What is going on?
Ever since I ovulated I’ve had constant twinges on both sides of my uterus. It’s nothing that hasn’t happened before so it’s not really a big deal as it could just be a symptom of ovulation, which, I guess, is fair enough.
But since yesterday, I’ve had very obvious uterine cramps. They feel like the implantation cramps I got with both IVF transfers. However, it could just be how my body responds to my luteal phase hormones, so it’s unlikely there’s anything to it.
I’m 6/7 DPO so it’s interesting that the side twinges have now developed into central uterine cramps. I can just imagine the side twinges being the embryo(s) in my fallopian tubes and the cramping being the implantation, but that’s just wishful thinking as it hasn’t happened in two years, so it won’t be happening now.
If by some miracle it does happen, I don’t think I’ll tell Telis, it’ll just be a secret for as long as I can keep it one.
I actually didn’t tell Telis when my fertile window was. I didn’t even mention anything to do with fertility. I knew where I was in my cycle when we had sex – CD10 and CD12 before ovulating some time between CD14 and CD15. If it works, I can only wonder why this cycle and not the previous ones. My theories would be:
- IVF/my previous pregnancy somehow fixed my hormones or whatever it was preventing pregnancy
- Telis‘ sperm had gotten stronger with his beta blockers and improved diet
But I’m more than likely going to start my period soon so they’re probably moot theories.
We’ve booked a 12 day trip to Thailand for my birthday/our honeymoon although a couple of days will be spent in transit. We’ll start off with three days in Bangkok, and then fly to Phuket for another three days, before spending the last three days in Bangkok again. It’s an expensive trip but we need to live our lives. IVF is parked for a while but that doesn’t mean our happiness needs to be.
