I had some blood work done on Thursday and they said everything looked good, BUT they want me to increase the PIO injections from 1cc a day to 2cc a day.  From what I have been reading most clinics want the progesterone level to be at least 20ng/ml.  Mine was 15.8ng/ml.  I wasn't too happy about doing two shots a day.  DH was not too keen on the idea either.  He is the one that gives me the injections.  He does a good job at it but he does not like doing it.  We opted to try doing one 2cc injection.  It really is not as bad as I thought it would be.  It burns a little more but nothing I can't live with.  Hopefully everything will check out when we go back to the RE on the 13th.
4 days until the moment of truth!  I am feeling better and better about the results every day.  I have had a lot of the same symptoms I've had with some of my previous pregnancies.  The cramping and the fatigue started on day three post-transfer.  I started having bouts of nausea around day seven post-transfer.  Today my appetite has been insane.  I woke up starving, ate breakfast and less than 2hrs later was starving again.  I have one other symptom but it is not very lady like so I will refrain from typing it.  I'm sure some of you know what I am talking about.
I did ask IPs if they wanted me to do a home pregnancy test(HPT).  They thought about it for a little bit and decided it would be better to wait until the beta.  I can't blame them.  I know they are nervous.  If the results were negative, regardless of PG or not, then it would probably crush us all.  I've read stories where women get a positive beta and take a HPT just to see the lines and it came back negative.  I can see how that would be discouraging.  I'm trying to be patient.  It's not easy!
