4DP3DT
Taxes Due Today

What timing...I'm in the middle of my 2WW and it's the last possible day to do my taxes. Oy. Usually this would be a recipe for stress and disaster, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. That, or I really screwed them up royally! I cut my checks, wrote out my envelopes, and was done by 4:15PM EST. Whew. Relief. Glad that is over...until next year.

Embryos should be 7 days old today (you're still in there, yes?)...so definitely blasts, hopefully hatched, and hopefully trying to burrow in somewhere. I've been taking it easy hanging out at home save for a quick trip to the post office and Target. It's cold, rainy, and windy outside. I so do not have the wardrobe to be living in this part of the world. Really I don't. I feel I'm inferiorly dressed even for Target as most of the women there either have stylish rainboots or heeled leather boots with their jeans tucked in.

Me? I look like I just floated in from California with my jeans and YouTube sweatshirt. I am the epitome of casual.

So, here's my nether region report:

Slight cramping today...probably mostly due to the progesterone (which I am doubling up on and am at 400mg now). My daily POAS show that the HCG trigger is pretty much gone from my system - the line was barely visible this morning. So if anything shows up in the days to come I'll be quite thrilled. I bought a box of very sensitive POAS's from a biomedical supply company a few years ago and although they are expired by at least a year, I'm sure they're just fine to use. I think they came 30 to a box for about $35 + S/H and the sensitivity is about 15iu of HCG (which is better than just about anything over the counter).

The boyfriend is on the other coast til tomorrow night on a business meeting and I'll drive out to Philly to fetch the kids tomorrow night so that they'll be here when he returns late tomorrow night...and then we'll have them for the entire weekend. They say that it's good for your fertility to be around babies when you're doing IVF, but do three year olds count? :-)
