7dp3dt: If I were paying attention to symptoms...

If I were paying attention to my symptoms, I might be noticing that I've been pretty crampy the past few days and a bit nauseated. Perhaps this is from the HCG booster, I have told myself, reminding myself to stay in the moment and not try to predict the outcome...

And then today, walking to get lunch, I was a little short of breath when I was walking quickly. I know I'm out of shape now and everything, but hmmm...I seem to recall higher heartrate/being more easily winded was a major early pregnancy symptom in the past.

Probably nothing. And I'm being all zen anyway and just staying in the moment, right? Riiiigggghhhhtttttt.

OK. Back to the dissertation with me.

    Hang in there. It is hard not to over analyze. It is amazing you can work on a thesis and go through the 2ww! You just have to make it to Friday. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

    If you were paying attention, you might feeling early pregnancy. Enjoy the possibility.

    And be proud of yourself. You are so incredibly strong.

    All sounds good to me, BUT the HCG is even more evil than progesterone. Wishing it is so much more than the booster!!

    I'm hoping with everything I've got! I'm amazed and impressed that you're able to focus on that dissertation of yours. To me, being in the 2ww was like having Attention Deficit Disorder - I couldn't focus on anything else. Just 2 more sleeps?
