First I really want to say thank you for all the lovely comments on my last post – they all made me feel normal, and I am happy to say that at this point I have a ton of hope for this cycle which brings me to the items of note about this cycle.
1. I am craving only salty foods – not sugary which is NOT normal at all.
2. I have so many cramps.
3. I have been exhausted.
4. Our cat Ellie is obsessed with me (she was sleeping or walking on my chest ALL night long last night, the night before, and the 3 days before that). Consequently, I have sore boobs, and I do not sleep well. H. said she is trying to secure her place before any baby comes (poor kitty she already is the middle cat).
5. I have been having vivid dreams, probably because of the above?
All of these symptoms, minus an obsessive cat could be because of that darn progesterone! We will find out for sure on Friday, and we are doing everything in our power not to test until then. Those of you who got an HCG shot, how long did you have to wait until you could test so you would not get a false positive? We just might not have the strength to wait for the blood test.

Very good news! The sucky part about progesterone is that you will feel so pregnant. But the cat vibes are excellent as I have much belief in feline intuition. I’m all hopes for you love!
The hcg will stay in your system for different lengths depending on how much you got. 5000? 7500? 10000? I had 7500 and got a negative on cd11, but each body is different. I’d tell you to wait to test, but I didn’t, so no judgement here if you cave.
