5DP3DT: Luteal Day 9
Statistically speaking, implantation should have happened sometime in the last day or so. I'm not sure what the 1st SD is for the data I posted a few days ago, but I realize that "they say" that it can happen as far out as 10 or 12 days. But what "they say" isn't really backed up by solid data, for which I had a great admiration and love (I did two senior theses in data analysis in college...just for the fun of it. Now you see whereof the madness derives?).
Luteal day 8 has arrived, and my cramps have come and gone, and then meekly returned and then left again. No spotting, no uterine tugging, no sore nipples, no nothing. I attempt to keep my hopes up and remember that my own mother had no signs of me until I started to kick wildly about three months or so along the way. I started kicking very very early, she alleges, and never let up once I got started. So if I am to be like my mom, perhaps there will be no sign of my little one(s) arrival until they, too, start to get tired of their cramped surroundings.
I'm tired of being a couch potato...but each time I feel a little twinge in the vicinity of my uterus, a voice in my head says to move slowly...take it easy...just a few more days. My acupuncturist said for me to move slowly, no jumping, no fast movements, to lay down often. In her words, "You are older! You need to really take it easy right now for the baby!" I listen to her. My butt has left a near permanent impression on the couch. The pair of ottomans are pushed up against the couch, and covered with an ultra thick blanket, so as to form a huge makeshift bed in front of the fireplace and TV.
And that is where I am headed.

post a commentI don't think you'll need a blanket today, with the beautiful weather. Don't want to get too hot either! tick tock tick tock
Is it Sunday yet??
I agree with the acupuncturist - take it slow and take care of yourself. Fingers madly crossed here.
Ok, the wait is even slowing down for ME. I can't even imagine how you feel right now.
I think resting is good. Who cares about the permanent ass print on the sofa? It's for the greater good.
haha, at least you have a reason to be a couch potato! Not sure what my excuse me. Oh yeah, I am lazy.
Keep taking it easy!!
The bum does start to get sore from all of the sitting.
Oh the waiting is so hard, I wish I could turn the clock for you.
Thinking of you and wishing you all the best.
Ha! My sofa has a permanent arse print on it anyway and that is before I go on bed/sofa rest! We are another day nearer Sunday, sweetie.
The wait always seems like it goes by really really slowly. Take it easy...as you said only a few more days! I hope you find something to distract you in the next couple of days! Thinking of you!
