CD22: 3DP3.5DT

Embies were 6.5 days old this morning and edging up on 7 as of this evening. Implantation ought to be underway but I'm not having any overt signs of implantation. Some fullness in the uterine area, more like heaviness, but the evil PIO is known for fooling more than one women into thinking she was pregnant.

I'm optimistic at this point. I don't feel that all is lost, yet. Tomorrow will be CD23 and I'll start the POAS routine in the morning to see if anything is afoot. My HCG trigger was last Thursday night, so theorhetically speaking, it should still show up in my urine. Maybe a dim line, maybe not.

AA the Expat

One of my dearest friends, AA, came over late last night and said that he is most likely moving to Germany. J and I and AA all lived together years ago as roommates in a huge house in the Almaden Valley. We remained great friends after we moved out and have taken a few trips to LA together. AA works at a Sillycon Valley company that has an office near to Stuttgardt and he just received a contract/offer from them. He's nervous as all hell about leaving the US and going to a country where he doesn't speak a lick of the language. I've argued that this could be an excellent career move for him as he's been stuck at in a rut in his current position. He has thought often of quitting, as of recent, and because of that, I told him he should be jumping all over the opporunity to "do something different".

I will miss him terribly, but I will also be going to Germany often to visit him. Hopefully with a tot in tow. :-)

OK, by the time I finished typing the above I developed a nice uterine cramp. I hope this means something besides MM's progesterone is working wonderfully!!

(BTW: Thank you, MM, for being my PIO knight in shining armor).

Update @ 8:20PM PST:
Okay. Those cramps that started above? They lingered through my cooking a salmon musaman curry for dinner and became so intense that I had "J" finish the cooking while I sat in my chair and wondered to myself, "What the hell was that!?". I was truly taken aback as this came out of nowhere. After dinner they have pretty much dissipated...but I can still kind of feel where the cramping was. I even had weird cramps down my thighs at the same time. Total strangeness.

Multiple frantic TP checks show no implantation bleeding, but maybe tomorrow?

Cross fingers, knock on wood, throw salt, spit, make sign against evil eye.
