Thanks to the recent release of Fifty Shades of Grey I doubt I'm the only woman in the UK walking around with a bruised arse wondering if yesterday's exertions have left me pregnant.
My bruises are as a result if the progesterone injections rather than any leather-based slap and tickle, though some of the instruments the doctor used yesterday would add a new dimension to the more adventurous bedroom. I'm sure the husband has never examined my cervix as closely as she did when I was winched open.
Erotic.
The husband clearly felt so, I had to stop him nipping into the wankatorium for a quick one off the wrist for old times sake.
Everything went really well.
This is worrying me.
I don't have anything to complain about.
Remember last time when the insertion was - and I can say this with full knowledge now - worst than labour?
Yesterday it was so quick and easy it was almost a pleasure.
The doctor was incredibly upbeat about her "dream team" and their success rates.
And my embryo looks like a perfect little already-hatching baboushka.
If I had one complaint it would the ridiculous length of time I am supposed to wait to test for pregnancy.
16 days.
16?
I mean if I do get pregnant I'll be practically ready to give birth before I find out if it worked at that rate.
I will test a bit earlier, the question is how early.
I've never gone for the testing from 4 days after the transfer I think the earliest has been about 9 or 10 days.
I suspect the reason my clinic asks us to wait so unendurably long isn't because you can't get a positive earlier - of course you can - but maybe they don't want the joy of a positive to be followed by a crash should the pregnancy turn out to be a shortlived chemical one. By 16 days a positive should mean a positive.
So here is the plan.
I am going to try and hold out as long as I can, there is no way I will wait 16 day a max of 14. But I won't post here until two weeks after the transfer.
I'm going to step away from the computer and try and enjoy this purgatory.
Wish me luck!
