Cycle 5 – 4.5 DPO

Tonight, I am getting these dull, stabbing pains on the left side of my stomach area. It’s gone on like this for the last hour or so and I’m hoping this is a good sign and not appendicitis or something.

Sigh – 7 more days until I get to test.

Cycle 5 – 4 DPO

Yesterday, I got a super sharp pain on my left side again, the same pain I felt at 5 DPO the last cycle I was pregnant. Not recalling that I received a similar pain before, of course, it prompted the search for “implantation pain.”

I am less optimistic this cycle than I was during the cycle I was *sure* I was pregnant. I mostly feel the horrible effects of the prednisone (crankiness, anxiety, nausea). Perhaps, it’s the prednisone that is clouding my brain – but I wouldn’t be surprised if we were disappointed this cycle. Of course, I am still hanging on to that hope that I am wrong.
