An Altrui couple talk about their feelings on diary day one of their two week wait.
Agenda for the day: Lie on the sofa, drink plenty of water, watch Disney back to back and frantically Google foods to avoid in pregnancy. I had a sudden panic of whether I could eat mascarpone cheese. Oh dear, I became fearful that this was the tip of the iceberg of frantic Googling.
This, of course is the worst thing to do when you are in our position. The sheer volume of IVF forums, with everyone and anyone giving their two pennies worth of “advice” was horrendous. Rule number one of Googling: Do not Google. In between The Jungle Book and the unhelpful IVF forum, I began the journey of analysing every little feeling in my body. Remember that this is Day ONE post transfer but nevertheless I found myself asking; do my trousers feel too tight yet? Slow down woman! We are ONE day post transfer; we are not 6 months pregnant just yet!
Blimey this was going to be a long ride.
