I know! The whole thing is a mind game. The progesterone could be the culprit of preggo symptoms or it could be preggo symptoms. I keep having on/off cramps so I am hoping that is a good sign and my boobs go from sore to not sore at all. It's weird! DH always laughs at me because I am constantly poking my boobs. lol

That's so funny! I actually held the lamp by the bed up to my boobie last night (to see if it was darker), and DH busted out laughing. He thinks I am so bizarre these days....

I'm supposed to be working, but not being very successful at it..... I toggle back and forth between the daily embie status list to this site, to my cycle planner, back to the site, etc....
Nightime I just do things to waste time - watch TV, lie around... I am so unmotivated to clean, cook, etc...
How about you?
