6dpiui

well, in my last post i said i had no symptoms. like right now, 3 days later, i still have no 'real' symptoms, but as time goes on and this is all i can obsess about :), i start to wonder if some things might count...

i've had a SLIGHT bloated feeling, kind of like feeling "full" in the uterine/ovarial region (i just made up the phrase, i'm pretty sure :) for a few days now. they aren't cramps, it isn't nausea, it isn't even really pains. it just feels kindof like you're full after thanksgiving, but all the time (not just after i eat).

also (TMI) i've been burping more than usual. gross, right? however, the other logical explanation for this is that we've essentially gone off the diet since IUI, meaning i'm eating way more carbs than normal. this could totally be the cause of extra burps :)

another weird thing--i've been having (except for one single day) essentially the same exact BBT ever day since IUI. i have no idea what this means; likely nothing. i googled it a little bit and didn't really find anything. it just stood out to me because my temps are ALWAYS up and down noticeably, and having 97.08, 97.05, 97.06, 97.06 is really odd for me. so something is different, whether it's a sticky bean or not that's causing it is the question.

and final dubitable symptom for today's list: today esther was downtown and we met up for lunch. when we walked past daley plaza, there was a group of ecuadorian dancers performing and we stopped a while to watch. when they were done, they sent up a little group of tiny children to try the same dance...there were about 10 of them, all like 3 feet tall and under :), dressed in traditional outfits and wandering around the stage semi-rhythmically:), and for some reason...both esther and i started crying! weirdest thing. i admit i'm an easy crier, but even this was unusual for me. and clearly esther isn't pregnant, but borrowing a page from the Book of Really Grasping at Straws, if i was pregnant maybe my hormones could be affecting her too? the thing is, she's REALLY not a crier. and we weren't even standing together (she had gone closer to get pictures) so it's not like we saw each other crying and influenced each other.

so anyway. i'm pretty sure none of these really count as symptoms still :), but i wanted to jot them down for posterity's sake just in case.

p.s. have i mentioned i want this sticky bean already?!?!?!
