Half way finished with two week wait.

It's Sunday.  It's been one week since the IUI, and no symptoms other than sore boobs (which we all know is the progesterone) and higher temps (also from supplements).  Admittedly, my temp at 98.6 is the highest it's ever been during a cycle...but this is also the first time I've ever been taking 400mg of progesterone instead of just 200mg.

But :::blushes:::: there is one other thing.  We had afternoon delight today (and I recently woke up from the nap that this induced) and I have to say...there are a few times when I've thought "best time EV-ER" but this had to have truly taken the cake!  I am mortified if our neighbors heard me.  Live in a town home and share the side walls.  Our bed butts up to one of these walls, so if our neighbor to the left went to the bathroom at any point during this I'm sure he heard me.  Plus, we had the living room screen door open.  Now, granted it's about 25 ft. away from the closed bedroom door.  But I'm telling you, I was LOUD.

So naturally, I've just been on a search to see if higher levels of progesterone increase levels of sexual satisfaction.  Sadly, most sites I found were about menopause so I didn't get a good answer to my question.  And for all I know, it was just really good, plain-old, sex.  I am after all 34 and at the height of my sexual peak. (Which I have to say, has seriously fun these last two years).  And in a way, I chalk up to a reason to be happy (if I need to try and find any silver lining to this crappy hell of IF) is that we don't have kids yet.  I can't imagine trying to have been quiet!

I can't remember if I blogged about my P4 levels from Friday.  It was 16.  Which, since they want it over 15 on medicated cycles is fine.  And it was taken two days early, so who knows what they are today if they had been taken now?  But ever since my first IUI levels were 25, it's like I think any less than that is not great.  But I am trying to remind myself the advice I give to all the girls who come and have the same woe's.  We have so many grads that had low P4 levels, even when pregnant.  It's not really a good indication of anything - other than ovulation in and of itself.  Oh well.  One more week (at the most since my period really should show up on Friday with my crappy luetal phase) of obsessing.
