Not that I needed the final word, but the beta’s back and I’m definitely not pregnant. George, Jr. is not to be. I take solace in the fact that I don’t have to put my tail between my legs and thank Dr. Hate. So I can stop the estrace and the PIO. Wait, I already [...]

No more PIA or PIO
Posted in beta, BFN, IVF#2 (Take 3), PIO on June 18, 2009 | 5 Comments »
I talked with my nurse today. I’m going in tomorrow for my beta despite being sick. My doctor this morning said if the plague I have is the flu, I should be better by tomorrow, and if it’s not, it’s probably bacterial, and I’m now on antibiotics just in case, so I should be okay [...]

I love my husband. And you know why? Because if you look in the dictionary under sweet, optimistic, or (most importantly) naive, you’ll find a picture of him. Allow me to illustrate with a conversation from yesterday: Him: Did you take your morning estrace?Me: Yeah, but really? What’s the point?Him: I’m still hoping George will [...]

Still sick. Still not pregnant (so Barren? You can stop holding out that tiny bit of hope, okay?). I have yet to schedule my beta, which is supposed to be Friday. I wonder if they’ll notice if I don’t show up for it? I’m guessing they would notice. Back in 2006 when I was away [...]
I Am Sick

I am sick. And I am also not pregnant. I did cave and POAS. Today is 9dp5dt. Otherwise known as 14 days post retrieval. Though I suppose some of you will argue that it’s too early to tell, a lot of clinics do their betas at 14 dp retrieval. The fact that my clinic waits [...]
Gestating

Because it’s fun for me, every time my husband is trying to annoy me (even jokingly), I say, “No! You can’t do that! I’m gestating!” And I melodramatically throw myself down on the couch, clutching my abdomen protectively, to ensure the safety of our precious morula. All joking aside, this exchange belies my true feelings [...]

cryo report and peeing on sticks

I know it will shock you all to hear this, but… none of my little buggers made it to the freezer. I’m … well, I suppose on one level I am upset that I can’t seem to make decent embryos (though I do know that my clinic has really high standards for freezing embryos). But [...]

It’s Like DeJaVu All Over Again
Posted in and this is where it started to go downhill, IVF#2 (Take 3) on June 5, 2009 | 10 Comments »
The phone call from SuperDoc on Day 4 explaining the outlook and the options. The apologetic tone in his voice. The determination to push forward. The sense that maybe things aren’t quite as perfect as he’d like them to be. I feel like I’ve lived this life before. I’ve been down this path, I know [...]
