Negative. At least I can enjoy the smug sensation of being right, and telling Q. “I told you so.” (This is cold comfort.) Dr. L. is clearly not happy. He wants me in there on day 2 for a follow up. This won’t be happening seeing as I have absolutely NO desire to inflict the [...]

FET #2- 13dp3dt
Posted in Emotions, FET, Medications, TWW on December 17, 2009 | 5 Comments »
So tomorrow is the big day. This week has gone by faster than I thought it would. I think it’s partially because I’ve been busy with schoolwork, but mostly because I finally started to get out of the house every day for a walk, which has helped to contain (note: not eliminate) the crazy that’s [...]
FET #2- 6dp3dt

Nearly a week through. Thank goodness. I’ve found in the past that the first week goes by relatively quickly, and it’s the second week that drags and drags. The first week you know it’s too early for anything you’re experiencing to be “symptoms”, so it’s easier to check out, kick back, relax, and try to [...]
FET #2- Transfer Day
Posted in FET, ttc, TWW on December 4, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Well, maybe I should predict the weather, or organize train timetables or something. We turned up, as requested, at 11.45 am. Our two embryos were placed into my uterus at 1.30 pm. But since I had indeed brought a book (and we even bought lunch at Tims beforehand and packed it in), and I didn’t [...]
FET #2- T-Day minus 1
Posted in Emotions, FET, ttc on December 3, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Transfer is set for noon tomorrow, which means probably around 1.30 pm given that my clinic tends to run all sorts of late if you’re not having a retrieval. This means that I have learned the following lessons: 1. Take a book with you! Even if you only get there the scheduled 15 minutes before [...]
FET #2, Day 7
Posted in Emotions, FET, ttc on November 25, 2009 | 5 Comments »
It’s funny how quickly some things become routine. Every step of the IVF seemed terrifying. The drugs! The appointments! The technology! It was all I could do not to FREAK OUT every.single.day. FETs are much easier, of course, for one thing. But I also think I’m past the point where things can suprise me. You [...]
Umm…I thought we were getting a break?

Q. and I were discussing when we wanted to do this next FET. We’d decided on December because semester will be over and I can literally spend the entire two weeks resting at home. Next semester is crunch time for me, as my comprehensive exams are coming up in April, so there would be no [...]
Head up, shoulders back

First of all, thank you so very very much for your words of comfort and support. It is appreciated more than I can say. I took a large chunk of the weekend to mope and feel sorry for myself and to cancel social engagements where I would have to make meaningless small talk with people [...]
Expected but still wretched
Posted in Emotions, FET, TWW on October 30, 2009 | 7 Comments »
It boggles my mind that I can have had two days to prepare for this news, can be expecting this news, can have practised how to respond to said news (i.e., do NOT cry on the phone with the lovely nurse who has to make these calls and listen to sad women weep all day), and [...]
Oh the irony…

Well, if you’d asked me this morning, I’d have said there couldn’t possibly be a worse answer than a negative from my beta. Turns out I was wrong. My beta came back at 3. So I’m in low beta limbo (= hell) for the next two days until I can go back in on Friday and confirm [...]
