So here’s the thing. At our transfer the f/s said we should come back for the beta 10-12 days later. Today is 12 days, so Q. and I planned that we should test at home on Thursday (10 days) just to see where we were at. That test was a clear bfn, which fit with [...]

IVF #2- 8dp5dt- Reality check
Posted in Medications, TWW on August 31, 2010 | 2 Comments »
After I wrote that post yesterday I remembered that I had experienced cramping after my first round of IVF. So I went back through my old entries and found this post, which was written at the exact same point in the cycle. I was stunned at how what I’d written echoed how I was currently [...]
IVF#2- 7dp5dt- The Week that Drags
Posted in Emotions, IVF, TWW on August 30, 2010 | 4 Comments »
This weekend was hard. My body finally decided it wasn’t that big of a fan of the ethyl oleate solution which the progesterone is in. At first I just had two itchy areas, one on each side of my butt. I didn’t realize they were there until I found myself wondering why I kept absentmindedly [...]

A typical morning. Me: Gosh, here I am typing/reading/whatever after breakfast and I don’t think I feel cramping anymore. I don’t think my bbs are sore anymore, either. Maybe I’ll just sit quietly for a while and pay attention to my body. Brain: Crap. Crap! She’s sitting quietly and paying attention again. Uterus and BBs: [...]

Two of the younger nurses at the clinic have set up a phone line and email address for cycle monitoring patients. You never actually get a person, but they listen to your message and then they actually call you back, or answer the email. Usually that same day! This is amazing, and is the best [...]
IVF #2- 1dp5dt- some good news
Posted in Emotions, IVF, TWW on August 24, 2010 | 2 Comments »
The clinic froze two blastocysts today. I was so relieved when I heard that that I forgot to ask some key questions (were they graded? are they frozen together, or separately?), so I’ve had to leave a message to see if anyone will give me more information (really, I wish they would just email me [...]
IVF #2- transfer report
Posted in Emotions, IVF, Medical issues, TWW on August 23, 2010 | 5 Comments »
Here is what you DON’T want to hear your f/s say as she peruses the report from the lab: “So we’re not freezing any today then.” Q. and I both absolutely freaked out inside when we heard that, but things turned out to be not quite as bad as we feared. A significant number of [...]
And, once again…

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 [...]
