I am having a hard time following all these abbreviations! I'm in my first cycle of IVF and today is my last day of stims?? I will go have the egg retrieval on Friday. I'm not sure the follicles.
Thanks so much, Sherri. I thought the 2ww was bad--how did I forget that the 6 hour wait is worst of all?
I can't decide whether to spend it indulging in enjoying being Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise, or concentrating on work. Or should I be preparing mentally for disappointment? I could start thinking about another HSG to see how my stuffy tubes are and planning an IUI, which at least I can afford; or draft a plan for how to afford IVF at a different clinic. Maybe all the numbers weren't in when I checked last year, but there are two other clinics in this area with better live birth rates for women over 42.
No matter how calmly I write now, thinking about it is making me want to cry. Mood-crazies continue--thank you, progesterone supplements.
Just saw this, Alice! I understand how nervous you must be! Hang in there! Just a few more hours! You know, I think having to work at least keeps you reasonably busy to make the time go by a little faster. I hope that you get good news in the afternoon! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers all day! SSBD and big hugs! :)
Uhm. Wow. Sorry about that last message. I have one side effect: mood-crazies. But I guess I really am scared of the blood test.
Blood test tomorrow morning. I don't even have progesterone supplement side effects left. Once again. I feel like I don't even believe anybody really has babies, it's all some sort of universal joke.
I'm terrified of the emotional crash I know is coming tomorrow afternoon but what can I do about it? Work will have to be business as usual...
Hi Sherri,
I think I am out this month, temp went down and started spotting today! Wow, this was a short cycle!!
Sending baby dust to the rest who are hanging in there!
