We had our post-failed-IVF consult today. Calista and Skip both stayed home today, since they have my cold, so all three of us went to the consult. Calista told me she was going to tell the doctor that the baby seeds didn’t work, and she did. It was cute, though a little depressing.
Dr. B went over the cycle and seemed to think everything went great as far as egg quality, fertilization, and embryo quality. (Read on …)
Last night, we decided to go out and spoil Calista and ourselves. Calista got a Genevieve doll (from Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses) as well as her own copy of the movie (we’d been renting it). We walked around the mall, and later Wal-Mart for a good 5 hours, but Skip and I never did find anything for ourselves. We still had a nice time out, though. (Read on …)
Not pregnant.
We will have a follow up consult on Monday to discuss the cycle and decide what — if anything — we want to do next.
Thank you so very much for all of the love and support that everyone has shown during this time. It has helped me so much, and has meant the world to me. (Read on …)
I had my blood drawn for my Beta (pregnancy test) at 10 am. I should have the results within 2 hours from that time, though I realized that would be noon, and with my luck, the nurses will go to lunch and I won’t hear until 1 or 1:30 pm.
No matter, as we aren’t feeling very optimistic. I am a certified Pee-on-a-Stickaholic and have done several home tests up until two days ago. They were all negative. (Read on …)
No BFP.
I’ve got nothing left. It’s over, I just know it. Two days until it’s confirmed. The only good thing about getting a negative Friday is that I can stop these damned shots. Doing them now just sucks, because I know there’s no point, but I won’t stop them until my blood test. (Read on …)
I thought it wouldn’t matter if today’s test was BFN, because I’ve had so many and what’s one more, right? And, for the most part, I haven’t felt like my other tests were BFP anyway, I always seem to get faint lines every cycle.
But I guess, deep down, I really did think I’d get a BFP for my birthday. And when I didn’t, well, it hit a lot harder than I thought it would. (Read on …)
Well I went out and got some more tests. Dollar Tree and Equate say BFN. I used the same pee that was still in the cup from this morning. Maybe the hCG dissipates as it sits there in the cup? Yeah, that’s it…
They both had nice evaps, but nothing anywhere near the 10 minute mark. Phooey. Better luck tomorrow…
Ok, I was totally thrilled with this morning’s test, and that says a lot, because I don’t get excited about lines unless I really think they are real.
I definitely had a visible line at 5 minutes on the Accu-Clear. I photographed it at 5 minutes and 8 minutes and scanned it at 10 minutes, but was disappointed to see that it didn’t really show up in any of the pictures or scan, so now I’m not as excited. (Read on …)
