I am in the TWW. Having lots of cramping sometimes intense- so I'm not sure what is going on. If I am not successful this round I will be moving to ivf (only if financially able to). Trying to stay positive but it is hard. AF due on Saturday so we shall see.
Wishing all you ladies a stress free week and a great first week of April.
Qotw: My favorite movie is Breakfast at Tiffany's. For many reasons but I can identify with the struggle to find ones on true self and to be open and accepting to "the big plan"
AFM: I am waiting for AF. Should've arrived last week. I just want to get this show on the road!
QOTW: I like comedies. I really like the Vacation movies with Chevy Chase.
TTC #1 since May 2010
OE IVF #1 9/2/13Cancelled- poor response
DE IVF #1 3/12/14- BFP 3/17/14- ectopic, right tube removed 4/11/14 @ 7 weeks
DE FET #1 7/3/14-Transferred 2 5AA 6 day embryos Beta 7/13/14 BFN
DE FET #2 9/5/14-Transferred 2 4BB 5 day embryos Beta 9/15/14 BFN
DE FET #3 in December- Cancelled, didn't respond to meds
DE FET #3 (2nd try) 2/13/15- Transferred 1 4BB and 1 4BA 5 day embryos Beta 2/23/15 BFN again (CP)
DE FET #4 - last 2 frosties....5/22/15- Transferred 1 4BA embryo...only one frostie thawed properly. Beta scheduled for 6/1- BFN (beta 2, 2.81, 6, 23, 49.4) 6/15/15 Discovered ectopic in left tube. Methotrexate given. Moving on to a new donor. Hoping to transfer by the end of the year.
Cant find a donor that is healthy and available. Looking at being happy with just the two of us.
Getting Closer to delivery, & starting to wonder about my daughters personality, features & what she will think of my choice to use a donor egg. My husband mentioned some similar thoughts. Not doubts exactly , more like hopes? Hope she is okay with this, hope she is healthy, happy...will she appreciate that we moved heaven and earth to have her? Or resent that she is missing half of her genetic history?
Also wondering if I will attempt another FET or if this is my last bit of pregnancy ever? The emotions.
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
Thanks ladies for everything..... AF came today. I simply feel defeated and that I'm slipping into infertility depression. I go Friday to discuss next steps. Thank again for everything
