So I went in for my baseline for FET 4 this morning. I had to bring my boys, and I feeling horrible bringing them to an IF office although they would never exist without fertility my littlest one was hilarious during my ultrasound. we'll just say he asked lots of questions. Good news is my fluid was minimal I just hope it stays that way. Meds begin Sunday. I'm so anxious especially because I know the chances are slim. I just pray for once my lining thickens and I make it to transfer. And if course for the transfer to work, then actually have a baby. It all seems so complicated and like a million things can go wrong. Sorry I'm so negative coming right out of the gate but after 8 months of treatment and never making it to transfer, I'm tainted. I'm really hoping I wake up an optimist tomorrow.
I can relate to tryingyetagain's post below because we all had the stomach flu this week and it was the longest week of our lives. Every one was miserable so I feel for you! I hope you feel better for IUI tomorrow.
Re: It begins
It really does seem like a miracle that anyone can have a baby, ever. There are a zillion things that can go wrong! I hope the stars align for you, and you have a successful FET!
Thanks for your kind thoughts. So sorry to hear you guys had the bug too. DH ended up getting it too, but so far DS hasn't, thank goodness. I am feeling a little better today, and tomorrow I should be almost back to normal. But of course, we are supposed to get a major snowstorm tonight/tomorrow, so it will be a race against the clock to get to the clinic while the swimmers are still swimming!
