A few funny things:
1. I consulted an internet psychic (Jenny Renny) in July, and she said I'd get my BFP in November from a cycle that started in October. She was right.
2. This cycle was so disappointing to me. I had a small cyst at my baseline, and after four days of shots, there was just one huge, dominant follie (the RE wanted to see 2-4), and we were so bummed, we canceled the IUI. I didn't want to "waste" money on such a "bad" cycle. I wanted to share, because kelnyc was right -- it only takes one. ![]()
3. You may remember I fired my old RE and wrote a bunch of nasty reviews online.
I was so sure this cycle hadn't worked, I was without an RE for a week or so. Now I am meeting with my new RE today and will get to say, "Hi! I'm kinda pregnant!" This feels really weird.
4. MH and I agreed we were going to wait until lunch to get beta #2 results, and the stinker talked to the nurse and called me because it was good news. So MH told ME I'm pregnant. ![]()

Trying really hard not to be jealous
I so know that feeling. I'm sorry.
I keep thinking I need to try to enjoy this, because lately I was verging on bitter and I'm always pessimistic. I feel like I'm pretending. IF really messes with your head.

JennyRenny told me I'd get a BFP in a November into December cycle (i.e., this one). I almost wish I hadn't read this, because the combination of that prediction and the fact that this is my first injects cycle means my hopes are already up TOO high. I need to keep telling myself that psychics are fake. ;-)
