The nurse called at 3:35 p.m. while I was in the grocery store mind you. Just hurts. The test came back negative...as in zero. She said I should expect AF anytime and take the letrozole days 3 - 7 and go in for bloodwork to check estrogen levels on day 10.
Just numb and yes, sad. I think I was trying to stay hopeful, yet I knew I wasn't feeling anything different and thought perhaps this WOULD be our cycle. Having that "gut" feeling last week must have been a precurser....who knows.
In my head today I actually was imagining the EDD and how it would be this upcoming Winter. AF needs to arrive quickly so we can get this next cycle started. I still believe that God's plan is just "not now" and that I just need to be patient. Feeling discouraged just the same. (I know I'm not alone....today's postings really hit home.)
Thank you for all of your prayers and support.....today and everyday. I could not go through all of this without the kindness of people I've never met, but who I know so understand what I am going through.
