R/R: BFN yesterday sucked. I was pretty hopeful about this cycle. I guess I am not 100% out yet but do expect AF to rear her ugly head by Saturday. Other than that, I chopped 9 inches of hair yesterday and donated to help with wigs for kids with cancer and other hair loss. I felt so happy to be able to do this!
CS/Q: nada
GTKY: If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be? I think it would be fun/funny to have a monkey or raccoon. This raccoon stealing food in the spoiler is one of my favorite haha!

Me: 29 | DH: 31 Married: 08/2016 TTC: 10/2017 IUI #1-3 BFN IVF 11/2018- 23 eggs retrieved, 16 mature, 14 fertilized with ICSI with 7 embryos making it to freeze FET #1 02/2019 BFN FET #2 4/19 BFP!!!!! EDD 1/4/20
Typical LPs length: 13 days (irrelevant because progesterone)
Testing: BFN this morning. Now waiting fro 12/26 beta.
R/R: I convinced myself I should test this morning because if it was positive I'd be happy and if it was negative I'd be ok since it's still early. My logic is not sound. I'm now very sad. But this evening is winter commencement at my university, and I'm really excited to see some amazing students graduate.
CS/Q: Nada.
GTKY: If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be? A hedgehog for sure.
Testing: I decided I'm going to test Christmas Eve
R/R: I'm off today and DH went snowboarding so I've been eating snacks and watching Netflix all day while ignoring the giant pile of laundry
CS/Q: None
GTKY: If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be? I've always loved arctic foxes and some people do own them as pets, but I could never. They seem like so much work and I don't think it's really the best idea.
@kobrien827 So sorry about the BFN. It's the worst when you are so hopeful and then nothing. Are you liking your short hair? That racoon video is cute but they are seriously the worst. They are always around my house and are always hissing at me. Do not like.

Testing: Not until my CBAD asks me to if AF hasn’t arrived - plus I’ll be staying at my parents until AF is due...
R/R: Sorry for being totally awol this TWW. Crazy busy, and also sometimes find it difficult after so many cycles. Today was my last day at work so it’s only emergency calls until 3rd January now, and heading for a romantic break in London for two days then to my parents for Xmas itself.
CS/Q: Nope, my temps are all over the place.

I may have gone a little crazy online last night in my antsiness. Whoops! But it's nice to feel a little more hopeful now for my September baby, and not quite so sad over our August baby. It's a process. </p><p>CS/Q:</p>GTKY: I think bunnies and chinchillas are just so soft and cute, but we have two dogs so that would not fly.
@businesswife So happy to see you getting excited for this baby! Being happy for September baby isn't diminishing your grief over the August baby in any way.
@emmasemm So jealous of your London trip! Any plans? I have the travel bug real bad.
@kobrien827 *hugs* Sorry for the BFN. They super suck.
@darkstar42 *hugs* to you too! I felt the same way with testing today. Hope you have a good time tonight at the ceremony!

CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: Oh love the fox idea! I'd probably have an elephant, assuming I had the space to make it happy. Which also means I'd need more than one. I'll take a farm of elephants please.
@eleven_ Thanks for the support. Here's hoping you get good news on Christmas eve! @emmasemm *hugs* Thank you, friend. It helps knowing that you're all hoping for me. I'm envious of your London trip! MH and I really need a getaway like that. @BusinessWife Thank you! I have my fx so hard for your transfer tomorrow! @SkilledSailor Yeah, you'd think I would realize by now that testing always sucks! I had a good conversation with my grad school mentor (not about ttc though! I don't think he wants that level of info about me), so my day is improving.
Testing: trying to wfaf but may test tomorrow. AF due anytime between tomorrow and Tuesday. It's so hard not to test!
