I got my official transfer calendar today!

This is when it really gets real. It was a surprise because even though I have not gotten my period yet they called and said I could start. There is always a bit of anxiety around making sure you take the meds at the right time and according to the schedule. This puts my transfer date for February 10th. Now this date is always 'in flux' depending on how my body builds the very precious lining through the use of the estrace (estrogen). I was surprised to read that they do a pregnancy test only 7 days after transfer! I guess it's because they are 5 day embryos. So my pregnancy test date would be February 16! Right around Valentine's Day.

We to Joann's tonight to get thread for an art project. Mike always goes off and does mischievous things to keep himself entertained. He found these Batman sunglasses and was channeling his bat-dad persona.

Shots gone wrong and FB rant.

This madness called for a Facebook post tonight. To let people really see the face of infertility. Here's what I posted. "This is what infertility really looks like.

I have another 7 days of this nightly routine only to go for a biopsy - not even for an attempt at a transfer. I am a real life science experiment. I post this to vent, and to bring awareness to the true struggles of infertility. Shining a light on the darkness that plagues some people's lives with no one knowing. Suffering in the shadows is part of the greatest pain." I got a huge outpouring of support and people have told...

Waiting for Biopsy Results

3 days until my biopsy and I'm feeling very anxious. This waiting in between is awful. Many of the women on my FB group have transferred this month and many have gotten their BFP's. Makes me feel like I'm not part of the 'club'. Thankfully I have my art show to keep me busy. I worked my butt off this weekend prepping and getting everything branded and ready to go. Now I'm back to the slower pace at work as well. Though that's good - it gives me too much time to wonder and worry I guess.

Got my new protocol today.

Well. Things are moving along! I got a call from the ART lab in Florida today. They have sent my protocol to HFI and my prescriptions to a pharmacy in Ohio. I am to get my ultrasound and blood work on January 16 at HFI. Then wait for CD1 and we have a projected transfer date of February 10!
