IVF Cycle II Beta

So, most unfortunately, but not surprisingly, my beta came back negative yesterday. I was so prepared that I didn't even use a home test beforehand. This was the least disappointed I've ever been. I think I felt unconscious relief because, even if I had had a positive, the chance of miscarriage would have been really high. It would have been difficult to stay positive.

We'll move on to donor eggs now. I'm not sure when we'll start but I'm hoping in January.

Until then, Happy Holidays Everyone! I'm looking forward to sharing our next step!

IVF cycle II - Transfer

Transfer went well. My co-patients and I laughed a lot and one of them reminded me so much of my Aunt Virgie. It was a real pleasure talking with them.

Two enbryos made it and both were transferred - now begins the two week wait until I can have my HCG blood test. This is always the hardest part by far. 

Thankfully, with the holiday season upon us, there is much to do and that will help. I've been watching videos about festive bakes, I need to write and send out cards, and I think I'm going to try and make some Meyer lemon marmalade. 

In the meanwhile, as far as treatment goes, I'm under strict orders to avoid lifting anything, avoid my morning walks, take my vitamins, and inject myself with progesterone daily.  Oh, and I need to laugh a lot and be happy! 

I'm doing my best - can't wait to see the kiddos at school on Monday. I've missed them!
