Welcome, Stacy & Bearlake!
I'm glad you found us (and glad you joined us after lurking, Bearlake
) FX'd for both your results - hoping the embryologists have good news for you.
Purple, I'm glad you're feeling a little better today. Like OMM said (at least, I think it was OMM), your moods are going to bounce around for a while but eventually you'll reach a point where the good days outweigh the bad.
Butterfly, FX'd you caught the eggie this month! Try to take comfort in the fact that you've done everything you can this month - don't beat yourself up over it, because the rest is just out of your hands. If it doesn't work this month, do you have a plan for what your next step is?
And how come everyone knows about Wooly's cakes except me?!
I want cake!!
Actually, I happen to have cake in the house today - very unusual for me - it's too dangerous to keep around, as evidenced by the fact that I came
thiiiiiis close to giving in to the urge to have a slice for breakfast....
But I was a good girl and had my cereal instead. Not nearly as tasty, but at least I get to feel self-righteous for it.
FYI for those of you who don't follow the graduates thread, Pablo had her little girl, Josephine, yesterday, after 34 hrs of labor and an epidural that wore off just before delivery. Yeeouch!!! Stories like that are enough to make me wonder sometimes if I
reeeealllyy want to do this.... Anyway, they're both doing well. (Never, extra
to you - I know Pablo's was a tough one for you since your EDD was so close to hers.
)
AFM, def leaning toward IVF the last few days, but DH is def not... he's very anxious about the expense of it, since IUI is so much cheaper and we know it works for us. I just don't think I have the emotional stamina left to go through 3 more rounds of it and THEN try several rounds of IVF - I am ready to be done. I've been at this long enough, and with the way we both felt before this last pregnancy, I suspect we'd be closer to giving up than pushing forward if we go through another 3 IUIs - that's certainly how we felt before this last cycle. I think the temporary pregnancy just gave DH a little case of amnesia and has made him forget how miserable and exhausted we both were just a month ago...
Ooh, but on the good news side, we got gorgeous weather all of a sudden yesterday! It's been in the upper 90s for most of the summer, a good 10-15 degrees above average for central Indiana, but then yesterday the high was only 70 and we got to sleep with the windows open for the first time all summer! I was very excited - DH not so much.
I'm off to counseling shortly - I may have that piece of cake when I get home....
I hope you all have a good day.
xoxo
