Guess what arrived today – early. Yep, my most (un)welcome monthly visitor. I’m sad because I had let hope creep in this month. Everything timed right, bizarre tugs that several times stopped me in my tracks from my uterus, high BBT temps much longer than usual…
But then, in the middle of a client call unmistakable cramps.
Guess that means operation FET is in effect for late February.
The only consolation is that tomorrow I am going to buy the biggest latte I can find and I won’t have to avoid great North Carolina microbrews this weekend visiting my family.
Stupid AF! I’m sorry she showed up. It always sucks no matter how many taboo things we get to enjoy when she does. Enjoy your latte and enjoy your family this weekend. I’m hoping that your FET will be your magic ticket out of IF Land.
Me too – Thanks Teejay! Some drown misery in a martini, but I go for lattes – with full fat milk. Last month I tried to enjoy it, but ended up having to sprint through the airport on our way for a vacation and so decided it was a sign that I shouldn’t indulge. If something similar intervenes this time, I might just give up.
Dammit.
I suspect I’ll be joining you tomorrow.
(With the whole period thing, not the North Carolina Microbrews although that sounds pretty brilliant).
Hope you don’t join me in supporting the tampon industry tomorrow. I’ll send a toast your way though wishing for this next cycle to be our time – it’s about damn time right?
Mmmmmm…microbrews.
I’m sorry AF showed. She can be a nasty lady, for sure. So what’s the story with FET prep – how are you feeling about it?
First step – call the clinic! DH is abroad until Sunday so I’m going to call Monday and find out what I need to do. Hoping it will just be intense monitoring, transfer and then success, but of course it isn’t that simple.
Hi Gracie- Just wanted to send some good luck your way for the FET, and I’m so sorry to hear about AF. But at least you can “indulge” in NC. Have fun!
Booze and caffeine, the silver lining. I’m sorry to hear your news.
If you could find a way to confide in your friends (even DH’s cousin) with as much honesty and warmth as you do with us on your blog, no-one could fail to be sympathetic, supportive and loving.
Am willing you on. It’s cack that DH can’t be there with you though…So often over the years of IVF I was travelling over to the US from the UK at bad times (thankfully no test dates), so my heart goes out to you.
All the good qi that you’ll be imbued with for February will doubtless help. x
