Hope this morning went well!!

And I know no one can tell you not to feel guilty, but I’m pretty sure your husband would not want babies with that other Alexa….I mean, she’s sooooo inferior to you!

As the “culprit” in our relationship, I can relate to the guilt that you are feeling, but seriously, Habermas? You’ve done Scott and his progeny a great favor by agreeing to have his children.

Yep – you can feel the twinges around that time. Try not to worry (ha ha I know) too much about the e2 – a lot of clinics don’t even check you until day 6 or 7. I’d say look at my e2! But you sure as hell don’t want to be me. Also, don’t most protocols drop the lupron to 5 with stims?

Here’s hoping things went well today. I know it’s hard not to feel guilt or anxiety or hell any of the negatives that go along with infertility, especially after you’ve been dealing with it for so long. But I really, really hate to see you blaming yourself for something you have no control over (which is the problem to begin with, isn’t it?).
Sending positive thoughts and energy for this cycle.

De-lurking to give you a quick hug. I know you have had all the best advice; has anyone mentioned acupuncture? We have chosen not to go the ART route (too old to mess with the drugs and the little time we have left to give my erratic ovaries their best shot)–I am having regular cycles and ovulating for the first time in, well, too long. It has taken patience though, it was three months before things evened out, and now we’re just a bit over a year into it. We’ll all get there! Rooting for you.

I had a long, cathartic cry in my car on my way to work this morning, over another endless cycle trying to conceive ending in the unsurprising failure, over our delicious toddler-boy who we conceived without trying after ten weeks of marriage, over the fact that nothing’s wrong and after almost a year of trying, we should be pregnant by now, but mostly over the fact that I’m married to the best dad alive and he deserves another kid to love. I getcha on the guilt. But congrats on the twangy ovaries. That can only be a good sign, right?

Ah, but see… you’re also the reason that he’s so excited to have babies in the first place because you’re the reason your expletive shouting, Habermas reading kids are going to be so utterly fabulous.

I definitely think you should take those twingy heavy achey bloaty feelings as a good sign. I know it’s dangerous to say such things, but I really think there’s good reason to expect better news tomorrow.

Wishing good positives thoughts for your scan today. Good luck and I hope the follies have been in overdrive.

We’re lucky in that we’re BOTH to blame for needing IVF. Nothing like spreading the guilt around :)

I hope that your ovaries are neither under, nor over, but doing jeeeeuuuuussstttt the right amount of egg action right now.
