I still had a super light ghost of a line this morning, that or I have serious line-eye. I don't think it's possible to get a lighter line, so I am calling my trigger out of my system.
Now for the scary part, looking for the BFP. It's weird, testing the last few says wasn't scary or nerve wracking, because I knew it was my trigger. Now it's the real deal, I'm looking for my BFP.
I was so positive and calm the first few days after my ET. We transferred a good quality early blast and had a good shot at pregnancy. Now the closer we get to beta day, I am feeling less positive. I just feel like there is no way that this worked. Out of two IVF cycles we had 14 eggs retrieved and 8 fertilized normally. Of those 8 only 3 were decent quality (fragmentation and # of cells) on day 3 and only 1 made it to blast. What are the odds that this one lonely embryo is chromosomally normal and able to implant? I just feel like the odds are against us.
To make it worse, I haven't really had any symptoms. Maybe a little cramping, but it could also have been bloating/gas pain. My freaking boobs haven't even been sore. I've had more "symptoms" on Clomid cycles, when I didn't even supplement with progesterone.
Maybe I am just preparing myself for the worst. Since we didn't have anything to freeze, if this cycle fails, we'll be starting over with a third fresh IVF. Of course I will do whatever it takes, but financially we can only do so many fresh cycles. I am also afraid of what my RE will have to say if this cycle fails. Our cycle results so far have pointed to an egg quality issue. Is there even a point to trying again with my own eggs?
Please let this cycle work.
Girl. I can respect your hesitation. Truly. But don't lose hope. Miracles happen every day. This embryo could be your miracle!!
ReplyDeleteI have so much admiration for you and your courage as you go through this. We are all on trial for some reason during this cruel and unfair battle with IF. I have faith that it will end well for us both. You will be a mother!!! Soon!!! Hang in there, friend.
