Negative

Well, I have been let down for the 70th time. That's right, since October 2002 I have been reminded every month that I am not pregnant. However, after a fertility procedure it is particularly difficult...this is why I put off IVF for so long. It's much easier to handle not being pregnant when you have not put all your hopes into medical intervention.

I wonder what it's like to see a positive pregnancy test. And, why must my eyes (or my heart) always play tricks on me....I swear I see a positive sign in the window, but after staring at it for 5 minutes it's just one flat line. I prepared myself...I was ready for the let down. But that didn't keep me from laying in bed all night thinking about what if's...how I would tell people, what baby things I wanted to buy, when my due date would be. I better start my period today or I am going to be one pissed off woman. If I have to wait a few more days there will be that glimmer of hope....the universe setting you up for a second round of disappointment...I've been there before. This Sucks!

Last time we spoke, the Dr. said she wanted me to take a month off to give my body a break, start the Birth Control Pill next month and then the injections and IVF in October.....I can't believe I have to wait 3 more months.

I am going back to bed now....I feel sick.

  2. Oh honey - I am so so sorry. We've all been there: the hopeful night before where our fantasies run away with us, and the upsetting morning after when we come crashing back down to earth.

    Be kind to yourself today. Hugs to you.

    xo,
    Amber

  3. When I woke up this morning (well, okay at noon), my first thoughts were of you and what you found out.

    I'm SO sorry, Amy. I know how long you have dreamed of this. Call me today if you need to talk. I wish I was closer to you. We could get desserts and vent about it.
