No energy to think of a catchier title. Test at home was negative. Message from nurse just confirmed. WTF appointment in 3 weeks.
Sitting outside away from my desk for a few minutes to make some phone calls. Watching the rain fall. Seems fitting.
Much more to say later. But for now, I thank you all more than I can say for all the support.
Any ideas on how to improve egg quality??

I am so, so very sorry to read this. I hope you get some answers at your WTF appointment. I have heard that acupuncture can help...
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry!
ReplyDeleteThis just plain sucks!!! I'm so sorry...I hope you get some answers at your WTF appointment. Egg quality? I know my acupuncturist said he has some techniques and diet changes that are supposed to help...Dr Randine Davis has a book on traditional Chinese medicine and changing your fertility. My acupuncturist works with her and swears by her book!
ReplyDeleteSending hugs....and keeping you in my thoughts!
Oh Jen, I'm so sorry for you... so very, very sorry. I heard the same news exactly one month ago, and there are no words that can be put to it.
ReplyDeleteWhat helped me was to go on dates with my husband and reconnect with him... lots of dates. We talked more than we have in a long time, and I opened up to him completely with how I was feeling about the process, about the future, and about our marriage.
If anything good came from our negative, it's that the time we spent trying to heal together from it also made our marriage even stronger. We are now starting to laugh more together and are more careful with one another in many ways, because we've seen from losing the fragile lives we tried to nourish as parts of us how much we love one another and mean to one another.
Take time to take care of yourself. This is not your fault... life is a fragile thing.
In terms of egg quality, that was a huge issue for us. Your quality was much better than mine, so I have a lot of hope for you. I am sure that when you meet with your RE, they will recommend a revised protocol if they are concerned about your quality. Sometimes it just takes a few times. One blogger I have been following just became pregnant from her third IVF, and she didn't have an incredibly promising response along the way. For us, they're doing what's called an estrace prime protocol when we start back up next month. I was in acupuncture all through my IVF cycle, so I can't say whether that really helps or not.
Take care of yourself... I hope these weeks give you some time to recuperate from such an exhausting several weeks. Sending many thoughts and much love your way...
Jen I am so sorry. There are no words, but I hope you know I am thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteOh no...I am so sorry to hear this. I hope the WTF appointment gives you some answers. Thinking of you! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteI am speechless and so very sorry. This is the worst fear of every infertile undergoing treatment. I wish I could do something or say something...

I am so sorry. That really, really sucks! I will be thinking about you. Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteOh shit, I was really thinking this was going to do the trick for you. I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteJen I am so sorry. I hope you find a way to be kind to yourself and hope you have a chance to hold everyone who is dear to you very very close. Words will never be enough, but know that we are all out here sending you our support. Deep breaths . . .
ReplyDeleteJen - I've been thinking about you all day hoping for different results. It's been a bad week for both of us.
ReplyDeleteUnfortuantly, you could have the best eggs in the world...and it still wouldn't matter.
I can attest.
Take care yourself and take it one day/step at a time.
I've been staring at an empty comment box for awhile because I'm just so, so sorry and wish I knew what else to say. Thinking of you and sending a big virtual hug!
ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry Jen....I know words can't make this better, but if you need to vent, an ear to listen to, or a little lift email me. anglmoira@mac.com.
ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry :(
So sorry Jen. I truly thought things would turn out differently just based on everything you were saying and how well everything seemed to be going. Wishing you lots of love and comfort. I hope you get some answers at your meeting with the RE.
