the frantic (in)fertility odyssey of a woman of 47 to get knocked up

9DP3DT IVF9: Screw this cycle

So, I had some rather intense cramps on Sunday night which progressed into Monday. I went to work that day, cramped all day long at my desk, and decided to take the train home that evening, which sucked, as the train broke down, it took 40 minutes to fix, and then I had to walk [...]

6DP3DT: Testing out my HCG

Yesterday’s HPT showed the last trace of my bHCG trigger from 9 days ago. And, today? Today was the first day of a snow white HPT. 6 days after transfer. Now the fun begins. Two days ago I wrote that I felt nothing. That was until last night. I had some great cramps last night [...]

Snow White

HPT was pure white today, just like it was two days ago. When I lay yesterday’s and today’s HPTs next to each other it’s pretty damned clear that the HPT from yesterday picked up something yesterday (pink, not gray, so it’s not an evap line). I wonder if morning urine being slightly tainted with PIO [...]

Evaporation Lines and HPT Mirages

Today I am at 9 days past a 3 day transfer. Yesterday’s HPT was as white as snow. I looked at it in bright light to triple check that the trigger was gone….and nothing there. Not even an evaporation line. Today’s? Well, I’m not quite sure. I’m wondering if I stuck the stick too deeply [...]

6DT3DT: Trigger Gone & Thoughts on Co-Q10

Today was the first day that my HPTs showed absolutely nothing in the test area, meaning that my level of b-HCG is finally below the 20mIU threshold. So now the real testing can begin. My beta is on June 1, thirteen days after transfer. A full week from today. It seems like a long wait. [...]

4DT5DT

Another snow day…woke up to a veritable winter wonderland outside of our apartment. I love how the snow envelops the sounds of the city and everything is quiet. For once. I sleep so good when it snows because the sound of the light rail at the end of our block is muffled. *bliss* I’m not [...]

3DP5DT: Snow Day

We’ve got big snow here today. It just keeps falling out of the sky. 4-8″ due this afternoon and another 5-9″ this evening. If I weren’t in my 2WW I’d grab my board and go board in the park until someone stopped me. :-) My two cats are interested in the snow but have no [...]

2DT5DT: Yes, I’m POAS!

It’s only 2 days since transfer but I peed on a couple sticks today to see if my trigger is all gone. First Response can’t see a thing (25mIU) and my new ones from WondFo (20mIU) have a very very very light line, might be a evaporation line – who knows. So the trigger is [...]
