I once had a well laid plan for my life. Included in that plan was children. About 8 or 9 years ago I attended a charity event where there was a psychic medium. This medium told me how I would have 3 children. I would have a boy, then a girl and then another boy. I always believed this. I always thought this WOULD happen. It's not that I full heartedly believe in psychics, but I believed this one. This journey has squashed this dream and my plan.
The day after my last entry, I received a call that I would be doing a trasnfer the next day. This means it would be a day 3 trasfer (3dt). I later found out that of the 5 fertilized eggs, there were only 4 remaining. I cried when I received this phone call. From the beginning, I thought I would have a lot of eggs, have a 5dt and have a lot of frosties. We went to the clinic for transfer and found out that we had 3 remaining and 2 had been frozen. I was shocked...first I didn't realize they would freeze on day 3 and second due to the poor and declining numbers, I wasn't expecting any to be frozen. So we trasnsferred one and we were very hopeful.
I tested out the HCG trigger shot and thought it was out by day 5 after transfer. On day 6, I took a test and got a faint line! I was ecstatic. I couldn't believe it worked. I was so anxious to get up the next morning and see a darker line. I had 2 dreams that I got my positive HPT. I went and took a test when I woke up.....no second line...NONE. I thought to myself that it was early and my levels could fluctuate. By the next morning it would surely be positive. Yet the next day brought another stark white test. 2 days later...the same. It's looking like it didn't work. There's always the slightest chance that I will get a positive beta on Monday, but I feel foolish for even considering it a possibility.
I feel blessed to have the frozen embies, but the financial burden is a lot and the emotional burden is unbearable. At this point, I just want to get my beta done so that I can stop the progesterone and get AF since continuing the meds feels like a mind f*ck.
Today is the EDD for our second pregnancy. The pregnancy that I thought was meant to be and could not go wrong. I'm not one to get overly emotional about EDD's. The month of June is a hard one though and is only getting harder. Let's review the dates....6/2 EDD, 6/4 will be my BFN beta, 6/12 was when we got our very first BFP last year, 6/21 was the day we found our babies heartbeat in my tube and had emergency surgery. Yea...that's a whole bunch of suckiness.
So now I question my life's plan. What will come of it? Will we have even 1 child? How will I handle this? Will I let it ruin me? Will it ruin my friendships? Could it hurt my marriage?
I'm so sorry this cycle didn't work for you. IF is so unforgiving and so unfair. Remembering you and your angels today.
