Tumblr: Photo Quotes

You all know what "Photo Quotes" are right? I am sure you have all seen them while wandering the web, on Facebook, etc... but you just might not realize what I am talking about. Well, I have been obsessed with these things lately for some reason and I have just started putting a collection of them up on Tumblr. So far they are only ones I have "borrowed" from others but I may start making some of my own in the future as well.

If you are interested, you can find them here.

Round 1 (IVF/IUI): Over...

Did my blood test this morning and I just got the call from the nurse. No surprises... negative as expected. So, just to summarize everything up to date:

IUI #1 March 2010: Clomid – Cancelled

IUI #2 April 2010: Clomid – Cancelled

IUI #3 May 2010: Gonal-F – Cancelled

IVM #1 November 2010: Cancelled before starting (cyst)

IVM #2 December 2010: Repronex etc… - 4 embryos, 2 transferred and 2 frozen, Negative (BFN)

IVM #2 March 2011: 2 frozen embryos transferred, BFN

IVF #1 February 2012: Repronex etc…, converted to IUI #4, BFN

I will be meeting with my doctor soon and we will go over the medications I have been using, what I will use the next time, and anything else that needs to be discussed. I believe the next round will also be scheduled but from what I understand there is a LONG list ahead of me so who knows when it will happen...

Round 1 IVF - IVF + IUI = ?

The months leading up to this last round of treatment, as well as the cycle itself, were so frustrating that I just can’t help feeling really “detached” from it all now. I just want this round to be OVER so I can move on with life, whatever that entails.

Yes, I did POAS 10dpiui but it was mainly to be sure that all of my injections were out of my system and not potentially going to give me a false positive later on if I tested again. And now that it is later? I have no urge to test again. I don’t care all of a sudden. Everything I have felt has been a symptom and every symptom could be nothing because of the hormones I am taking right now so I am not reading into anything this time around. Whatever happens, happens, and if I really had a say in the matter then I wouldn’t be doing all of this to begin with so clearly what I WANT doesn’t really change anything!

So that’s where I’m at now, 12dpiui and I have basically lost interest for now. Whether I test on my own again or not does still remain to be seen, but after my beta test next week I will know for sure and we will see where things lead from there!

And, just so you are all aware… I may or may not post the results right away (or at all). We might be away for a couple of days after the test and I will see about posting them after we get back… maybe.

The 2WW: Restraint Is Fading

GAH! I am now 9dpiui and I promised myself that I would not POAS (look it up) before my scheduled blood test but I really want to and I have three tests at home calling my name out every morning!

The thing is, I know I shouldn’t even bother until I am at least 12dpiui because it is too early and one of my injections may still give me a false positive at this point… but restraint is definitely fading fast! I even have a plan in mind already to test on 10, 12 and 14 LOL. Maybe I can hold off until 12 at least… maybe!
