Update

Sorry I've been MIA. Right after getting into summer break I ended up going out of town where I had limited internet access.

Currently I'm in a natural 2ww, but really just waiting for AF to come so we can get this ball rolling again. That's right...after that nightmarish cycle that just ended I'm ready to go back for more! Isn't it funny how soon you forget when your eyes are on the prize. Plus, since Mr. Baggs and I are off of work until the latter part of August we figured now is a good time to go for it. Less stress and more time to drive the 2 1/2 hours  (one-way) to the clinic back and forth! Woohooo!

Depending on when AF comes, which I'm expecting in the next few days, I'll go down for my baseline and start BCP's. I'm kind of excited about this since now I've been through it and know (for the most part) what to expect. The PA I was working closely with also commented that my body was definitely "turned on" so that's a good thing!

I'm just hoping the timing works out well so I can get my baseline before I head off to the east coast! I'll be heading out there for five days to hook up with some lovely women I met on Fertile Thoughts. We've been in contact and close for the last two years and I couldn't have gotten through these last two years without them. Can't wait to see them!

I'll keep you posted as to when I get my baseline. Hope you all are well out there! I'll be visiting soon...

A friend in need...

Hey,

My friend Maria over at http://missionfertilesoul.blogspot.com/ just found out she had a chemical pg with an FET. If you're not already following her please give her some support. She's a wonderfully supportive friend and an awesome blogger!

Thanks....

It's finally over

Sorry it's been so long since I posted. I work in the school system and we just got done for the summer.....yippeee!!! The two weeks before that was nutso, hence the lack of posting.

In the mean time however....I did my last two blood tests which finally yielded and HCG reading of 0.6. As of 6/7 this cycle was finally over, finis, done...ended. Although I've been waiting for this day so I can move on from this nightmare of a cycle, I had mixed feelings about it. It finally meant the whatever was left of the embryo(s) was officially gone. Our babies who had started off as something, turned into nothing. They just took a really long time to get there. Relief overruled the emotions, but a fair amount of sadness was there too.

I had a good cry and finally felt the door close on this long chapter. Now on to the next phase....but in the mean time we're going to enjoy some time with each other and let my body get back to normal (whatever that is :) ) Thanks again for all your words of support and encouragement... xo,Cherm

Finally, Justice!

Check this out!

Finally this a** of a Dr. is getting justice. I got WAY to many comments from ignorant people asking me if I was going to be like the "octomom". It was very hurtful and irritating to say least. Any of you out there have to endure comments like that through your journey?

P.S. Last Beta was at 61 and getting another tomorrow. Hopefully it will be less that half and I will only have to do two more tests including tomorrow.
