Comment on Am I done? by Lorraine

Day 38???? Something is definitely amiss – I hope you can figure out what is going on. Maybe it is time to be done, but if so it would be nice to know you are making that decision based on real facts and not just a badly timed cycle.

Still, I hope this month just happens to be the one that works!

Hope it’s going well – that “almost done” feeling can come and go, but in the middle of a cycle some kind of optimism usually manages to seep in around the edges. Hope the cycle is off to a good start!

Comment on Never underestimate the effect of hormones by Lorraine

It can be hard to gear up for what seems like another attempt at failure, but the threat of lost funding can be hard to ignore. I’m sure you’ve researched the poor-responder protocols, and I haven’t read enough of your story to even know much about your specifics, but us oldies do have to insist on some fairly heavy-duty regimes.

But your ovary is probably thrilled to be left alone with it’s one egg this month – nice to get a break from the hormone craziness, too!

Comment on A picture speaks a thousand words – 7dp3dt by Lorraine

I know how that stark white space on a pee stick can make you feel – and I’m sorry you’re feeling that way. It’s hard even if it is what you were expecting.

At least the diet should be more predictable – I always feel that one of the only benefits to not being pregnant is to be svelte. Maybe a small consolation, but better than none?

Hi Lorraine. There is a slight line in the top one as it’s the 2dp3dt test. I should have labeled them in chronological order. 4dp4dt is the last – plainly stark white – test

It ALMOST looks as if there is a little bit of a second line on that top one – hard to tell on a computer, though.

Hope to see something a little more definite next time!

One is better than none, right? And if it is THE ONE, then it’s all you need. Lots of good wishes to you!

6 is good! Enough so that there can be a few duds and you still have something to work with, which I guess is the point.

I wish you good percentages! And your lining will keep thickening a bit, so don’t worry too much about that yet.

Good luck!
