Saturday, May 22nd, 2004No more blood tests. Embies to be thawed on Tuesday for transfer Friday if one makes it.

Sunday, May 2nd, 2004CD 34 no hormonal alchemy in the boobs etc to let me know that AF is on her way. Unless my shitty mood counts.

Saturday, March 20th, 2004I used to think the ‘traditional’ 2ww was bad…. Ha! It is NOTHING like this. Emotionally I feel like I am pregnant, I saw little embie, embie is now in my uterus right? Which means that a BFN next week will be that much harder. Tomorrow is my birthday. Embie should be implanting around now. [...]
