Confused:

I’m not pregnant. No good way to write it. I took a test this morning and it was negative. The progesterone certainly did a good job with making me feel like I could be though. I have two pills left so I’ll finish them out and hopefully get AF. I’ve got some decisions to make about the next cycle and I’m struggling with what to do.

Meds or no meds? I don’t want to do this anymore but I know it will give us the best chance of conceiving. The problem is that we’re moving in 6 weeks. If I did happen to get pregnant next cycle, I wouldn’t be able to be monitored and that to me is the biggest reason to use an RE. Chances are that it won’t matter, but I still think about it. After we move, the closest RE will be 100 miles away. 100! I should probably get in as many cycles as I can here before I get stuck with that drive. I’m just not sure what to do.

We are now deciding between donor eggs or donor embryos or doing IVF again once we move. All of those options have pros and cons and the decision will not be made lightly but what we’re doing isn’t working. I wish that I could get pregnant like they do in the movies or on a soap opera. Have sex, get pregnant. What a concept!

I take great comfort in these verses: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yolk upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matt 11: 28-29.

Thank you again to all who follow this blog!!! Your encouragement has kept me going!
