The Day After

Yesterday Adam and I headed home from our two days in Toronto....ten hours later and many, many laughs, we arrived. Ten hours...well...we did take the long scenic route home and I am so glad we did!


We decided Saturday morning that we were going to take a detour and head down through Prince Edward County as we've driven by the exit a million times and just never took the time to go. You see....we had nowhere to be and it was a beautiful day...why not? 


The countryside is beautiful, the winery's are stunning and the farm stands were amazing...


We drove as far south as we could and found ourselves at a place called "Point Petre". The road stopped and we walked the last few yards on a little trail and this is what we found...


Point Petre - looking out at Lake Ontario


We took the long loop around and decided to take the ferry at Glenora...



We pulled into the driveway sometime after 9 pm feeling happy and relaxed. I couldn't have thought of a better way to spend the time after our embryo transfer. Happy and relaxed is where I need to be to keep those two little embryos happy and content and that is just where I found myself.

Keeping Secrets

I've been keeping a secret. I'm not even going to make you wait. I'm just going to come out and say it. I really don't like when people say, "Hey, I have news" and then ramble on for fifteen minutes about how they didn't know how to tell you, and would you like the good news or the bad news first. I mean, if you don't know how to tell me, then maybe you should have thought about it a little bit more before you brought it up, because now I'm just sitting here waiting while you find the perfect words to share news that...let's be honest...probably doesn't impact me in the slightest. And as for the good news/bad news question? What do you think? If you're really asking, I'd rather not hear the bad news at all. Because who wants to hear bad news? Unless it's just "bad" relative to the good news, but not really all that bad in its own right, well then I guess I wouldn't mind hearing it. And I might like to hear it first

Unexpected?

Just got the call that I had been fearing but perhaps was expecting. The embryos were not there. We have nothing. Heartbroken doesn't begin to describe how I am feeling.

Dilemma

Image
I’m having a bit of a dilemma. Which is putting it mildly. I am not sure whether to shut the factory down for good, or keep it chugging along in its pitiful, yet marginally functioning state. If things were normal, if *I* was normal (cue hysterical laughter here), then I might be happy to let things chug along as they were and see what happens. But things (my body and I) are far from normal and so I feel like I need to make a decision either way. Which really sucks and makes me feel a renewed sense of frustration, irritation and mourning for the sorry state of affairs of my reproductive bits. We recently had an appointment with our RE to discuss our options and see where we stand. It was great to touch base with Dr. L but as expected, nothing has really changed. My fertility has been on a fairly rapid decline and there's not much we can do to change that (FSH last tested at 20). It was good to hear that my tubes are open and that my uterus appears to be in good shape but despit
