SIS and BC
I had another SIS done yesterday. This time was less painful and I didn't have any cramping afterwards. My poor uterus has been through so much! Got the all clear to start another FET. I need to be on birth control pills for 10 days and transfer will be on 7/21/17....a month away. More waiting.

New cycle and starting over... again.
It took 4 weeks and 4 days for my period to return. I started spotting a few days before, but woke up Sunday to the start of fresh blood and a fresh start. Women trying to conceive always have dichotomous emotions when there period returns: disappointment or excitement. I am excited my cycle returned on it's own and I didn't need additional time waiting or more protocols due to it's absence.
I'll need to wait another week when my lining is thin enough to do another saline infused sonogram (SIS) and then can start the 3 week FET process. I am hoping that the old saying, "Third time's a charm" will be true for us.
June also marks 6 months that I have been under the care of reproductive endocrinologist. Every week, sometimes twice a week, I have made the trip to the clinic for bloodwork or both bloodwork and a ultrasound.
Six long months of hoping and waiting.

One month post loss
It's been a month today since I heard there were no heartbeats. Monday is always such an emotional day. I go tomorrow for bloodwork and hope all HCG is gone. Last Tuesday it was at 37.
I bought so much baby stuff and it's all behind a closed door in the room that will hopefully be the nursery. It pains me to think that it will never get used and need to be returned. Or what if we have a boy and all that wonderful girl stuff won't get used.
Nick hurt my feelings yesterday. We were discussing transferring one or two the next time and I started to tear up as I mentioned I wanted back what we lost. He told me that I needed to get over my sadness and move on. It felt cruel and inconsiderate. I've been seething over his words all day today. Yes, we both lost something, but I lived it. I went through it. I feel I am stronger than most and I allowed myself time to grieve, but why am I not allowed to feel sad for what could have been?
