Can I get a break - please?

Once a-freakin-gain I'm waiting for AF to arrive. We can't start working toward the FET until she does - so of course, she's not showing up. I swear my body is so out of whack from all the injections over the past two years, plus the fact that I'm getting older by the minute, but this sucks. Even though I don't have a lot of hope for this FET, I would like to get on with it so I know one way or the other if its going to work. But, of course, my body is choosing not to cooperate once again. I'm wondering if you even need AF to arrive before starting prep for the FET. I mean if she's not going to show up, does it really matter? Last time that I was waiting for AF to show up so I could start my DE cycle, I ended up doing a PIO injection to summon her arrival. That was after waiting more than 44-45 days. Right now I'm on day 32, so not super late, but I used to be 28 days like clockwork - back before I started injecting myself on a regular basis. So, I guess I'll wait a few more days before calling the nurse to see if I can just do the PIO shot to get things started or if we just have to keep waiting....

I would call. Why should you drive yourself crazy?! They will probably say to wait a while, but hopefully you can pin them down to something - like one more week and then you get the shot. At least you will know then.
Good luck - hope your reluctant guest shows up today!
PS - thought you'd appreciate knowing the word verification for this comment was "angst"!

Hi there,

Long time lurker, now delurking.
I have been reading your blog for quite a while, and I am absolutely heartbroken by your ordeal. How much heartbreak you can take and what exactly is the cosmic point in your suffering like this, I just cannot understand.

I think you should call the clinic, they can either tell you yes, here is the shot, or no, wait. Either way, at least you know and don't have to wait some more until you know.

In case you want to check my blog, as curiosity might nudge you to, please know that I am currently 12 weeks pg, and I am not an IFfer, I belong to the Loss Club, after I have lost a pregnancy last June. I know perfectly well how it is to read pg blogs when you are not pg, everything is tedious and just plain annoying, and my blog is rather annoying this way, because things are looking up this time (until now and from now on, I hope). So please, be warned.

I will continue reading you and root for you and hope and pray that you get your heart's desire.

Truly, from the bottom of my heart, wish that this FET brings you the baby you deserve. There are a lot of gals for whom FET proved to be successful, even though fresh IVF was bust. I truly hope you are one of them.

Thinking dearly of you,

Mina

I hope she shows up soon!
Did you ever consider the uterine biopsies to help with implantation? There really are some good studies showing up now...I just suggest it since I saw your post below about not finding anything else wrong. I don't think it could hurt--well, THEY hurt themselves--but that's about par for the course, eh?

Wishing you tons of luck!
