I’ve just spent the last few hours reading blogs of other women listed on Cycle Sistas, who were on IVF #1. Took an informal poll of how many were successful on their first try. The majority were successful. I just can’t help but wonder, will we be the exception or the rule. Our clinic’s success rate is 59.1 % (live birth) per transfer. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please , please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, make this work, God!

My ovaries are GROWLING.
My ovaries are growling. The “girls” have started voicing their concern regarding their currently bloated state and short term forecast. They growl constantly, reminding me that they are performing an extraordinary task worthy of some reward. Little do they know what that reward will be. Soon I’ll have a conversation with them explaining that once their developed the requested follicles they’ll be pierced and emptied and then they are free to sulk for 9 months and in the mean time, they’ll just need to get over it. I’m trying to help them out the best I can, sleeping at every available opportunity. What more could they ask for?

Shots. The Baker has made drastic improvement over day 2 but has never really gotten back to his day 1 glory. I’m encouraging him to further develop his injection skills so that he can get a second job as an RN if we have to pay to do this all over again!

For those of you are on your own bun quest, you will know exactly what these numbers mean. For those of you who aren’t, I’m told these numbers are “great.”
