• 1/26/10 - Fucking universe. BFN.


• 12/27/09 - FET #2 begins. Started del.estrogen and waiting for transfer on 1/14/10. The universe better behave this time.

• 10/13/00 - FET #1 take 2. Transferred two beautiful blasts. Negative. WTF?


• 9/20/09 - Begin FET #1. FET cancelled on 9/28 because I ovulated while on del.estrogen. Lucky me.


• 8/9/09 - Second ultrasound shows no heartbeat at 7w2d. Take misoprostol to force miscarry. Had the week from hell. Finally miscarried 8/14/09.


• 8/6/09 - No heartbeat. 30% chance of viability. Recheck on 8/9/09. Not feeling good about this. :-(
