I'm 37 years old and have come to learn (much to my chagrin) that babymaking isn't quite as easy as my Grade 6 health teacher made it out to be. Since we're all more than just infertility, I'm also a lover of my husband, my family including an amazing niece and nephew, all things musical theatre (except Wicked...sorry), and discovering - whether that be a great restaurant, a new wine, or a new friend.Just checking in to say I’m still around. Things have been quiet as I’m mostly concerned with (1) hating my job…see previous post, (2) counting the days until we head to the beach (3 more including today), and (3) taking a hiatus from cycling.

Apologies in advance for the rambling/ranting nature of this post. We are heartbroken. From start to finish, this time was so much harder than the first.

Tommorrow is my beta. In a previous post, I talked about the fact that I intended to pre-test in order to prepare; however, that is not to be for two very good reasons: I have no more HPT’s It is really really cold outside, and I don’t want to go out of my warm house [...]
