Evil Uterus
Okay. I will admit it. There are a few rogue brain cells in my head desperately hoping that I am pregnant, but they're overcome by the majority that keep first "stand-alone" period since then. All those drugs really must fuck our systems up for a while, but for how long? I wonder, how long does it take for ones cycwhispering back to them, "Hey moron. Don't you get it? Blocked tubes!! Blocked tubes!!..."
This is my second "bleed" since my 1st IVF failure, so I guess this is my le to get back "to normal" after an IVF cycle?? I don't want to drive myself batty each month thinking, "Hmmm....maybe I am pregnant" only to be met with inevitable, predictable disappointment each month.
I am betting that by the time I click "Publish Post" that AF will have arrived. That is how periods work. They are mysteriosly tied to our brains.
Wait. So does that mean I shouldn't click "Publish Post"?

Linda,
I am extremely regular with my cycles and every single one of my periods (after the first neg-beta bleed) were 10 days late.
I went to lunch with a fellow infertile the other day, and hers was also 10 days late. It is very common for your body to do that while it gets back in sync.
I just wish someone had told me after my first one, TEN DAYS! it was cruel punishment...I kept taking HPTs, never that late before, went to the doctor for a blood test even!
I thought I was getting a miracle.
I hope you do, and I don't mean to rain on your parade, just thought you should know.
Good luck with everything.
Julianna, thank you for writing to tell me this - by day 4 or 5 I would be running off for a beta too! I wonder why Dr. Z didn't bother to mention this?
A miracle would be quite nice right about now! :-) Hopefully you'll be getting yours very very soon!
