Still No Period

After doing a bit of research on-line, it does look like an irregular cycle following an unsuccessful IVF cycle is to be expected. So, I'm really not holding onto too much hope. I guess it's just a waiting game now.

To answer most of your guys' question of if I'm going to test. My plan was to wait until Friday. But, now knowing what I know about wacky late cycles following IVF, I might not test at all. Why waste the $15, ya know?

I know what you are all thinking...why put myself through that torture? LOL!!! I'm sure if I had a test lying around, I would've already peed on a stick already. So, I guess we'll see. :)

Just know I appreciate all your guys' support. And be it a late cycle or a pregnancy, I'm okay with either result. Of course, a little piece of my heart breaks with every BFN, but the fact that I have three frosties waiting for me will make this possible BFN easier to accept.

Now, onto other news...I got not one, but two fabulous blog awards today!!! I feel so special!

The first award is from Random Thoughts from Angie. Angie went through IVF late last year, which resulted in a pregnancy, but soon after her BFP, she miscarried. She's gearing up for a FET the earlier part of this year and I'm so excited for her! Yay! :)


The second award is from Crossing My Fingers, But Not My Legs (which is, by far, one of the best infertility blog titles I've come across!). She found out a couple days before I did that her IVF cycle failed.  In fact, I had just come across her blog shortly before she found out. It's always nice to have a companion walking the same path at the same time, who can truly relate to the raw emotions being felt after finding out there's no baby. She, also, will be going through FET sometime this year, but likely not as soon as me. Of course, I'm praying she's blessed with a pregnancy this year! :)


I think for each award I'm supposed to write seven random facts about myself and then forward the award onto other blogs, but I'm going to save that for another day. Right now, I'm going to cuddle on the couch and enjoy me some American Idol! :)

Anybody else an American Idol fan out there?

Could I be pregnant? Nah!!!

I'm on CD (cycle day) 32. That may not seem like a big deal, but my cycles are like clockwork, ranging from 28 to 29 days. No joke! I'm one of those very luck women with very predictable cycles. So, my tardiness leaves me a bit confused.

I noticed I ovulated on CD 12 this cycle, as opposed to the typical CD 14. So, technically, if I had ovulated "on time," I'd only be a couple days late right now, but I'm almost completely positive I ovulated two days early, and despite being told that we will likely never conceive on our own, Aaron and I can't help but try. When you want something so bad, you're willing to try the impossible.

So, we...you know...had timed intercourse.

Which then leads me to the question in my title. Could I possibly be pregnant???

All those drugs I had in my system the last two months could easily mess with my system. I know that. My doctor didn't warn me about having a wacky cycle following my unsuccessful IVF cycle, but I'm assuming that is what's going on here.

So, I'm hoping some women who have gone through a failed IVF cycle can relay their experience to me. Did you have an unpredictable cycle following IVF? Am I completely absurd to even consider the possibility (albeit, the size of a wart on a flea's face) that I'm pregnant? :)

I guess I always have hope. Even when I shouldn't.
