So another negative test to add to the millions we already have seen! I already knew it was negative since I took a test yesterday, but I still got the blood test today just in case. You always hold on to that glimmer of hope for that false negative. I was bummed yesterday, but not today since I already knew the outcome. It was a lot easier seeing it alone and knowing ahead of time instead of getting the call at work and retreating to the bathroom for twenty minutes.
I talked with Abby, my Nurse Practitioner that I see every time I go, about 15 minutes ago. She called to break the news. She said she wants to try one more time with the same medication and up the dosage again. She will start me on day three of my cycle instead of day five and keep me on it for longer than five days. Our goal is to produce more than one mature follicle. I am crossing my fingers for this fourth try because the next step would be injections.
I am trying to be patient, but it's hard seeing the months go by...oh well I'll just have to keep a smile on my face and keep on trying! =) I am so thankful to have such an amazing, supportive man at my side through all of this! xoxo
Emily & Josh,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear the news. It's so great that you guys are keeping a good attitude, I don't know if I could if I were in your situation. I'm glad to hear that Abby seems to know what's best. I'm really hoping and praying the next one works so you won't have to go through the injections. However, as difficult as this has been I know you won't give up and I'm proud of you for your persistance. Maybe baby is waiting until you have a place for a nursery! ;)
My love to you and Josh. - Mom
You guys amaze me. The strength and love you both have had through this experience is truly amazing. Baby Germano will be one loved and lucky kiddo when he/she gets here!
ReplyDeleteLove you both!
