That Stupid Fertility Doll Is Giving Me The Finger

It leers at me whenever I enter the spare room. It was a gift from the donor co-ord. in SA and I appreciate the thought but I could cheerfully chuck it in the bin. It is like a black female version of Chucky. Where are my pins??

12dp3dt and the HPTs are snowy, luminous white where the second line should be. Even the cheapie Dollar Tree tests are declining to give me evap lines any more. I splashed out last night on the good stuff...the FRER and the Clear Blue Early. Pffft. Should have saved that money.

Nothing much else to say right now, other than it makes me want to vomit at the thought of the cost of this negative cycle. I keep telling myself that I had a wondrous holiday and it was worth it to have an opportunity to cycle where normally hope is non-existent but it is not consoling me right now.

Mr P is being his usual optimistic ray of sunshine self and telling me how I did not get a positive HPT until 14dp2dt last time. I restrain myself from garroting him and simply remind him in a snarling sarcastic tone of the great outcome that cycle had last time. Accompanied by much rolling of the eyes.

And please for the love of all that is holy, do not tell me to wait for the beta as THERE ARE NO BETAS HERE!!!!!

There is only me, alone, locked gibbering in a room with crappy HPTs.

Well, move over and make room for me.

So sorry, P. I hope you don't have to beat Mr. P too hard over the head w/the doll.

This is awful! I have been following your story for a while and thought because of the agony and trials you have been through this would work for you. Its heartbreaking and I feel for you.

Oh. P. I'm going to annoyingly stay in the Mr. P camp with him. But I do agree, this sucks and wish you were seeing definitive lines all over the place. I'm sorry.

Much empathy, take care.

Crap on a brick! I wanted you to so much catch a break. I'm not going to say the "s" word, but you know I'm feeling you.

Well, crap. I was so hoping for you. I won't lie, I'm still holding out hope a little. But still, I feel for you. Glad you had a lovely holiday at least.

I've been following your blog for a while. I am so sorry you did not get pregnant. I understand the disappointment and frustration you feel about traveling so far and paying so much to have your heart broken.

I am also 40 and have traveled from the US to Czech Republic twice for ivf with donor eggs. All I got for all my time, trouble, and money was a broken heart over an ectopic pregnancy. Life is so unfair. I will keep you in my prayers.

I'm still going to hope and pray that something is going on in there and it's just taking it's time. I know the stats aren't great at this point, but damn...

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!! This is really craptastic.

Like Flicka, I would be lying if I said I wasn't still holding out a weensy bit of hope for this cycle.

So I think it's time to start saving up for a trip to California. You know where to find me, my dear.

Ah this is just bollocks really. It just goes on and on being bollocks, and I'm sure that bloody doll is appearing in your dreams at this point.

Someone, somewhere, needs to tell me where all the good karma went.

Oh, how i wish it were different. As I'm sure you do even more. I am so sorry!

I hoped you would be pregnant, and I'm so sorry that the signs are not good. I feel like swearing too. F*********. What an arse. What an arsing F******.
Please look after yourself.
I'm so sorry.

Oh dear P, I'm just catching up and saw this. Fuck. I am so sorry. What a horrible ending to a beautiful trip.

My thoughts are with you and Mr. P.
