Our New Dartboard

The deed is done, I nearly wet myself - TWICE - and I managed not to pee on anyone... which as I hear from the good doc, is actually a feat in itself (she's been peed on a NUMBER of times).

So other than the near WETTING myself incidents, and the comment Nurse Janice seemed quite SADDENED by ("Damn, yea, that's me. I was kinda hoping in the move you guys woulda screwed up and given me someone ELSE'S eggs, you know, so they'd WORK this time?"), there's not a lot to tell.

Well, I guess there's a little to tell. Seems my clinic has finally taken to handing out photos. Not of my EMBRYOS, but of my GUT, you know, with the embryos IN it. The good doc called it our "first family portrait", which of course got the husband and I all THINKING and shit, about how it really COULD be our first family portrait... or our new dartboard... depends how this goes.

Wishing and hoping you can put those darts away.

Samantha said...

Good luck with this cycle - I hope it won't be a dart board.

Denise said...

I hope you need to go buy a REAL dart board in about two weeks or so because you've already framed that first family portrait. Good luck, Chicklet. You deserve for this to work.

Heidi said...

Good luck!

Lori said...

You'd better not trade me in for a newer, droolier model.

Well, I guess if you have to.

Sending a sprinkling of dust. You know, The Kind That Shan't Be Named.

All I can say is good luck Chicklet. And mate, I am so glad I live in a country where the threat of pissing on one's doctor is not a factor in a transfer.....

I for one am hoping and praying that you put that pic in an album and don't end up using it as a dartboard!!

Christy said...

I'm so glad to know that you didn't pee on anyone. That makes you all the much cooler.

Hoping, Hoping, Hoping.

(It's early - I almost posted "hopping, hopping, hopping")

JamieD said...

A family portrait . . . wouldn't have thought about it that way!

I hope it goes in a frame and not a dartboard . . .

oh the holding of the bladder...I am actually glad that some of these RE"s get pissed on but that is only because the holding of pee is pure hell.

SO effing hopeful for you.

Heya :) I saw this the other day, but hadn't had the time to come and actually comment. So a big "good luck" to you and hoping it's not a dartboard. I think FETs are luckier due to the 'bad ones' are weeded out due to the thaw/freeze. Anything not great can't survive that. So here's to it. Are you going to wait until beta again? or will you poas?

Nancy, I never POAS. I'm too deathly afraid of them. Will be waiting a damn long wait.
