The Curse of the Stick

Last night, something switched in me, and I needed to KNOW. Positive? Negative? Just need it OVER with. My stupid clinic waits SEVENTEEN days post-transfer to do a beta and that's just WAY too long.

So this morning, I gave IN to the dreaded stick, and peed. Result? Negative of course.

With the transfer having been on the 28th, today's far and away enough time for the pee stick to be right. I will of course do the dutiful wait to be one HUNDRED percent sure, instead of 99.9999999% sure, but yea, apparently, NOT in the cards for us.

The weirdest part? No tears at all yet. And it's not like I'm SURPRISED it's negative, just more surprised that this is us.

Part of me wants to send I'm sorries and lots of hugs... Part of me wants to scream from the fucking rafters what a bullshit injustice this is.

You pick, and let me know, k?

The upside? As much sangria you want for the rest of the summer.

I know that's lame. Wishing desperately for a magic wand.

Supporting you in whatever emotions come...and go.

I hate, hate, hate that your cycle didn't work. We were so close together this cycle that I had hoped we would both get KU'd and maybe be able to enjoy some of the experiences together. This sucks so damn bad!!!

Carrie said...

What the fuck is wrong with this world?!
It just isn't right. I am sooooo hoping it is still too early but I'm still sorry you're going through this again.

And the lack of tears. I know that one too. That really is sad, it should never get like this.

Anything I can do for you my friend, let me know, I'll be on it in an instant.

Ditto what everyone else has said. I can't think of anything at all to say because it all sounds so lame in my head.

Fark! So sorry to hear that the fricking pee stick showed negative... Fark, fark, fark!!!

Jaymee said...

pee sticks should just get up and deposit themselves into the trash, so we never have to see the negative.

so sorry. :huge hugs:
