Right now I'm sitting in a hotel room trying to work while IM is going to a conference at the hotel. You see, I came with her on this business trip so that I could give her shots in the mornings since we are still in the 2WW and she has to have delestrogen (every third day) and progesterone-in-oil (every day). So...about $300 to make her life a lot easier. She's not the type that can give herself shots. These are hard-core intermuscular shots with big needles, so I don't blame her. At first she thought maybe there would be a clinic close by she could go to and have them give the shot. Ugh. Considering the amount of $$$ already spent in this process, $300 is not too big a deal so I came with her. Luckily, my job allows this kind of thing. But it really does provide a good example of how much work it is and how inconvenient going through fertility treatment is.

We have a pregnancy test for Tues and IM will most likely take a home-test on Sunday when we get home.

I'm feeling really down about this cycle and really negative. I don't know why. It just feels pretty hopeless right now and it seems like it cannot possibly work. But...I don't know anything and there is obviously still a chance. The transfer went pretty close to perfect...no...it was perfect. The embryo thawed out almost perfectly with 95% cells intact and growing. That's all good news.

Anyway, the hotel is actually really nice, I've been running every morning, and I have been able to see some family that we have that lives here...so all in all it's not so bad.

Let's just hope IM is pregnant. Then all of this, and all the BS we have been through, will have been worth it.
