Nothing really to report

Don’t know if it’s worth posting … but its 13 days post retrieval and I have nothing really to report. I have no real symptoms of anything, and am not expecting a Christmas miracle.

My progesterone levels were very high, and for most of the last week have felt hideously bloated.

I visited CFG yesterday for some ‘holding’ acupuncture and a pulse reading. She said she felt ‘good energy’, but couldn’t definitively say it was a pregnancy pulse.

This is the gentle let-down.

Since she is going on holiday for the next month, she did advise me to take some ‘P’ herbs and chicken balls just in case…

Meanwhile D’s blood test has come back clear. Dr. FU advised that the varicocele surgery would be a longshot, but wants to check in with our Fertility Specialists – since he can’t believe that we haven’t conceived even with ICSI. Don’t think this is going to go anywhere. The only advise we could be given is to do PGD next cycle.

D is going to make an appointment with the other Dr. his MS-CFG told him about. This doctor uses a new technique where recovery is quicker.

I’m not trying to be a defeatist here, I just couldn’t give a flying f**k for the ‘PMA’ mantra.

I am looking forward to a great Christmas though. D and I went shopping and picked out some wow new sunglasses – Prada!

I also have some homework from Lori and am working on that!
