I'm a happy wifey to the Big Guy, a researcher, a worker, a mum and a step-mum. tBG and I started trying for a baby together in Feb 2008 (as soon as we got married) but we got diagnosed with secondary infertility in Jan 2009 and I got hit with a premature peri-menopause diagnosis in early 2010. We did 5 IVF cycles between May 09 and June 10. None of them worked. Full blown menopause at 42. Oh, and I'm also in the process of finishing my PhD. Unsurprisingly, my head is way too full so some of the dross is spilling out here.

PS. It was 4 years between the premature menopause diagnosis and hitting post-menopause. Whoa.
At the end of the IVF road in total we'd ... ~ done 5 stim cycles ~ grown 14 follicles ~ made 8 eggs ~ created 6 embryos ~ had 2 transfers ~ seen lots of BFNs ~ seen 1 chemical BFP
Who is the patron saint for being a bitch? I could use a prayer to that saint right about now.
ReplyDeleteThat St Timothy is always giving me the sh*ts.....
ReplyDeleteHuh, who knew! I was raised Catholic too. I still think we were twins seperated at birth.
ReplyDeleteI started laughing when I saw this. I bet there's also a patron saint of foot fungus and of hangnails:)
ReplyDeleteNot that it's a bad thing. In fact, I could do with St. Timothy intervening on my behalf right about now.
I too, am a Catholic, but avoid praying to a particular Saint. I got a few Gerard of Majella stamps given to me when dealing with miscarriage.
