Posted by nextchapter , 22 January 2012 · 1407 views

I need all my energy in this cycle and not the next cycle.Another doctor did my FET, not my RE. It's unfortunate, I'm not superstitious but my RE did my last ET and I got a BFP, bu...

Biting my tongue during the holidays

Posted by nextchapter , 14 December 2011 · 1153 views

The holiday season is in full effect and next week I will be seeing and staying with the in-laws.

She is highly passive aggressive and gets snarky after a few da...

Two days before Beta, one day before HPT.....

Posted by nextchapter , 26 September 2011 · 2618 views

So here I sit, waiting for something that could change the rest of my life...a positive that I'm pregnant...I'm scared, hopeful, doubtful, worried, anxious, wondering, imagining, wanting, and wishing. I told myself I wasn't going to take a HPT today (two days before my beta) but I bought a double pack HPT anyways. Tomorrow is the answer and I'm petrified...

Is this a sign?

Posted by nextchapter , 11 September 2011 · 943 views
