Well, ladies, in spite of all our good intentions and prayers, this IVF cycle obviously isn't the one to give us a baby.

I tested this morning and, a couple of frustrating hours later, finally got the call from the RE...negative.

Tom had had to finally go in to work, so I got the call here at home by myself. I called him with the news, had a long cry, and a decent nap. Now I'm going to take a good, long, hot bubble bath and maybe have a cup of regular coffee.

We'll figure out soon where we go from here. We may try again, so I'm not giving up hope yet.

Right now, I'm just glad the wait is over. The cramping that is still going on, though, is really feeling like a slap in the face, salt in the wound, you name it.

Thanks for all your wishes and support, and good luck to the rest of you who are trying.

Sharon
