We invited my sister with us. Wait I have a sister? Not a biological sister but I did upgrade my bestie, S, to sister as of yesterday. We are a family, an Army family. Her husband deployed recently and I'm still waiting for mine to get his orders to go.
So S, J, the 2 redheaded boys and I headed out to Port Townsend for the day. It was spur of the moment but that is the way things sometimes end up being. I did some Christmas shopping while in town and I'm quite pleased with the purchases I made.
J took the above photo while on the beach at Fort Townsend with the boys. S and I walked the beach together toeing up pretty rocks. I brought home two of the rocks.
Some of you are probably curious right now as to the results of the HPT I said I would be taking this weekend. I did take one yesterday morning and this morning. This morning's was negative and that means that yesterday's line was only an evaporation line. Its now 12DPO. I still have another 4 days to go until my next cycle is likely to start. Usually my cycle is 24-27 days, and like I've said before I'm an early ovulator so I usually have about 16 days to wait in the two week wait. I still have time for a positive to show up but its highly unlikely with my egg quality issue.
One bad sign, the box of endometrin I just opened, not one of the tablets has been whole. Each one has been broken so far. Maybe an omen? No damage to the outer box, inner box or packaging covering each tablet. Go figure.
Another bit of bad...If J isn't getting deployed he will most likely be pushed out of the Army when his contract is up next year. Not fair, but what can we do about it? I'll find out more in the days to come.
I am sorry your tests are looking promising Rebecca. All we can do is keeping going forward and hoping that one day it will be our turn for some good luck.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous that you get to go to the beach, lol.
Your typo in the first sentence made look twice. At first I thought you were happy it didn't work. I know that can't be true.
DeleteAs for the beach, not likely to go for a swim with the air temperature being only 60 for a high yesterday. Remember I'm on the other side of the warm front...its still frost here most mornings.
Hello from a fellow Army wife! Sounds like you have a lot on your plate, what with facing either deployment or separation. :( I wish you and your family luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping for more answers soon. I can live childless, won't like, but I want my husband to be happy and he won't be happy as a civilian.
DeleteI love the beach so much! One of my favorite places! I'm glad you got to head out for a bit. I'm sorry about the lines not coming up. I'm hoping, maybe, just maybe, you'll get a different answer in the next day or so.
ReplyDeleteIt might be the tests I'm using. From what I read online it seems that they aren't the best. I'll try a different brand in the morning but right now I'm thinking its a neg.
DeleteI am sorry for the negative HPT. That is extremely frustrating, and I am sending you big hugs. I hope you enjoyed your day with your husband and friend and am glad you will have her around if/when he gets deployed. Hope the crutches won't be needed after too much longer!
ReplyDeleteSick thing is that because his career might be at stake I do hope he deploys.
DeleteI'm sorry about the HPT :( I hope that your husband gets to keep his career.
ReplyDeleteWell the meeting didn't happen. So who knows now.
DeleteWow ...there is a lot on your plate right now. I am sorry about the negative, but maybe a better test may have a differnt result?
ReplyDeleteIts so nice that you and J do fun weekend getaways and day trips. And sorry to hear about the contract issue :-(
Not even an evaporation line on the hpt today. Tried with a OPK and got a faint line. Just tease me why don't you!!! Ugh hate my infertility.
DeleteOh Rebecca. I'm so sorry for all the news. I was so hopeful when I saw the previous results. And the news about J is far from fair. Put him in danger or be kicked out. Makes me sad that this is how we treat our service men and women.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got a chance to spend the day at Port Townsend. It's lovely there and it looks like you had wonderful weather.
Two lines early on just like all the other losses. I'm thinking that the cysts were just too much and too filled with the estrogen to overcome the amount of progesterone I was taking. Clomid = cysts and lots of them for me. Time to learn to live without children I'm thinking.
DeleteSorry about the negative. I hope your Hubby can stay in the Army.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping so too.
