IF can make you really superstitious. I think the knowledge that all of this is completely out of my hands makes me look to something I can control – even if it is illogical. Coping mechanism perhaps? The quest for the past week has been to find “signs” that I’m going to get pregnant. On Mother’s Day I cracked an egg with a double yolk.

I should be excited but I’m so disappointed at only having one egg I could cry (oh, wait, I have cried!).

They don’t want to up my dosage of meds because they don’t want the “tons of others” catching up. I’m so pissed. One egg I can do on my own without shooting myself full of hormones every night! The whole point was to provide more targets for the spermies! This feels so hopeless. All this effort for what amounts to a 10% chance. e2: 59
