But I can say this, i am a whatiffer from way back, and I can only say yeah, I get it. And yeah, I wish it were different. I think one of the many things that comes into stark relief in all of this ttc hoopla is that there is so much that we do not have one tiny bit of control over, that I find I want to control the hell out of the rest. It is the only fragment of power I feel I have-- sometimes it is just information sometimes it is actual decision making or needle pushing. but I hate how much this exposes just how much I am at the whim of .... whatever. Luck. Wishing you peace and spareribs and a chicken stuffed whippet (not on the same plate) and thinking of you Susan, with love, Kate Oh baby- your posts are amazing, of course, and I miss visiting and lingering.

I say this because of what I'm about to say: Hope you're NOT spontaneously pregnant too. *shaking head that such a statement could ever be uttered* Pardon the french, but baby making post infertility an loss is a total mind fuck.

In one way it is nice to be free of the moment to moment issues of a fresh IVF, but I'm sure I'm going to be obessing about how the donor is handling everthing! I imagine having just these thougths!

God, I hate my life that I'm hoping I'm NOT spontaneously pregnant.

Your fears are very legitimate but I think the flip side of the negative what if's are far more numerous and reassuring! You mentioned "what if I get pregnant with crap egg from this cycle", did you TTC this cycle? Things sound like they are going in your favor.

You mentioned “what if I get pregnant with crap egg from this cycle”, did you TTC this cycle?
