The Fertile Hurdle: It Is Over.

It Is Over.

My nurse just called. Levels are at 27. I have to go back in on Wednesday morning for more blood work but she is predicting what I already feared – a chemical pregnancy.

I don’t have anything else to say. I just don’t understand why this has to be SO HARD.

I am so sorry for you to have to experience this. It really is so sucky. BFNs are no fun but this is just so much harder. Take care of yourselves and when you are ready we will be here to cheer you on.
