The Train is Back on the Tracks

Just went to see Dr. D. The bleeding/spotting has stopped, and we are back on track! Everything is holding tight. He figures the bleeding was caused by the catheter from the sonohysto irritating the lining. He doesn't feel that we need to be concerned, and are good to go. Just over a month left! :D

Isn't it funny how much bleeding affects our lives over the years? A welcome relief after a careless fling. A soul crushing sign of failure after an expensive cycle of trying.

UGH.

Being a chick sucks.
