les jeux sont faits

The news, she is not good.

I really thought I had hit some kind of new low point. But, incredibly, things have gone from bad to worse.
Oh wait a sec, I said that in my last post....

Let me start again.
First things were okay, then they were bad, then they were good, then they were really bad.
Since my arrival in NY, I had gone from 2 follicles to 1.
The ultrasound on Saturday showed that there were likely 3! Two more had continued to grow overnight. Things were looking up.
My husband arrived that morning and we spent a lovely day together.
The Sunday ultrasound confirmed that 3 were looking pretty good.
"We'll call you in the afternoon", said my doctor, "and let you know whether we'll be triggering tonight or tomorrow."
I was relieved, even happy. It looked this trip was going to be worth it afterall.

We walked down to 1st Ave and cheered on the 37,000 or so marathoners. We enjoyed a delicious brunch and I decided to call my cousin (telling him I was in town for work...lies, more lies) to see if he could join us for dinner. He and his wife picked us up at the hotel, and we headed to the village. I hadn't heard from the clinic yet, so I used his cell phone to call and see if they had any messages for me.
We'll have your doctor get back to you they said.

I was a few bites into dinner when the cell phone rang.
We're sorry, the doctor said.
You've surged. You're ovulating and we're cancelling the cycle.
Huh?

This I was not prepared for.

Apparently, Antagon is able to suppress ovulation in 99.9% of women. I am in that 0.1% group that it doesn't work for.
Isn't that special?

We flew home yesterday. After a 3 hour drive (from the airport to our home), I had 2 hours to cry, unpack, eat dinner and have sex (..well, you never know). Then I got ready for a 3 hour drive to our nations capital to attend a meeting scheduled for today which I hadn't planned on attending because of my 'vacation' in NY. But I just couldn't face the prospect of going to my office today, and didn't want to be an empty house by myself.
