Hopes have been dashed...

Well my temps decided to head south yesterday....slowly but surely...AF is on her way, should be arriving on my doorstep by wednesday.....I caved and took an hpt on Sunday morning.....but it of course was negative.....totally devasted me.....i really didnt think it would have that effect since I have pretty much known that it would be negative over the past 2 weeks. I just wanted it to happen so badly that seeing only one line on the hpt, was the finality of it. REALITY SUCKS! I have to wait for AF to arrive before I can call the RE....I am not sure exactly what is in store for us over the next few weeks......I guess i wont know until i get into the doc. I have been doing some homework/research on IVF.....it seems that to get the cycle started, I would need to go on BCP's for about 3 weeks. I have seen a variety of start dates for BCP's, but the majority seemed to be within the first 5 days after AF arrives. I hope that we can get started right away......I knew that I should have scheduled an IVF consult during this past 2 weeks, so that when the enevitable occurred (AF arriving) I would know the plan... well onto more waiting...... during this wait, i often check the following website to comfort myself that we are not alone in our journey....
