Nothing is fucked here Dude – Walter Sobchak, The Big Lebowski
We decided that three attempts is our limit, and so, we begin again when Michelle’s body recovers. This time we are operating on a longer protocol. Michelle takes a birth control pill for twenty one days to calm her ovaries, then starts one set of injections for 10, only then do we reach the point we started the first time.
I am not entirely sure why the approach is different. You need to be informed and ask good questions, but not about everything. If the doctor does not know what he is doing we are truly screwed, so a little faith is well advised.
I had to complete two chemistry classes in Engineering, both had lab components. I always managed to find out what the final solution was from someone who had taken the course before, and then I did all the calculations backwards until I arrived at the start. This was easier to me than measuring and mixing shit in test tubes. I did a full year of University chemistry labs without ever actually doing an experiment.
In retrospect, me fucking up the IVF drugs, was practically a guarantee. I have asked Michelle to double check every move I make from now on. Our new quality control system operates on one axiom, “Dirk is not in charge of anything.”

I know how difficult it is to go through this again…
Remember the successful embryo transfer…well after doing the scan we found no heartbeat. This is truly one rollercoaster ride.
