It Is Finished

I am a huge Broadway musical fan. I know pretty much every word to every Andrew Lloyd Weber, Boubil and Schonberg, and Wildhorn show, plus a good dozen more that no one has heard of (Jane Eyre, Chess, the Civil War, anyone?). When I'm super stressed, Jesus Christ Superstar is the one I play, specifically the song Gethsemane. It's a rock opera, and during that song, Jesus questions his fate. There is something about the lyrics, music, and cadence of that song, all combined, that perfectly captures what deep mental angst feels like to me. So I listen, way too loud, and it's relaxing. Weird, I know.

At the very end of the show, as Jesus is dying, one of the last lines he utters is "It is finished." Given my current state of mind, that sums up my 15 nights of stims pretty well. (Side note: Perhaps we need a rock opera about infertility? Heck, if one about chess could make a go of it, why not? ) My lining didn't improve after another day of stims, sildenafil, electro acupuncture, and estrace, although my E2 went through the roof. So we triggered yesterday. Now we wait. For the nerdy, this cycle's details are below, with some earlier cycles included as well for comparison. I got my full records from my clinic, and was able to correct errors in things I'd been verbally told about past cycles.
