Two major updates! (Two! Two ah-ah-ah!)
One: We went to the RE on Monday and started to get some answers. The doctor thinks I probably have PCOS because I have GINORMOUS ovaries (isn't that a good thing??) and they look cyst-y, but that will be confirmed with a blood test. PCOS = poor eggs, which could account for the infertility. I also have a really thick lining, like dangerously thick, like almost three times thicker than normal, and that alone would have stopped implantation, so I really stood no chance.
He wants to do an HSG (to see if tubes are clear and whether or not I have fibroids all up in that lining) and then hysteroscopy and D&C which is basically awful, i.e., they put me under and fucking scrape out the innards of my uterus. Who the fuck came up with that? That plus getting the potential PCOS under control should get me pregnant.
It was really weird because the doctor kept saying when and talking like it was something that would actually happen, and in the near future, and I've just been using if for so long that it threw me through a loop. But it's good he's confident. I need someone to have optimism, because I'm all out.
Two: FINAL DRAFT OF MY WIP IS DONE DONE DONE.
...sooo, anybody want to beta? It's a 128k-long fantasy adventure set in a Sahara-like desert with shambling corpses, assassins, healers, and undead camels. Or, as my current hook reads:
A young assassin is forced into an uneasy alliance with a fastidious sorcerer when an ancient, malevolent power threatens the world in pursuit of immortality.
I need 2-3 betas for the month of April and then another 1-2 for May (I already have 2 prospective betas for May). I would prefer you could finish reading and get back to me within the month so that I can fix/edit what I can before sending the WIP onto the next round of betas. I would also prefer that you have read some modern fantasy in the last few years.
What you get in return: MY UNDYING GRATITUDE. And a shout-out if I ever get this beast published. Also a free, fun read (hopefully!)!!
Leave a comment or email. I love you. <3
