I’ve been doing some thinking, and I’ve come to a conclusion about why yesterday hit me so hard.
It was our first tww. Our first cycle with a real chance at getting pregnant. And I think the failure of that first cycle must be a shock and a disappointment to ANYONE. I’m sure that when couples [...]

Still a negative

Got the bloodwork to confirm it. So it’s time to stop the progesterone, wait for the inevitable and then get back on the ttc train. The woman from the clinic who rang to give me my results was very nice- she asked if I wanted to come back next month, and when I said I [...]
I am an IDIOT

It was a BFN of course.
Despite the light headedness, the pasty/metallic taste in my mouth, the nausea, etc.
Clearly my body tried really hard to make me feel pregnant since it could tell how badly I wanted to BE pregnant.
Stupid body.
And I know that this was technically our first cycle where we actually had a chance, and [...]
11dpo + IUI

Thank you to everyone who replied to my last post. My friend really appreciated the information.
I’ve been absent in the (vain) hope that this would help keep me from going crazy during this waiting period. I would like to think, now that I’m two days away, that I’m settling into it…but who am I kidding? [...]
A question
Posted in Friends, Medical issues on July 24, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Is there anyone out there who blogs about ttc with Klinefelter’s Syndrome (XXY males)? A friend of mine has just had her husband diagnosed with this, and they are understandably struggling with the diagnosis. I thought it might help if I could direct her to stories from other people who are dealing with the same [...]
6dpo + IUI

I’m getting the hang of this waiting thing. I do have a new book (Possession by A.S Byatt, which is very interesting but also very dense so I really have to pay attention when I read) and I’m trying to edit my book (except this week I think it sucks, so summoning the strength to [...]
4dpo + IUI

So I’ve decided I’m not so into this tww thing. I don’t know how most ladies deal with it every month. Does it get easier?
I feel like I’m in this weird limbo- if conception was going to happen, it would have. If implantation is going to happen, we’re probably not there yet. I’m sure anything [...]
All is well

I’m still waiting on the bloodwork to be absolutely certain, but the ultrasound this morning showed a big difference- the follicle was down to 17. And my temperature went up this morning- not a lot, but some. So we’re pretty sure I ovulated, which means the IUI was perfectly timed. That’s a big relief.
They did [...]
Frustrated!

Just got a phone call from my fs. Based on today’s bloods now she’s not sure whether it was my true surge or not. So she wants me back in at the clinic tomorrow for more bloods and an ultrasound. If I’ve ovulated, great. If not they’ll give me a trigger shot…but then they’re going [...]
And so, we wait…

Well, I’m back and (possibly) impregnated. Or, about to be so (possibly), as I haven’t actually ovulated yet, but will do so sometime this evening or overnight.
It was a relatively simple procedure- no more uncomfortable than a pap test, although my cervix was really sensitive (the nurse said it was because I’m so close to [...]
