“So this cycle is an IVF?”
The casual question came right at the start of the ultrasound. I blanched.
“Umm…no. That wasn’t the plan.”
While waiting to see the doctor I sneaked a look at my chart (of course I did- I always do!).
My ovaries liked the new drug regime.
No, I mean they REALLY liked the new drug [...]

Cycle #6, Day 2 – one last kick at the can
Posted in Medical issues, ttc on April 24, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I was still supposed to be taking the pro.gesterone today. But I slipped up and forgot yesterday morning, and by the afternoon AF had arrived. Guess my body wanted to get the show on the road.
So, clinic for me this morning. My usual f/s was back, and I think I’m glad he was away last [...]
Who is this crazy woman?

So apparently my body doesn’t like changing plans at the last moment.
For the last couple of days I’ve found my mood gradually winding tighter and tighter. I’ve been waking up with a sore jaw (clenching my teeth?). I have to think consciously about breathing deeply. My anxiety levels seemed much too high. My heart rate [...]
Cycle #5, Day 14- going nowhere
Posted in Emotions, ttc on April 16, 2009 | 6 Comments »
This cycle is officially a bust. Went in today to see that the follicle that was measuring 14 is now measuring 11, despite upping the Pu.regon dose to 100. My estrogen is still dropping.
The f/s (I’ve now seen everyone who works there this cycle since my f/s is still on vacation) was really sympathetic. “Maybe [...]
Cycle #5 – Day 12 – More surprises
Posted in Emotions, Medical issues, ttc on April 14, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I think my body is trying to prepare me for parenting. You know, the type of parenting that you read about in books: “Just when you think you’ve got the hang of it, everything changes!”
On Sunday I had a nice follicle measuring 14 on the right side, and the usual ones at 10 on the [...]
Cycle #5, Day 7

Back in today. Follies are trucking along. A whole bunch measuring 9 on the left, and one at 11 on the right.
The tech asked me today while she was scanning if I was having any spotting. I’m not, but I have had a darkish discharge for the last couple of days. When I mentioned this to [...]
Cycle #5 – Day 3: Injections R Us
Posted in Emotions, Endo, ttc on April 5, 2009 | 3 Comments »
First Pu.regon injection this morning. I almost forgot, and barely had enough time to get it done before heading off to yoga. I have a habit of stopping all of my drugs when I’m not cycling (except the synthroid), and I guess I just wasn’t in the meds frame of mind.
Everything looked good at the clinic [...]
Cycle #5 – Day 1
Posted in ttc on April 3, 2009 | 3 Comments »
It’s pissing with rain outside, which suits how I feel. I find when I go a couple of months without an induced af, I forget how miserable and gross I feel on those first couple of days.
But the upside is a new cycle has started. And I’ll be heading into the clinic tomorrow to procure [...]
