I did say I’d come on to post about what our f/s had to say at our WTF appointment yesterday. The weirdest part of the day was realizing the visceral reaction my body now has to the clinic. My heart starts pounding as I walk up to the doors of the building. By the time [...]

One of the girls on my forum had her baby, a beautiful little girl, on Saturday. She was discharged Monday, but baby A. was transferred to the NICU Sunday night because she was lethargic, refusing to feed, and turning blue. She’s a bit jaundiced, which could explain the lethargy and the feeding issues, but the [...]
News, unexpected

It’s been a rough weekend.
It started on Friday with a call from my endocrinologist. My thyroid is out of whack, again. He wants to up my dose from 0.75 daily to 0.1. I know there’s a 0.885 pill out there, so that must mean it’s significantly out of whack, since we’re jumping a pill.
The blood [...]
Why can’t we be friends?

This was not the post I was planning to write. I’ve been nominated for two bloggie awards by two of my favourite ladies, and I had intentions of getting round to responding and tagging…but that’ll have to wait for now.
I have a message forum with a group of wonderful ladies who have become some of [...]
Timeline to recovery

For the record, here’s how I’ve been feeling since the lap.
Thursday- surgery day. Back home by the late afternoon. Nauseous and sleepy throughout the evening. Not at all well.
Friday- one day post surgery. Felt like a million bucks in the am, so went to campus and gave my paper. Spent the whole afternoon/evening in bed [...]
Drug habits (IUI Cycle #4, Day 8)
Posted in Emotions, Friends, Medical issues, ttc on January 20, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I shoot up at breakfast now. Seriously. This morning I was reading the paper online over Q’s shoulder, eating my muesli, and plunging a needle into my belly. Without pausing, or even really thinking about it. So casual that even Q. had to mention it (mostly I think because he didn’t really like the fact [...]

Two posts in one day? That’s craziness!
One of my subfertile friends is having a really hard time managing her depression while ttcing. She has gone off her drugs, but is finding the clomid and the progesterone are really affecting her- to the point that she is considering asking her f/s to move directly to IVF [...]
Day 10 Cycle #2- still trucking along
Posted in Emotions, Friends, ttc on August 11, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Today I was reminded that my new fs is a very busy fs. It’s his clinic, so I guess that’s to be expected. But my wait times between when I finish my bloods/ultrasound and when I get called to see the doctor are noticeably longer than they used to be. And today was particularly bad [...]
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 [...]
Fretting about fretting

My friend had good news at her ultrasound- bub is fine, just young than they thought, so that’s why they couldn’t get the heartbeat. She’s due in late November and is hoping that I’ll end up about six months behind her so she can lend us all their baby stuff. Which is very sweet of [...]
