Q. and I were discussing when we wanted to do this next FET. We’d decided on December because semester will be over and I can literally spend the entire two weeks resting at home. Next semester is crunch time for me, as my comprehensive exams are coming up in April, so there would be no [...]

When PIO shots become a real PITA
Posted in FET, Medications, TWW on October 25, 2009 | 2 Comments »
There isn’t all that much to report at chez Turia. Wednesday is beta day, and it’s a lot closer than it used to be, which is good. At the moment, I’m expecting a bfn, but I can’t tell if I really think it’s a bfn, or if I’m just telling myself that’s what I think [...]
No vacancy

There’s no room at the inn. I’m currently gestating- pregnant until proven otherwise.
Both of our embies survived the thaw, so we still have two on ice. The transfer went as smoothly as can be. I’m at home, under strict orders from Q. to loll about and do absolutely nothing.
If he wasn’t having to jab a [...]
FET #1, Day 2
Posted in FET, Medications, Thyroid, ttc on October 2, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Feels a bit weird to be putting cycle days up there again. But it means we’re moving forward, which I like. I was a bit worried earlier in the week that I had miscalculated when to stop the bcps, but af turned up right on time in the end. So this morning I went back [...]
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 [...]
IVF #1, Day 13- all systems are go
Posted in IVF, Medications on May 5, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Q. is awesome.
We had to trigger last night at 1.30 am. We set three alarms, and I still had trouble getting to sleep. Q. was really worried- he didn’t want to hurt me, but he was a superstar! It didn’t hurt at all (I actually asked him- “Are you sure it went all the way [...]
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 [...]
Mantras (IUI cycle #4, Day 14)
Posted in Emotions, Medications, ttc on January 26, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Q. came with me to the clinic yesterday to keep me company, since it was Sunday morning and all (and also I think he wanted to have breakfast out and the clinic was a good excuse). Bad decision- the waiting area was chockers with slightly-stressed looking women. That’s usually a giveaway that I’ll be there [...]
A tale of two needles (IUI Cycle #4, Day 11)

My eggs are behaving themselves. There is a clear leader on each ovary, and one more on the right that is not so far behind. Three suits me just fine, and my fs seems happy as well. Not much to report on that- I’ll go back in on Sunday and it looks like IUIs will [...]
Take a number?

Yesterday provided a perfect example of the dangers of big clinics. I got home, did some work, popped my first pill in the afternoon and then thought, “That looks weird”. Looked at the pill packaging and my receipt, and sure enough- the secretary gave me fe.mara, not pro.vera. Damn.
So went back to the clinic this [...]
