Thanks for all the assvice on sleep- it’s muchly appreciated. I’m just super confused. I have a total split personality when it comes to parenting. Here are the two conversations I have in my head basically EVERY day. First one (normally after a good night, and earlier in the day): Why are you complaining that [...]

Fear

Here’s the thing. My beta levels were fine on Sunday (5359, and apparently it is perfectly normal to start taking longer to double once it gets over 1500). So fine, in fact, that the nurse said I could give my veins a rest, and I don’t have to go in again until the ultrasound on [...]
IVF #2- Day 9- still running behind
Posted in IVF, Medical issues, Thyroid on August 12, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Clinic again this morning. I’ll be there daily now until the retrieval (which is now looking more likely to be Tuesday rather than Monday). I had my favourite u/s tech this morning. I think she’s the boss of all the u/s ladies. I really trust her. And she’s often chatty about what she’s seeing, which [...]
a partial explanation

When I was at the clinic yesterday, I made my f/s test my TSH. The reason for this was that we tested it at the end of June, and I was over-suppressed (TSH was 0.035 for all you thyroid junkies out there). At the time I was on 0.112 four days a week and 0.100 [...]
Still no straight answers

Sometimes it is really hard to get a straight answer out of my f/s. And sometimes, I don’t think he’s doing it intentionally- I think it’s that he really doesn’t know. I went back in to the clinic today and discovered that my body has, in fact, decided NOT to ovulate (surprise surprise), so I’m [...]
FET #2- 6dp3dt
Posted in FET, Medications, Thyroid, TWW on December 10, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Nearly a week through. Thank goodness. I’ve found in the past that the first week goes by relatively quickly, and it’s the second week that drags and drags. The first week you know it’s too early for anything you’re experiencing to be “symptoms”, so it’s easier to check out, kick back, relax, and try to [...]
Umm…I thought we were getting a break?

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 [...]
FET #1, Day 2

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 [...]
Flight or fight

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 [...]
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. [...]
