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 [...]
Almost time to get started

First up, I’d just like to say thanks for the comments on my last couple of posts. You always wonder when you take a big break from blogging whether anyone will stick around to see if you ever reemerge, so it was very nice to see some old friends and some new faces. I’m still pretty [...]
Weight (less)
Posted in Emotions, ttc on September 15, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Yesterday morning I hopped on the scale, and my wedding weight was staring back at me. It’s my happy weight- the weight where I feel full of confidence. It’s taken me all summer, but the ten pounds that the past two years of treatments and emotional eating have stacked on are gone.
And this time, this [...]
A fresh start

*crawls out from under her rock, brushes off dust, and stares up, blinking at the sunlight*
I’m back.
First up, a confession. I LOVE September. I love the crispness in the air that comes at the end of the month, and the long, languid, golden twilights that come before in the Indian summer. I love the first [...]
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 [...]
Going quiet

I don’t think I’ll be posting much on here over the summer. I’ll update next week after our WTF appointment with our f/s, but since I’m taking a break from all treatments, I’m trying to make it a good clean break. I’ll return when we gear up again in the fall. I’ll probably get behind [...]
Cycle #6, Day 8- Things you don’t want your ultrasound tech to say…
Posted in Emotions, ttc on April 30, 2009 | 12 Comments »
“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 [...]
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 [...]
