Patience is not something I have a lot of. Actually, I have none. Based on my little app, I should be ovulating today with my “most fertile” day (28% chance) being tomorrow. But guess who’s been taking ovulation tests every day all week? Right. Just in case. Didn’t want to miss it. So, this morning,… Read More Here We Go, Here We Go, Here We Go!
Prepare yourself for medical details. So, the time has finally arrived. I’m going to start taking ovulation tests next week and when I get the green light (I’m assuming that’s how it works – per usual, no research), I call the office and go in the next day for “the procedure.” Estimated around August 8th… Read More Count Down
A funny thing about this blog: most of the people that see me daily, don’t tend to read it. Which is fine, obviously. I get it. I don’t read blogs. I don’t keep up with other people’s lives very well. We’re all busy. We have things to do. I do think it’s funny though, when… Read More Keeping Up
Thursday my doctor’s office received a very expensive package from the cryobank. Luckily, I have a friend there who gave me a backstage pass and sent me some important photos. This reminds me very much of Mork from Ork, who landed on earth and hatched from a space egg. I spent a good amount of… Read More Science Fiction
Here’s the great thing about my friends – they care. First thing this morning at 7 am I got a message from my friend who works at TRM. She had read my blog from last night and offered to fill out my form ASAP, catch the doctor, and send it to the bank that morning.… Read More Yes, please, I’ll take 3
So, I know I happily explained last post how I wasn’t bogging myself down by reading everything online or digging through the process notes – just going smoothly along. When I hopped online yesterday, visa card in hand, to place my order, I ran into a bit of a wrinkle. I had noticed that there… Read More Well, there’s that
Doctors appointment on Thursday at TRM went well. Dr Scotchie went over all my labs with me and said that I was in the “normal” range for my (34) age group. She said all looked good with the HSG as well as the ultrasound – a good follicle count, no blockages in tubes, etc. She… Read More Full Steam Ahead
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is the process I will be using to get pregnant. This is not the same thing as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). It’s the old gag about the turkey baster – except, of course, it’s not quite like that. For details about IUI you can check out the TRM website. In general, when… Read More IUI IVF ETC
I’ve been doing something lately that I haven’t allowed myself to do regularly for a really long time – sit down and watch tv. Having been under the clock about the CPA exam for almost all of the past 2 years meant that any time I spent “doing nothing” was on some level of sin.… Read More New Girl
One of the interesting things I wasn’t ready for with this experience, and especially this blog, is how many people have gotten in touch with me about their own situations – working through fertility treatments, doing IVF, IUI, etc. – and not just ladies. A friend of mine that I know through roller derby recently… Read More HSG & Frosted Coffee
