I think it was Mel from who recently wrote a post about infertility being like a video game. I say think because I read about it on another person’s blog, and I can’t remember whose blog it was — this person had written a funny response about how each level of infertility treatment you go [...]

IVF #2, Pi Day
How wonderful is it that we have an entire day devoted to Pi? It’s one of the coolest things that I just found out about. In IVF about to start land, I’ve forgotten 2 BCP and 2 Metformins this cycle, including the ones last night. Actually last night, I didn’t forget. I was just so [...]

Melissa and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
So, it’s 10:14 AM, and I’ve already had a horrible day. Here’s a recap: I went to the gym. Even though I’ve eaten ONLY fruits, vegetables, beans, yogurt, cottage cheese, nuts and protein supplement for 8 days — and not much of those, I’ve only lost about 5 pounds. I’ve also exercised for about 45 [...]

3 Days Till Doomsday
I go into find out the news of my bloodwork on Friday. I’m so worried that the RE’s going to say that I’m so completely fucked up that there’s no help for me. I can’t even think about what all could be wrong — killer cells, clotting factors, MTHFR (or something like that), ANA, TNF, [...]

8d3dt: Spotting begins
So I know that spotting can be normal and expected and happen even while taking the progesterone shots. I know that in my head. But in my heart, the spotting signals the end. It has come every other time before I started my period and wasn’t pregnant, so why would this time be different? I’m [...]
