So, I haven’t been very bloggery lately. I’ve been checking in, mostly to see what’s going on with my bloggy friends and was stunned and devastated by Belle’s news. Dammit, the world just seems so unfair sometimes. What a difference a day can make. What an awful thing for my blog friend to have to [...]

IVF #2, WTF Appointment
I’ll write this post in two sections — the before and after. BEFORE: Tomorrow, we go for our WTF (Why The Fail, a translation for those faint of heart) appointment. I have some prediction for what the RE will say/recommend: Donor eggs Surrogacy (technically, gestational carrier) Just do it again — it’ll work… eventually. Blather, [...]

IVF #2, 10 dp3dt, Don’t Ignore Infertility… or Present It in a Stupid Way
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, Guilt and Freud
So, my forgotten night time med (metformin and the dreaded birth control pills) count is now up to 4. FOUR times, I’ve forgotten to take the meds at night. One time, I forgot until the next afternoon. The other three (like today), I’ve woken up and taken the missed doses. What I’m wondering is if [...]

Not Being Pregnant Is So Boring
When I first started doing all this charting and TWW tracking and all this stuff, it was so exciting. I had to much to do — google to search, temperatures to take, CM to examine carefully (watery? creamy? vag gold?), FF to keep up with, symptoms to track, breasts to push on to determine relative [...]

2 Answers, Many Questions
So, I had been wondering if my friend, who was trying to get pregnant, was pregnant. She is. My other friend, who has fibromyalgia, has been trying since last summer or the summer before… and she’s pregnant now too. She just announced it on FB by talking about how much she hated her first [...]

Fat Injection
So, I went for my “failed IVF appointment” today (they love the phrase “failed IVF” there). I went in with the negative reviews floating in the the back of my mind, but, really, the whole office was great. I think the negative reviews I talked about last time are from people who don’t understand the [...]

Negative Reviews
So, I googled my RE’s name today, like I’ve done a bunch of times before, but this time, I noticed these review websites. My RE totally has a bunch of negative reviews. I mean, A LOT. My experience has been mostly okay I guess. The IVF lady who calls is not very smart (and she’s [...]

5.3 FSH, 18 antral follicles
So I called for my BW today, and I found out that all my results are “fine.” The only one I knew to ask about for a specific number was FSH and it was 5.3. This website says that anything below 6 is a good number, so I’m feeling pretty good about that. Also, I [...]

Second day of Birth Control Pills
So, I started my birth control pills last night, and I already feel like crap. I hate those things and have no idea how other women take them for years and years on end. I’m considering calling my RE and begging her to let me use the Nuvaring. I mean, really, what can be so [...]
