IVF #2, +842 Days, -8 Days

So, there’s this website where you can create these little tickers.  I do not advise going to this website, as it will likely depress you, as it did me, unless you’re in that beautiful 1st year phase of trying to have a wee little one.  Since I started in 2009 (YES! 2009!), I put in [...]

Oscars and 2nd IVF

So, the big news is that the Oscar nominations will be announced tomorrow.  I saw The Iron Lady in theaters this past weekend and was simply blown away by Meryl Streep.  She’s amazing, awe-inspiring even. And, in not so big news, I’ve started spotting.  I predict that I’ll be calling to start the 2nd IVF [...]

There will be time, there will be time

And indeed there will be time For the yellow smoke that slides along the street, Rubbing its back upon the window panes;         25 There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; There will be time to murder and create, And time for all the [...]

12dp3dt: BFN, Beta later today

So, I caved and took a POAS test this AM, just so I’d be mentally prepared for the news I’ll be getting later today.  It was a BFN, though I thought, for a second that there was a hint of  a second line.  I think that shadow could be named wishful thinking.  The test I [...]

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 [...]

Cycle 22, CD 26, Negative Blood Test

So, this cycle is officially over.  I got the call today and set up the appointment for the IVF consult for next Wednesday.  Looks like we’ll be finding out more about stims and progesterone shots and whatnot. I got over my sad about this when I started spotting, so it wasn’t too bad of  a [...]

Cycle 22, CD 25, 11 DPIUI, Spotting

So, I’m spotting again.  For those of you following along, you’ve heard lots about me spotting.  For any new folks, I spot every month before my period.  Once, I spotted for 10 days in a row and it was terrible. I’m supposed to go take a pregnancy test tomorrow, and I guess I will, unless [...]

Cycle 21… Still. CD 27, 12 DPO: IVF Price

I did get a quote today about IVF, but nothing else.  We will owe $3400 to even get started, then have about $1200 in meds, $250 for pre-screening, and $350 for something else I can’t remember off the top of my head, for a grand total of about $5,200. That’s right, even with insurance, it [...]

Cycle 20, CD 27, 13 DPO

So, second day with no spotting (yesterday, there was just a little bit in the morning).  I found this great website that finally seems to explain the spotting to me, and explains why I’ve stopped spotting but haven’t started my period yet.  Sometimes, it’s just so nice to KNOW something, or at least think I [...]

Cycle 20, CD 26, Blood test negative

The bloodtest came back negative.  I’ve stopped spotting, so now I just wait on my period. I guess I was the fool today for thinking this might work out this time.
