Well, as it turns out, being ultra sensitive is a good thing. I thought yesterday I’d been having some potential ovulation pains so I went ahead and called the RE’s office to see if they could get me in for a scan this morning. We went in the for the scan and sure enough, those [...]

Too sensitive?
Posted in TTC on August 30, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
I believe something clicks in your mind once you being to start trying to conceive. It’s like your nerves hover closer to the surface and your third eye opens. You become radically in tuned to your body. What was that twinge? Was that pull or a poke? Are my veins darker than normal? Do I [...]
Waiting and waiting some more

I wrote a great post on Friday, but right as I went to publish it, my computer freaked out and I lost it. Needless to say, I didn’t try to recreate it. I’m finally done with Clomid and am now just waiting for the eggies to mature. I’ll call the RE’s office on Friday to [...]
Drugs

No, not those kind. My nightstand looks like a shelf at Walgreens with all the prescription bottles and boxes. And I’m not on nearly the amount of medications that a lot of women endure for infertility, not to mention the daily injections. My course is easier, but still requires maintenance and a good memory. I’m [...]
How many?

Back before being diagnosed with infertility, before I married at 30, when I was younger and had no time constraints, I always wanted a house full of kids. I thought 4 sounded about right. Reality sets in at some point in adulthood and you realize that you’re probably starting a bit too late for that [...]

Among my many blessings in life, my favorite and greatest is my husband. We have a young marriage and in the 17 or so months that we’ve been married, we’ve been through a lot. A lot of trials and hurts, actually. And through it all he’s been right by my side, holding my hand, wiping [...]
Hormones

My poor husband. Ever since we started on the conception journey, my hormones have been on roller-coaster. Well, it actually started before that. I went off the pill about a month after we got married for medical reasons and the hormone issues started then. Only it took us more than a year to get everything [...]
Judgement
Posted in TTC on August 20, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
The nasty side of having a miscarriage, at least for me, was this unbelievable judgment that I would pass on other women. You have this undercurrent of emotion that some women simply don’t deserve to be mother’s. It all comes from the grief and jealousy that someone has what you want, and it’s ugly, but [...]

There are days when I feel as if the sad days are well behind me, days when I can just think about the future and the possibilities. And then there are days when the grief of missing my child threatens to consume me. As I do with any aspect of my life, when I want [...]
And here we go again…

I don’t know whether to call this Round 2 or Round 3. Technically we’re starting our 3rd cycle with Clomid/hCG injection/IUI, but this is only the 2nd for this pregnancy. Regardless of what number it is, today is cycle day 1. I’ve called and talked to the nurse at the RE’s office and we have [...]
