I spent this evening babysitting for a friend. I was fine the whole night, but a case of the down-in-the-dumps has crept up on me since getting home. I’m guessing this is the reason why. Maybe it’s b/c my period is starting soon. That would be great! I’m tired of being disappointed by this cycle. … Continue reading »
Negative, Ghostrider: The Pattern is Full…
…full of lazy-ass, slow-growing, PCOS follicles that won’t ovulate, that is. Hippie follicles. Hippie follicle protesters conducting a sit-in on my ovaries. Trouble is, I don’t know why they’re protesting, so I can’t negotiate. They’re crowding up the place, refusing to grow, refusing to let out an egg, and refusing to leave.

Going in for results is way more stressful than going in and praying they’re going to start me on a treatment. Yesterday wasn’t as bad as … Continue reading »

DAY 13: Describe your dream vacation. Tropical Island. Perfectly warm. All Inclusive resort. Frozen Margaritas on tap. “Happy Drunk” feeling, but never any hangover.
