Over-Anlayzing

It’s already begun. The insane thoughts. The noticing, and then analyzing, every, single, teeny, tiny feeling in my body that’s “odd.” (also known as: probably always there, but I don’t pay attention to it b/c I’m not thinking I might be knocked up.) I’ve been peeing a lot. A lot, a lot. In addition to … Continue reading →

Guess Who’s Back? Back Again.

Miss me? You may be asking, “Why have you abandoned your blog just as the action was heating up, Not-So-Fertile Girl?” Or, you may not have noticed my lengthy absence. Hopefully, the former. There’s no exciting or detailed answer. I haven’t gone anywhere. I’ve been right here. Checking your posts sporadically on my phone, logging on to … Continue reading →

Quick Question

I hate the terms Aunt Flo (AF) and period. They are boring and overused. Old news. Or even worse, is the term used on my protocol papers for this new treatment: menses. Yuck. There’s enough medical language in my life. So, I would like suggestions from YOU. What’s your vote for what I shall use as … Continue reading →

Just. Keep. Effing. Swimming.

So, here I am today – all Jam-Planned and Suck-It-Uped. No pms symptoms, other than a very upset stomach last night (which I chalked up to my very stomach-upsetting Metformin). Pop out of my 1st class for a super-fast pee, and there it is. An out-of-nowhere, thought-you’d-have-to-have-Provera, guess-what-you’re-not-this-month surprise. My first thoughts were happy because … Continue reading →

Is There Life Out There?

So, here I am…not having a baby. Thanks so much for all of your kind words on my “Seeing Red” post. I’ve thought about blogging every day since I posted it, but when I sat down at the computer, I just didn’t feel like it. So, I’m sorry for not responding to each of your … Continue reading →

I’m Not Asking That Much

So, it’s CD2…I think. I picked up my Femara Rx today. This time I’ll be taking 5mg/day. (2.5 last cycle) The only problem is…I’m not sure if I should start taking it. Yesterday I had some brown spotting & discharge when I wiped. I was told last cycle to count this as CD1. Today, however: … Continue reading →

Femara, Fatigue, & Fear

Femara, Day 3. Headache, Day 3. Extreme drowsiness & fatigue, Day 2. So, I am CD5, with 2 doses of Femara left to take. As usual, it has been a horrendous week at work (I don’t know if I can even complain about it anymore…I think what I should write about is when work is calm and … Continue reading →

The Next Frontier

I had the most amazing birthday. All that fear of 30 – for nothing! I think I was more sad about my 20’s being over than I was about actually being 30. My friends, Hubby, and family spoiled me rotten. Thanks to all of your advice and information, I allowed myself some beverages when we went … Continue reading →

“Baby Steps” Buzzkill

Hello again, blogging world. It feels like I’ve been gone forever. Last Wednesday, we went to New Orleans for a dear friend’s wedding. We drove 14 hours straight to get there, smashed in as much sightseeing & French Quarter Festival as possible, and drove 14 hours straight back home on Sunday. I knew ahead of … Continue reading →

Let’s Get This Party Started! (Finally.)

Prepare yourself. This blog will include happiness. Even if it’s only temporary, it’s enough for today. I got my call from Nurse P today. She told me that Dr. C. wants me to continue on the Metformin, since my glucose was normal. He says as long as I keep taking it, it should eventually get … Continue reading →
