Cookie Monsters Eve

Continued from “The Penultimate Weeks, Part 3”… As soon as we left the HROB, we headed the two blocks to the hospital, tread what was becoming the familiar path through the Women’s & Children’s hospital lobby, up the elevator, and with a detachment bordering on boredom in our voices told them our names and who … Continue reading →

Civil War In My Head

Let me start by apologizing for being a lazy blogger over the past week. My internet was in an out and slow where I was for Thanksgiving, and I’ve been so TIRED these last couple of days. Things are going so well. I’m in a weird place for my personality. I’m such a pessimist, usually. … Continue reading →

100 Thanks (& update)

Today, I post my 100th post. I am in such a different place than I was when I began this blog in January. January Me was hopeless, desperate, and had no directions to find the path to a baby. I was not yet seeing an RE, despite being 2.5 years and one miscarriage into TTC, … Continue reading →

Trigger Happy

Well, apparently, Dr. C.’s office must have sensed my discontent on Thursday because they more than made up for it. (Well, not really. My results made up for it, but I’ll give them the credit and let them back in my good books. 🙂 ) There was still nothing much going on with my left … 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 →

Debbie Downer’s Got Nothing On Me Today

I’m sorry that I haven’t been around much lately. I haven’t been a very good blogger, or a very good blog follower. This stems from two causes. The dominant one being that school has started again. Since there’s not much grading to be done, one might think that the first week or two of the … Continue reading →

My Vagina is Not a Wheelchair (and cycle update)

I seem to be in some sort of time warp. I keep thinking it’s been a day or two since I’ve posted, when in reality, it’s been more like a week. Partly it’s because my in-laws are still here in the middle of their month-long visit. I am busy playing hostess and not-capable-enough daughter in-law, … Continue reading →

CD10 & Standardized Testing = Stress

So, today is CD10 and we began standardized testing at my school today. I had to call to make the CD12 appointment for my U/S. Seems simple enough, except that Thursday we will still be testing. Which means I cannot leave work until testing is over. Also sounds simple enough. For the non-school personnel = … 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 →

Testosterone Might Be My Bitch?

I say “Might Be” b/c I haven’t finished the phone conversation with the nurse about my test results. (for background, if you’re new to the blog, please see Testosterone, Prepare to Be My Bitch!) So, last week (3/29), was bloodwork day. It may sound relatively hum-drum to most, but this was two months in waiting.  … Continue reading →
