  • All These Little Earthquakes

    When last I wrote, I was considering making some changes at work. We've basically decided to go with plan B (not applying for a new job at a different company, TTC in May). While of course I'm thrilled about TTC in May, work still sucks. I've...

  • Waiting on ovulate is *so* fun!

    Well getting sick mid-cycle didn't help, because it happened around the time I typically ovulate so I think getting a cold and having a fever the one day screwed my body up. I'm thankful to say I've had two days of light EWCM and today it's...

  • I Should Have Known

    I should have known it wasn't going to work for me. I just should have known. And I shouldn't have let myself get excited or hopeful because I should have known it wasn't going to work. And why should it? Apparently my ridiculously perfect...

  • Wishing and hoping...

    Hope is a scary thing. It's scary how the more you hope for something, the more you're setting yourself up for disappointment if that something doesn't come. I went into this IVF with so little hope, such low expectations. As we've crossed...

  • Expecting the Unexpected

    Yesterday I woke up in the middle of a dream that most of my embies had died and the only ones remaining were in horrible condition and graded at the bottom of the scale. I spent all morning before my embryo transfer sick to my stomach thinking this was...

  • The big day (part 1)

    (I guess technically the big day would be the day of my pregnancy test in a couple weeks.. so we'll call this "Big Day Part 1!") My embryo transfer is this afternoon at 12:30. Last night I had a dream that I got to the doctor's office...

  • Halfway there

    I'm at the halfway point of my first and hopefully only IVF cycle. So far things have gone better than anyone expected. Each time a new hurdle comes along, I'm convinced it's the one that'll make us fall. But so far this hasn't happened...

  • Cautiously Optimistic

    I'm doing my best to not raise my expectations too high for this next cycle. My miscarriage was early and uncomplicated - I feel confident that my cycle won't be majorly impacted by it. The fact that I *DID* get pregnant last cycle means that...
  • What do you know...I *CAN* get pregnant...

    ...but apparently I've not mastered staying pregnant. I made it to 6 weeks. And that was that. :( I've been looking for the brightest side I can in all of this. I understand the statistics. I now realize just how common early miscarriage is. And...
  • Facing reality

    At the end of December I was hit in the face with the news that at 29 my FSH is 12.9 and our best option to conceive is IVF. I haven't blogged since that time because writing about it somehow made it all real. But at this point I'm WAY past the...

  • Moving on up

    So, it's like, daily drama all up in here for me. Back to the work thing - I'm contemplating applying for a job at another company, because i am sort of unsatisfied with my current work. If I did that, and got the job, I wouldn't want to take...

  • Man plans, God laughs

    Life is insane. We're in the process of buying a house, and that process has stopped and started several times (although today it seems to have started again, so I'm less worried about that for now). DH just started a new job, which is great,...
