A while back, I posted a whole list of things I haven’t yet done on this journey, things I would guess many women do before ever being diagnosed with infertility. Not all of them good things. Over the last 24 hours, I have lost my infertility virginity. Last night, I took my first pregnancy test. […]
I was always the nerdy girl in school. We’re talking honor roll, marching band, Scholars’ Bowl, the whole nine nerd yards. And it wasn’t like I could hide it. I had nerd written all over me. I wore big, plastic glasses, half the size of my face, since 1st grade. I was (am) tall and […]
I’m glad it’s Friday. I’m off work. I’m in serious need of a weekend. So…remember when I said I could schedule a bunch of testing this month as soon as my period started? (Okay, I may have only said that somewhere in a comment, so if you didn’t know that, no biggie.) I had called […]
I sort of unofficially participated in ICLW last month. By which I mean I was not signed up, but I found lots of cool, new blogs and tried to leave as many nice comments as I could. This month, I decided to go for it. So if you’re here for the first time, let’s catch […]
I just got the dreadful and shocking news that Mo‘s water broke at 22 weeks. I don’t know her well, but she’s been through a lot already, and this is just freaking awful. Please keep her and her baby in your thoughts, and if you’d like to pass along a message, comment on Rachel, Courtney, or […]
This whole 3x/week injection schedule has me feeling a bit like this guy: I’m sure it’s no fun for Hubby either, but while the sting of the injection and all the physical changes are happening to him, I’m the one that has to prepare the injections, get the dosages right, change the needles (1 1/2 […]
…falls into the category of things I normally don’t do. But since Lisa @ Hapa Hopes was nice enough to tag me in this little game, I thought I should give it a shot. If I tag you and you don’t want to participate, no worries. I’m typically not much of a participator myself. Honestly, […]
I don’t do Valentine’s Day crap. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a made-up, commercial holiday. But I do love my husband, and so this post is dedicated to him. I wrote a poem for our wedding, 5 1/2 years ago, and although our future seems to be hurtling at us a little more slowly […]
I just have to say a big thanks to Mel for reading this post and thinking enough of it to add it to her Blog Roundup. And thanks to everyone who took the time to stop by and take a look around my humble, little blog. Go check out the rest of her picks. ***Fair warning: […]
I ovulated yesterday. As I’ve said, I have never officially charted, but I know my body. I know the signs. My cycle is fairly predictable (24 days, give or take a day). I realize this makes me pretty lucky, that among my fellow ALI bloggers, I’m something of an anomaly. I might actually be fertile. But it takes […]
