It’s been an up-and-down day. I’ve got a lot to wrap my brain around, so I’m breaking it down sort-of-bullet-style. Good: I had two visits this morning and took the rest of the day off, so Hubby and I got to have lunch together before our appointment, and I spent the rest of the afternoon […]
I’m still exhausted. I still feel like I’m getting sick. I did nothing all weekend, actually felt fine yesterday, and today I’ve been sneezing, my throat hurts, and I feel generally bleh. But mentally? Much better. I think Cristy had a point about the hormone crash (see comments). At least, that’s what I’m telling myself […]
Seasonal Affective Disorder. I think I have it. Er, something. One of the reasons I love living here is that, even in winter, it’s sunny almost all the time. The rare days it’s not, all I want to do is curl up under a blanket and go to sleep. Today was one of those days. […]
Yep, that’s me. Hubby and I had sex on Saturday night (for the first time in I-don’t-know-how-long and the last time until who-knows-when), and I’ve been having cramps ever since. I’m afraid I was right about this being the mother of all periods. Yesterday was CD1, and I go back on birth control tomorrow morning. […]
My sister is obsessed with finding my husband a job in her city. Apparently, she’s been doing her own job search and emailed me the link to an opening at a local university, which I forwarded to Hubby. Of course, it wasn’t a good fit for him, but I appreciate that she’s trying. Mostly though, […]
It’s official. Our first IVF has now become (hopefully) our first FET. We have four frozen embryos. Which begs the question, what do I call these little boogers? Frosties? Snow Babies? Totsicles? Fro-yos? It’s all been done before. I have a few ideas, but I need your help, dear readers. You, after all, are the […]
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your words of support and encouragement yesterday. I really needed them. We got the call this morning, after another night of both of us tossing and turning. Three blasts, possibly a fourth on the way. They will be biopsied and frozen. I am to stop the progesterone and […]
If you’ve been reading my blog a while, you may remember when I posted about Hubby and I each moving along at our own pace from the time we were children. I’ve determined this must be genetic because our embryos are now showing the same quality. It’s day 5, but none of them have yet […]
Is killing me. Not actually the waiting so much as the not-knowing. I have no idea how our embryos are doing. Apparently, when you plan to do a 5- or 6-day transfer, our clinic doesn’t give any updates on day 3. They check to make sure at least some of the embryos are still dividing, […]
Ten little embryos! Thank you all so much for your well-wishes and advice after my last post! I will definitely up my fiber intake (as I’m prone to constipation anyway), but I did feel good enough to go to work today. If all goes well, I’ll miss two days of work next week (as opposed […]
