Snap I need to buy new bras. My boobs have been huge pretty much since day 1, thanks to the progesterone injections I was on up until week 9. They’re less sore than they were in those days, but just the thought of wearing one of my regular bras at this point makes me cringe. […]
A full two weeks of my body oscillating between trying to get sick and valiantly fighting off the plague has culminated in two days (so far) of laryngitis. As my job consists of a lot of one-on-one conversation, this also means I’ve been staying home trying to rest and recover my voice. And it got me thinking. […]
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, […]
I gave myself my first Follistim injection this morning. Tonight I’ll mix the Menopur (which I’ve been doing for over a year, so I’m a total pro by now) and inject myself with that, too. It’s starting to sink in. We’re finally doing this! Hubby keeps asking me questions: When do you add X medication? […]
It’s amazing what you don’t notice until you do. Yesterday I lost my ever-loving mind–oh, and my wedding ring. I didn’t notice until I was in the middle of my last home visit of the day–a visit I had arrived to 15 minutes late because, for some reason, it didn’t occur to me that to […]
I’m trying not to obsess. Trying, but failing miserably. I’m trying to keep things in perspective. Like the fact that I’m still well within the normal range for normal ovulation. It’s only been two days since the morning I thought I would see that darker line. It feels like forever, but it’s only been two […]
I just have to get all of these silly thoughts out of my head. Pardon the verbal vomit. It’s CD 22. Which means I should be starting my period on Tuesday. That’s the plan, anyway. And then I’ll call Dr. C’s office to begin our IUI cycle. Except. My boobs are super sore. As they […]
It’s a law of the physical universe. Newton said so. The first law says that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion, with the same direction and speed. Motion (or lack of motion) cannot change without an unbalanced force acting. If nothing is happening to you, and nothing does happen, […]
I should be having sex with my husband right now. It’s “that time,” right? Except. He tells me on our walk to the dirt track near our house that he doesn’t feel like it. That he doesn’t want to do it “this way.” Meaning timed intercourse and paying attention to my cycles (which have been […]
I may have mentioned before that I’m introverted and a bit neurotic. On the Big 5 Personality Test*, I score low in extraversion and high in neuroticism. But I also score high in openness to experience. So it turns out blogging is the perfect medium for me to get all my nagging thoughts and insecurities out, without keeping them […]
