We dropped off Hubby’s prescription for testosterone injections at the pharmacy tonight. He won’t start them for a few weeks, but it’s a big step. A step off the infertility roller coaster, at least, for him. Hindsight being 20/20, we should have done IVF back in September, when Hubby’s sperm count was at its peak. In […]
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. […]
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 […]
When we got our tentative IVF calendar, we were looking at doing egg retrieval this Wednesday. After the slow progress and double doses of meds, I thought for sure that would have been pushed back by a day or two. Apparently, that is not the case. After receiving my lab results, Dr. C called me […]
Two days back at work, and I’m already behind on blog reading. Good thing the weekend starts tomorrow night, so I can start to catch up. I wish I could do it at work, and today would have been the perfect day for it, since I ended up with only one home visit all day, […]
My appointment this morning was quick. No labs, just a quickie ultrasound with Dr. C. Turns out, lefty, my shy little underachiever, seems to be responding well. Dr. C counted at least 3 follicles at 9mm. Righty, on the other hand, isn’t doing squat. So Dr. C doubled my dosages of both Follistim and […]
This is my 200th post. In honor of that milestone and the new year, I thought I’d give you a rundown of 2012, numerical style. 0: number of sperm we started out with 306: injections mixed and shot into my husband’s ass by yours truly 7: number of times my husband got intimate with a […]
So, as you can probably tell from the title, baseline ultrasound went well today. Dr. T, the other RE in the clinic, did the ultrasound, citing Dr. C’s absence due to vacation, even though last month’s ultrasound was done by a nurse. Or something. There are so many faces in our clinic, I’m not exactly […]
It all started with Zuzu’s Petals. A scene in a movie that got me to sit in front of my computer and vent to an imaginary audience. I never could have dreamed where it would lead, that it would lead to all of you. A year ago, we hadn’t yet started Hubby’s magic hMG injections, […]
The drugs arrived yesterday. I was going to write a post, complete with the obligatory drug/needle pictures, but you’ve all seen that before, right? So I’ll tell you about the appointment today instead. Today was the day we paid all the money to the clinic, got me hooked up with the transvag invader, and turned […]
