Well my temperature went up and no, er, physical signs of a period. But shit do I feel like it is coming. I just wonder when I get to wear the scarlet “i”. How many failed cycles does it take to declare yourself infertile? I dare anyone to not take this kind of stuff personally. [...]

It is perfect. Have it on repeat. Bought a box of tampons at target this morning. Just in case. Also got pale yellow mums to take to my Grandfather’s grave. I am convinced now that I am not pregnant and already trying to fluff the emotional support pillows I know I will need. I’m working [...]

I am doing all that I can to be patient. Sipping on mint tea. Did some yoga this morning. Meditated outside listening to the early morning birds. Now I am trying to lull my mind away by listening to some Bach. (Prelude in C Sharp Minor from the Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1… to be specific) [...]

Progesterone # is 52. Now the rational side of my brain is saying, ‘Well that is a nice number, but it doesn’t confirm a pregnancy.” I hear you rational side of my brain, loud & clear. However. The hopeful side of my brain is going, “Holy fucking SHIT! That is a ginormous #! How could [...]

Leaving in 10 minutes to go to the Baby Making Clinic for some blood work. It seems early to get this blood work when I am only 5dpo…but heck, anything to get answers early. A # above 15 is what we are pulling for. Even tho’ a high # doesn’t = pregnancy…a low # certainly [...]

Admiral barked at chipmunks all fucking night. I am in no condition to post. But yet here I am, unwilling to break this routine. At one point my Mother joined me outside trying to quiet the Admiral. In between screams of, “Be Quiet!” & “Hush Puppy!” she turned to me & grinned. “Just think. When [...]

I was ready to do it. It took me about 15 minutes to make sure I was mixing the powder and getting the proper dosage. I was rubbing an ice cube at the freckle were I was planing on aiming. Then something wonderful happened. My Mother came home. My Mother who has MS & at [...]

Yes. It is time to be graphic & clear: the above pictured device will be up my poonani tomorrow morning. I am feeling ridiculously giddy about tomorrow. I think it will be a little early for the HCG (ovulation trigger) shot, but I am hoping that I will have a good number of good sized [...]

Hurrah. Woo Hoo! Victory Dance! My ovaries performed beautifully. (way to go, girls!) The technicican told me that everything was 90% clear. The 10% of stuff was described as, “just your basic hanging out little follicles.” Ok. I’m fine with them hanging out. As long as they don’t open a mini mall & create a [...]
