The above photo was an attempt to take an arty farty picture of my dark eye shadows. They are naturally dark, but this look had some help from some left over eye makeup. So goth. The deed is done. My 11th IUI. Now all I need to do is sit back, relax, and get knocked [...]
So this morning’s ultra sound wasn’t quite as splendid as I had hoped. I’ve got one of those ovary hogging follicles on the right side and it hasn’t let the other kiddies grow much. I’m down with an aggressive 18mm whopper as long as it delivers. But one of the primmo reasons for doing injectables [...]
So I have just returned home after my cycle day 11 ultra sound and bloodwork. Good news people, I now have another contender. In a previous episode of the Bold & the Ovaries I seemed to just have the pretty conservative dude on the right. Let’s call him Ronnie. But this morning’s episode reveals that [...]
There is nothing quite as informative as having the head of the fertility clinic come in on a weekend to perform your ultra sound scan. I thought the chatty nurse was chatty. Dr. Letterhead was like the micromachine dude. I have always felt like a spectator at the floor show during ultra sounds but this [...]
Hell is having no internet connection. As I write this it has been nearly 30 hours since I have been able to get online. That is 30 hours that I have not been able to read e-mails, write e-mails, update my blog, read blogs, read the NY Times on-line, check my bank account status, update [...]
Great news, campers. My ultrasound was just as it should have been: all clear. I got to the clinic a bit late due to a freak el nino type storm that came out of no where and lasted for most of my 55 minute commute. I don’t mind driving in the rain at all. But [...]
It is 5:30am (ugh) and I am about to leave for my baseline bloodwork and ultrasound. Hoping everything is just as it should be & that I leave the clinic with a fist full of free follistim. (how’s that for early morning alliteration?) Will update once I get back. (but really regretting chowing on garlic [...]
At last I am at cycle day one. yay!!! I have a baseline ultra sound and bloodwork scheduled for 7:00am Monday. I should start follistim injectables that evening. I should be knocked up in 12-15 days. Can you stand it? I am surrendering to the power of positive thinking. I am the little poonani that [...]
So I wrote back to my R.E. basically saying that I would be ready to try again in March. Here is what he said: [Calliope], If you are ready to pick up the ball and run with it, then we are behind you all the way!! [two exclamation points? over kill, dude.] I reviewed your [...]
