Quick post as a nap is calling my name in a sweet, sweet way. I had a good talk with the RE before ER and we went over my chances for an embryo transfer. The clinic’s policy is: “over 5000 E2 and/or over 30 eggs retrieved equals no transfer.” As I was borderline with E2 [...]

Well clearly I was just getting all smug and cozy thinking this IVF was now in the smooth sailing genre. Can’t have that, now can we? NEC just called. Looks like I will not be allowed to transfer anything as my E2 is too high (4916) & I run a high risk for OHSS. I [...]

And all the through house, not a creature was stirring, except maybe Calliope wishing she was soused. The yoga pants were hung by the bedside with care, in the hopes that her expanding gut would soon fit in there.

I feel like my temples are individual schoolroom grade pencil sharpeners and every time the handle cranks a #2 pencil pokes me in the eye. All very lovely. The radio stations were only playing [...]

Today my ovaries feel like giant grapefruits. It is not what you might call a pleasant sensation. But it does please my need for proof that stuff is going on in there. To distract myself from grapefruit gazing I ran out & rented three videos from the rental shop down the street. All sequels. (Harry [...]

Today is a big day for poking. It started with the obvious morning menopur injection and then there was the morning blood-work and then the morning ultrasound. Next up will be my very first acupuncture session followed by some evening special time with lupron and bravelle. For a single girl I sure am getting some [...]

I am notorious in NEC’s blood draw room. This was the scene of one of my biggest break downs in October. I was the girl hysterically crying as her blood was drawn (for the retest) and trying to say between sobs that I just couldn’t have Hep C. I was causing such a scene that [...]
