I’ve spent a lot of time day dreaming and plotting what I would do if I found out I was pregnant. I’m sure many of us have those fantasies of how we will tell our friends, our parents, the blogosphere. In my head there is an entire warehouse of such hopes. It’s getting kind of [...]

Sometimes, as humans, we do dumb things. Like when your new cheap black lounge pants from JC Penn*y arrive you completely disregard the note to “wash before wear”. Lame. Who washes new clothes? So today I slipped on my new lounge pants. They felt great and didn’t cling to my injection bloat at all. I [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
It’s official, I am the friggen Easter Bunny. This morning’s ultrasound revealed that I have 6 follicles of good size. & Since I have learned my lesson I made them tell me the size. Oh, if only they were cadbury… Left ovary follicles: Five of good size: 17.5mm, 16mm, 14mm, 14.3mm, 13mm Right ovary follicle: [...]
