    Tuesday, May 6, 2008 | An Anxious story

    So, we're finally getting somewhere with Reese (she began to walk a little bit again) and now my husband got a call from his doctor this morning that he needs to have a spinal tap and MRI to check out his head.  He recently had some bloodwork because he's been having terrible headaches (we assumed due to stress).  The nuerologist said that she is concerned about inflammation in ...

  • Holding My Breath

    Tuesday, December 9, 2008 | An Anxious story

    Yesterday at work a co-worker knocked on my office door at the end of the day.  She wanted to tell me about a dream she had last night that I was in.  She said it was so vivid that she thought it was real even after she woke up.  In her dream I was pregnant with twins; a boy and a girl.  Mind you this co-worker had no idea I am ttc, let alone using fertility drugs.  I cue...

    Ok, so yesterday I thought I was ovulating.  Today I went in to the RE's to see if I had any folies but it turns out I am PREGNANT.  Some how some way we ended up conceiving in the past four weeks after the D&C in early January.  I got my Beta numbers back and they were 1,566.  But my progesterone level was at a 2.  That's not good.  I have to go in every...

    Thursday, April 23, 2009 | An Anxious story

    I can't sleep.  It is 3 am here and my husband woke me from a restless, nightmare ridden slumber  He didn't mean to; he just got up to go to the bathroom  But alone with the world quite the fear is creeping in.  You see, I triggered 2 weeks ago.  I have been trying to work myself up to schedule my beta.  I haven't made it to a beta in about a year.  ...

    I have not written in this journal for a while now.  So I think it's time I updated it.  Honestly, I think I am going to have an anxiety attack every time I come on DS.  It breaks my heart when I hear of another DS lady going through MC and still struggling with infertility.  The other day I think it was about two days ago, one of my friends on DS is friends with anot...
