OK, T, I'm putting up the photos!
We had an amazing time with our family. We spent the entire weekend relaxing, coming and going at a leisurely pace, eating, drinking, playing games, dancing, listening to music, telling stories, watching old family movies. It was as great a time as I can remember having. The weather was perfect, my uncle and his wife outdid themselves in making us feel welcome...4 Recommendations7 Comments -

Oh what a miraculous sight! As soon as the RE put the wand in up popped two babies one doing somersaults and the other pulling some tae bo moves with his/her hands and legs. It was the coolest thing ever. After awhile the somersaulter started opening his mouth and we could see it's whole face. The RE said he was probably drinking. Yuck (they are peeing in that fluid!) ...1 Recommendation8 Comments

Somehow despite all of the loss, let-downs, grief, and just plain bad luck, I just can't shake this feeling of hope. I am feeling so positive. Maybe I am setting myself up for another monumental fall. I just really feel different this month. I am not sure if it was in a moment of clarity or insanity, but I almost took a HPT today. I know better than that; I am no...1 Recommendation10 Comments

I got the initial part of my protocol yesterday. I was really excited and wrote a long journal entry from my cell phone, which did not save of course. Essentially my next few weeks are filled with appointments and prep work. It is going to make for an interesting last 2 weeks of working (I work in a school).
SHG/"trial transfer" and viral blood work are scheduled f...1 Recommendation13 Comments -

When I started this journey about a year an a half ago with my RE, I was afraid to ever have to face the possibility of IVF. Now I am here and feel more excited than I would have ever anticipated.
We met with the RE and everything is signed. I go in on Monday to meet with my IVF nurse to go over all of the big scary medications and to write out that big scary check. A litt...1 Recommendation16 Comments -
I went for my baseline u/s and blood work this morning and everything looks "perfect". Of course I don't feel perfect, unless you mean perfectly BLAH (excited and happy mind you, still blah). The Lupron shots don't seem to agree with me. I know many have it worse than I do. Just this constant headache, occasional dizziness, forgetfulness, and mild bouts o...1 Recommendation14 Comments

Exhaling a giant sigh.
I feel so much better now. I got word that all 4 of my embies are still developing. I go in tomorrow for my ET.
I think the rest of this journey will be a piece of cake after this. My hands are still shaking. I had a sleepless night, partially nerves and partially mild hyper-stimulation. Around 5 am lack of sleep ushered the crazies i...1 Recommendation18 Comments
