Most of you do not know this but 2 years ago I sprained my right knee playing softball. Nothing too bad, just your twisted muscles wrapped all around your knee cap and all crazy. So anyways I went through therapy to get back to normal so I could play ball again. Well about a month after the doctor released me I slipped in a puddle of water at a restuarant, the lighting was ...

Sometimes it is the small victories that give you the greatest joy. I am ridiculously happy today! Something has gone very right. I have been SO busy lately I missed all of the signs. But this morning when I woke up I had that old familiar ache. I couldn't believe it! My cycle started exactly on time, as it should have, all by itself.
I had been ...1 Recommendation11 Comments -
I guess I am officially in a 2ww now. It is kind of an odd feeling and in a way I would consider this my first real 2ww. This is the first time I have been able to confirm ovulation. I know my chances of this working are slim, but they are much greater than in previous months. I can't help but to have hopeful thoughts about one (or possibly two) babies drifting around ...2 Recommendations10 Comments

As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess! I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok. When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...4 Recommendations23 Comments

I start Provera again after finding out I did not ovulate. My follies just "disappeared". My RE thinks they shrunk but I'm not going to get hung up on the details.
CD 3-7 I'll be on 200mg Clomid. I really feel positive that we could be on the right track now. I responded to the 150 of Clomid, but I think I started it too early and I also think it wasn't quite enough.
I have s...1 Recommendation14 Comments -
I got the call from the RE's office this morning and of the 19 embryos retrieved yesterday 16 were mature. And ALL 16 fertilized! I can't even believe it. There are so many more hoops to jump through, but I have never had such initial success. 100% fertilization. I know that might not seem like a big deal to some, but it's absolutely amazing to me. ...1 Recommendation8 Comments

Sometimes life lessons come in the most unusual places at the most random of times.
This weekend I dragged my husband out shopping. He was a good sport through the grocery store, the pet store, Target, and yes, even the much dreaded mall. He was such a good boy and I suggested that he selected where we went to lunch. He decided we would try the ne...1 Recommendation17 Comments -
I guess my theory about my feeling happier the higher my estrogen gets is true. By Saturday I should be ecstatic.
When I went in for my u/s it was early and still dark. The full moon illuminated everything in a surreal way. Everything seems so peaceful and very different. After they took my blood I was escorted to a waiting room I had never been in before. It w...1 Recommendation9 Comments -
I am completely exhausted! The days between retrieval and transfer were some of the most stressful days I have ever had in my entire life. Now with embies back where they belong I can relax and think positive thoughts until 7/20 when my beta is scheduled. Right now, I am pregnant!
Of the 4 embryos 1 was a perfect 8-cell and one was a strong 5-cell. The other 2 were not as g...1 Recommendation26 Comments -
