I think the naps are starting. Saturday morning I got up and went right back to bed until noon. Sunday I worked for 12 hours straight on a quilt that went to a woman starting chemo this week. ...

I'm very happy to say that I got my period today!  How often am I happy about that? That means that in two days I get to have an ultrasound... it's been almost a week!  And some bloodwork - that's...

He's the best.   Today we went through with our plan to transition our shots from evening to morning.  So I took my Lupron at 3:00 p.m.  It's the first time I've had a shot without James being in...

I've been pouring heart and soul into my blog (www.achievingconceiving.blogspot.com) because now that I started, I just keep coming up with things I NEED the outside world to know.  It's really...

Oh, my friends, I feel I have just cheated on you.  I copied my last journal entry and posted it on my new blog: www.AchievingConceiving.blogspot.com.  Please come visit whenever you want, and know...

Long ago I used to call them "breasts."  Now that I am married and have succumbed to the influence of my husband, I call them "boobies."   Now that I'm on my second IVF, and with a different...

Sadness is so sticky.  Of all the emotions I've had today, sadness just showed up and stuck around.  I got an email from a pregnant friend.  Why can't I be pregnant?  I've tried so hard.

Infertility is such a complicated topic, with medical, emotional, financial, and geneaological implications, that everybody reacts to it differently. It's very touching to see my parents trying to...

The pregnancy test was negative, of course.    We went by the drugstore on the way home yesterday, and James surreptitiously put the bag containing the test in the cabinet in the downstairs...

I got my period today.  Here is why that's no good: 1) It's only Day 24.  I usually run long, not short. 2) My upcoming-period pimples only just showed up today.  They usually show up a week...

My friend Carolynn, the mother of my Godsons, wrote me back when I sent her a copy of the journal entry I'd written about her a few days ago.  This is what she said, and what I say in response is,...

I should not be allowed to do anything.  A dear friend sent me some brownies, and much to my appreciation and approval, my husband hid them after I'd had a handful. Today I have been looking at...

After their first IVF, Ashley and her husband went on a vacation to New York that they "couldn't afford not to take."  My 36-hour trip to New Hampshire this weekend was just like that.  Though I...

Earlier this week I was thrown into a fit of anguish when something my husband said lit a flicker of hope in me.  Yesterday, after we met and signed up with the new RE, we were feeling hopeful in a...

I've been thinking a lot about getting into shape, specifically into the shape of the models on J.Jill's website.  As I look at those clothes, I find that what I really want to order from their...
