Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.  I'm nervous!  I have butterflies like I'm about to go to the prom.  Tomorrow morning is my pregnancy test, and I'll have them deliver the news to my cell phone (turned...

I've been wanting to take a bath soooo badly, as my body and soul ache in anticipation of the pregnancy test.  I tried to take a nap but just began composing this poem in my head.  It's called...

Where did they get the expression "pain in the ass"?  I've developed a new appreciation for it. I now understand why they consider butt pain to be the ultimate pain to use in metaphors; it's so...

This morning there was blood on my sheets.  I raced to the bathroom, ripped off my underwear (and panty liner -- my husband with a smile of great satisfaction always asks me if I've put on my panty...

Yesterday I went to the doctor’s and not a single soul looked at my vagina.  Not once.  Not to mention not putting their hands in it or anything else that would fit.  The only violation I was...

I have never liked rollercoasters, and this one especially involves so many needles.We're on Day ... oh, who knows; maybe 4? ... since the transfer and I've embraced the moodiness wholeheartedly. ...

The embryo transfer went just fine.  The highlights: 1. Doc asked us at the last minute if we wanted 2 or 3 embryos.  I thought it was settled!  How could he ask me while I was on Valium?  We...

Monday morning I got my eggs sucked out of me.  We arrived at the doc's office at 8:30 and the procedure was to begin at 9:30.  On the 8:30 dot James got me a "sip" of water (he really didn't...

I wish they had a worried smiley face to depict my current mood.  It would have a horizontal line for the mouth and a furrowed brow over the two eye-dots.  The color would be the color of the New...

Last night we did our first "big guns" shots -- we started the follicle stimulation drugs.  For me, that meant 5 units of Lupron, 85 units of Menopur, and 200 units of Follistim.  Each had a...

Today is better than Sunday.  My baseline sonogram showing the cyst did not faze my doctor at all, so he said we'd crank up the meds and start making some eggs.  When the nurse called me in the...

I had a small disappointment today.  I say "small" because it shouldn't have been upsetting.  I say "disappointment" because it was. Today was Day 2 of my "menses," which meant I could move from...

Accupuncture made my ears bleed.  Not much, but it's worth saying because it sounds so dramatic. I have attended two accupuncture sessions now, in support of my IVF.  I don't think I allowed...

We did the first injection of Lupron last night.  My husband filmed it on our digital camera/video recorder, which is the only reason I actually had the guts to stab myself.  But the recording...
