The other day when I was bound and determined to take my clothes off, my mom bought me three maternity outfits at Target.  All jet black.  Today I'm wearing the pants, with a big sweater that...

Today I moved from focusing on the details of the process (sleepiness, shots, clothes) to the Big Fear out there: that it won't work.  I went for my monitoring appointment and whereas on Saturday...

Yesterday the meds made me mad.  As in "crazy."  A little after lunch I decided I could not stand my waist band any more.  I had already deemed this week "knit pants week" because my belly was...

I just want to write how sad I am for Ashley today, as she had to endure the sight of yet another (well two) pregnancy test showing a big fat stupid negative.  It's just unfathomable how the world's...

I had the most brutal bloodletting this morning.  I went in for blood and ultrasound monitoring, and as usual, the nurse had trouble finding my vein.  Usually they have to look around for another...

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...
