Adding Peas to Our Pod: They're in... wait wait wait
http://addingpeas.blogspot.com/2011/02/theyre-in-wait-wait-wait.html
Adding Peas to Our Pod. Sunday, February 6, 2011. They're in. wait wait wait. On Saturday, we awoke in the dark to a drizzly day, and headed into the office for our transfer at 7:00am. When we arrived, we still did not know anything other than that four had fertilized. Nothing about how things had been developing. Nothing. Was a bit nervewracking. Next we went into the transfer room, and they opened this little window into the lab, and asked for my paperwork to let us know the status. By the way, I'm a t...

Adding Peas to Our Pod: March 2010

Adding Peas to Our Pod. Sunday, March 28, 2010. Follicular Stimulation with Serophene and IUI, take 1. As expected, the phantom pangs were just that. Phantom. So, we're starting our first round of IUI. Am I prepared? Follicular Stimulation with Serophene - Check! Started last night on cycle day 3. Ultrasound scheduled - Check! It will happen on cycle day 9 (Good Friday) since my last cycle only lasted 23 days, and the originally recommended day 12 may be too late. Trigger shot - Check! You are gas, right?

Adding Peas to Our Pod. Wednesday, May 5, 2010. On Saturday, I went out to lunch with a friend. Had a great lunch! I live in the midwest, and we've only been here a couple years. I don't make close friends quickly. It's also never my first instinct to ask for help. Ever. Stupid independent streak! Instead of calling someone, I read about the health care bill in Time magazine until the doctor came in. When he told me my husband's heart was fine - clean and clear arteries, good blood flow - I let out t...

Adding Peas to Our Pod: Is 5 the magic number?
http://addingpeas.blogspot.com/2011/02/is-5-magic-number.html
Adding Peas to Our Pod. Wednesday, February 2, 2011. Is 5 the magic number? All in all, I feel good about the way things went today. My RE got 5 eggs - 4 good and mature, and 1 small. So, the small one is our bonus. I thought they would put me completely under anesthesia for the procedure, but they didn't. I took my valium at 6:15 this AM, arrived at the RE lab at 6:45, and was all gowned up with my booties on by 7:00. Now we wait to see what fertilizes, and what we have to work with for transfer. Wh...

Heading towards the wrong side of 35 with no baby in sight. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. 3 Application Suggestions for Facebook. There you are, scrolling along down the "Top News" on your Facebook account, and BAM! There's nothing like getting blindsided by a pregnancy announcement or picture on your favorite social media network, is there? And apologies in advance if anyone finds this offensive or insensitive as I poke some harmless fun at the state of infertility.). 1 The Pregnancy Announcement Filter.

Adding Peas to Our Pod. Saturday, February 27, 2010. Evil trickery. That's what it is. Evil trickery! Why is it that the signs of pregnancy are the same as the signs of a period coming? On one hand, I am nearly 100% certain I am not pregnant. Dr. B (Urologist) told us it would take a miracle. On the other hand, my hopeful side wants to believe in that miracle. Is it stupid to take a pregnancy test just to remind myself it didn't happen? Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Time to Tighten the Belt. BUT, when it...

Adding Peas to Our Pod. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Thank you for the congratulations - we are SO excited. :) That excitement was tempered yesterday, though, with spotting. So frustrating! I finally allowed myself to get excited on Monday, called my family, shared the news - and got on quite the high. Then, yesterday, red spotting. Aaargggghhhhh! Then, I took a pregnancy test this morning, and while it was positive, the line was a little lighter than last time. What the heck does that mean? Which means...
