This wasn't the plan: July 2009
http://thiswasnttheplan.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 17, 2009. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You all give me strength! I feel pretty run down, but physically mostly okay. I'm planning on taking an ambien tonight as I slept most of today and don't want to be up all night. As long as I continue to feel alright, I'll probably be using some of my time off from work to visit my parents on Cape Cod.as well as drink a fair amount of wine. Thursday, July 16, 2009. Out of limbo and into a new kind of hell. With a wand up my chickie. All of that said...

This wasn't the plan: October 2008
http://thiswasnttheplan.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 27, 2008. I've been told that it is really the only change in my lifestyle that would improve my chances of conception - so what am I waiting for? Earlier this year I lost almost 20 pounds before IVF#1, and that did result in a pregnancy. Then I ate my way through the grief of the miscarriage and put back on about 13 of those pounds. So here I go again, battling my weight - life time battle that I wouldn't say I'm losing, but I'm not winning either. Will we try again? How many more times?

This wasn't the plan: January 2010

Tuesday, January 19, 2010. Still here, still freaking out. Just a quick update. I'm 16 weeks, everything is looking great. All measurements, ultrasounds and heartbeat checks have been perfect. We told our families the news on Christmas Eve and put everyone in a tail spin. No one was expecting this news, it was a lot of fun to watch the reactions, especially considering that we thought that the idea of a surprise pregnancy announcement was never going to happen.

This wasn't the plan: November 2008
http://thiswasnttheplan.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. So I saw one spot and declared yesterday cd1. Well, no such luck. Still awaiting for an out and out AF. Which will probably happen today, since it is a travel day and all, and the the first official day of our vacation. 12 minutes until the alarm.better go get ready to wake up! Saturday, November 29, 2008. CD 1 - at long last. Nurse: That would be so exciting! You should wait and surprise your husband at Thanksgiving dinner! Nurse: Oh, of course, I understand. So we are off tod...

This wasn't the plan: Mixed emotions
http://thiswasnttheplan.blogspot.com/2009/07/mixed-emotions.html
Thursday, July 2, 2009. Following the ultrasound I should have been thrilled. I should have run right home and posted my news. What did I do instead? It seems crazy to me that I feel like a Debbie Downer.and things are looking good! I have nothing but good news, but I remind myself that I have been here before and it all went to shit. I'm hoping that if we can get past eight weeks, I will loosen up a bit and actually say the words "I'm PG" (see.can't even write it). Can I be excited for you? Just me, dawn.

Saturday, July 11, 2009. That's what the chances are that this pregnancy is viable. Thursday's ultrasound was dismal. Both the ultrasound tech and the RE welcomed me with hugs and smiles.yay! Sure enough there is an embryo (measuring at least a week behind) with a heartbeat of 100bpm. What is the cutoff for a heart rate at this age you ask? The answer is 100 bpm. They took a few more measurements and then we met the RE in the conference room across the hall. July 12, 2009 at 9:44 PM. I Believe in Miracles.

Thursday, July 16, 2009. Out of limbo and into a new kind of hell. Today's ultrasound was traumatic. The news was as bad as we thought it might be.no heartbeat. But unfortunately that wasn't the worst of it. Let's just say that I will be communicating my experience with someone of authority. I was crying.bawling actually, after the news of no heartbeat, ultrasound wand still in place. The RE was patting my leg, and saying over and over "I'm so sorry". Being sensitive. With a wand up my chickie. Im so sor...

Friday, January 30, 2009. The pain of waiting *update*. I'm about to leave the house for beta #3. Unfortunately I have to have this lab work done at the local hospital, so I won't be able to look up my results.I'll have to do this the old fashioned way and wait for the nurse to call me! I'll post an update when I have it. Isn't it amazing how one little phone call can send you into a tailspin? Saturday, January 24, 2009. Did you miss me? Did you know I was gone? My next challenge is to stay in the moment...

Thursday, July 31, 2008. The following is a excerpt from one of my favorite books "The Book of Qualities" by Ruth Gendler. In this book, it personifies many different emotions and virtues. I stumbled across the book today and was flipping through it, looking for a little nugget of script that I might paint on my daughter's wall like "Truth is not willing to live without Love". Instead tonight I found myself drawn to reading this:. Monday, July 14, 2008. Adding Insult to Injury. With an IUD in place!
