The Young and the Infertile: December 2007
http://theyoungandtheinfertile.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 31, 2007. 2007: The Year that Wasn't. I am sick of lists about 2007, just like I was sick of lists about 2006. There are so many 2007 lists out there that they are actually generating more news than probably happened in 2007. There are also the anti-list lists which are still lists. I choose to do something different to memorialize 2007. I'm going to do it by the numbers. Number of times I laughed: thousands. Number of times I cried: hundreds. Number of plants I killed: less than 5.

The Young and the Infertile: Mind the Gap
http://theyoungandtheinfertile.blogspot.com/2008/06/mind-gap.html
Thursday, June 12, 2008. I have a gap in between my two front teeth. It's not particularly noticeable (unless you are me, who notices it all. the. time). It used to be a much larger gap, but thanks to the magic - and pain - of orthodontics, it is now a dainty little thing at the bottom of the teeth that leaves curious bite patterns in apples. I am 32 and Mr. X just turned 35. There is a gap of three years in our ages. First, it is to recognize that there is a gap - there will always be a gap between what...

The Young and the Infertile: April 2008
http://theyoungandtheinfertile.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 29, 2008. Off With His Head! Well, it would seem that my Inner Drama Queen likes it here in la-la-land and has once again appeared. Maybe it's a Tuesday thing. Maybe it's just that time of year. Or, maybe I'm genuinely losing it and she's taking over a la Jekyll and Hyde. Suffice it to say that I have found myself wanting to yell, "Off with his head! Several times today. Honestly, no one. All of this peevishness (I. No monitoring. The bad news? And this is just during the mock cycle! Climb...

The Young and the Infertile: Inconceivable
http://theyoungandtheinfertile.blogspot.com/2008/06/inconceivable.html
Monday, June 23, 2008. Despite my outwardly blase appearance toward 'trying' this month - me trying to get pregnant? So, on Sunday morning when I noticed some spotting, I knew that once again I was thwarted and we would be back on Dr. Uterus's roster of Unfortunate Infertile Couples. What a silly infertile girl you are, thinking that you could get knocked up like everyone else. Don't you know that you're Special (and not in a good way)? Such is the internal monologue of an Infertile Girl. And, just for s...

The Young and the Infertile: March 2008
http://theyoungandtheinfertile.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2008. I also made the mistake of looking at my records for my other D&C. A week after the procedure, my HCG was a whopping 350! Of course, the baby died about two weeks before we had the procedure, so during that time, I'm sure I did some serious dropping. In the end, it still took me 6 weeks to make it to below 5. Yikes. Why does this bother me? I'm pregnant and I didn't need you to get that way! I won't bother to discuss how ironic this is. I'm at the point of just shaking my head.

The Young and the Infertile: November 2007
http://theyoungandtheinfertile.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 29, 2007. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to My HSG. As you may have guessed from the title, I went in for my HSG. Today Dr. Uterus always does these at the hospital to which his office is attached because his office doesn't have the facilities to do x-rays. The hospital, which is religious, requires you to check in even if you are having a simple procedure, like an HSG. The last time I had my HSG. And the have to perform the final rites? The greatest improvement is that they now hav...

The Young and the Infertile: May 2008
http://theyoungandtheinfertile.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 31, 2008. I've come to realize that waiting and anticipating are rather shallow activities. They are passive, like letting life wash over you rather than getting out the door and doing something. There is the temptation to view filling up the time with activities as distraction. I think in fact, that it should be classified as living, not distracting yourself while waiting. Would be getting this message). So, for me, what does it mean to start living again? Well, it means making plans witho...

The Young and the Infertile: Maybe I'm Not as Erudite as I Thought I Was

Friday, June 13, 2008. Maybe I'm Not as Erudite as I Thought I Was. We interrupt this regularly scheduled blog to bring you this announcement:. Are you freaking kidding me? I use SAT words people! I write for a living! I use freaking multisyllabic words (including multisyllabic)! Obviously, my pride has been ruffled, my feathers strewn. Do you agree with this dear reader? Can this possibly be correct? Labels: not much of anything. June 13, 2008 at 6:19 PM. June 13, 2008 at 6:28 PM. The test has to be fla...

The Young and the Infertile: The Whole Sordid Story, Part I
http://theyoungandtheinfertile.blogspot.com/2007/09/from-top-pre-asr.html
Wednesday, September 19, 2007. The Whole Sordid Story, Part I. So, how did we get here? We got married in 2003 and decided to start trying for a baby in 2005. By the time we left for vacation that year, I finished my last birth control pill and we were giddy at the thought of having completely unprotected, baby-making sex. Needless to say, we had a great vacation. Taking Charge of Your Fertility. By Toni Weschler. I dutifully got my copy and was wowed at how little I really knew. I didn't like the RE at ...
