infertility reality: let's get physical
http://infertilityreality.blogspot.com/2009/10/lets-get-physical.html
Friday, October 9, 2009. Had a physical this week. Nearly a year since my last one which was for our adoption home study. So, I'm getting a Rx for Vitamin D. Doc says what you get OTC isn't enough to make a difference so I need an Rx. She also wants to put me on Lipitor (both of my parents are on cholesterol lowering meds). But. But, I ask, what happens if I get pregnant and I'm taking Lipitor? Stop taking it immediately? No Not allowed to take it if I think I may get pregnant. Take Lipitor and give up?

infertility reality: March 2010
http://infertilityreality.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Our journey has changed course. We are being given 14 embryos by a donor couple. Yes, you read that right. And, yes, I am still in shock. We have been to see my old RE, and I've had a check up and I am good to go. We are currently working on transferring the legal possession of the embryos into our care. I hope to have my first FET cycle in the next month or two. I am SO excited, there are no words. We are so touched by the generosity and thoughtfulness of the donors. Nelle and...

Thursday, February 26, 2009. Before you are allowed to adopt, you have to go through an extensive Home Study, so why not have something similar for people who want to have IVF. (especially if they already have several children.). Links to this post. A guest post: So What Am I? From my friend and fellow blogger Alicia:. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for six and a half years. Coupled with endometriosis, infertility and miscarriages, we have yet to have a child. Links to this post. I am g...

infertility reality: June 2009
http://infertilityreality.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2009. 44 and without child. The natural progression of things is to get married and have kids. Usually one is in their 20s or 30s when this happens. In doing so, one's focus turns from one's self to one's child or children. I am 44, and still without child. My grandma was this age when I was born. How will we save for retirement when our child is going to college when we are 60-something. Will I EVER retire? Again, I feel like I'm being punished. But I have no idea what I did wron...

infertility reality: 5 or 10
http://infertilityreality.blogspot.com/2009/06/6-or-11.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2009. I feel like we've been waiting F O R E V E R to adopt. I count from the day we decided to adopt last July. Our social worker says we can only count from the date our home study was finalized because prior to that we were not eligible to adopt. phooey! Not to mention the 8 plus years before that when we were TTC. It just has been F O R E V E R and I'm SO ready to be a mom. WHERE IS MY CHILD? Some days I just GOTTA let it out.). June 17, 2009 at 2:23 PM. A Family is Born. Sadly, n...

infertility reality: neglect
http://infertilityreality.blogspot.com/2010/02/neglect.html
Monday, February 1, 2010. Well, thanks to Hua for the kick in the ass ;) I'd totally forgotten about this blog. So the update on my foot . . . original diagnosis was INCORRECT, I have a fractured heel, and have had since October 2008. I have been in a cast now since October 2009. Which means no exercise, which means I've gained back 7 of the 20 lbs. I lost last year. I can only lose weight if I exercise (due to the PCOS). I have a plan. Get a new job. Move if necessary for new job. Still hoping I'll magi...

Sunday, May 31, 2009. Haven't read it, but thought some of my readers might wanna check it out. I'll let you know if I read it, you let me know if you've read it! But right now I'm trying "non research" reading ;). A (Barren) Woman Gets Busy, Angry, Lost and Found. By Pamela Mahoney Tsigdinos. What happens when a couple can't conceive after years of trying? What awaits two people who want to be parents, as they move away from the fertility treatment/adoption/mommy-and-daddy track? Links to this post.
