Baby Odyssey: July 2006
http://babyodyssey.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
A journey to the centre of my soul (well, my womb anyway). Saturday, July 29, 2006. The biospy that wasn't meant to hurt. Why is it never as it is supposed to be? Then the actual cutting of my endometrium was ok -a sharp, painful cut but so quick it was fine.it had been the cervix widening battle that was so awful. He wheeled me into recovery and I felt drained and violated and just awful. I cried to A - I was fed up. That was the final investigative miscarriage test i had to have. They're all over.

Baby Odyssey: October 2006
http://babyodyssey.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
A journey to the centre of my soul (well, my womb anyway). Tuesday, October 24, 2006. Our perfect and precious little baby girl. I called our RE to get the results of the karyotype test. It was 9am. I was about to have an acupuncture appointment. I was feeling quite contained and had prepared myself to hear that it was a chromosomally normal embryo. And it was. His words were "the embryo was chromosomally normal". I asked for reasons, explanations .then.why.how come? It was a girl". She had been my fanta...

He was clear he would give this cycle the best chance and so we thawed another.an hour later.by which time, I'd thoroughly investigated the lab equipment, understood the process in the kind of detail i like.we were ready.the new embryo was doing very well and we proceeded.they were in at 4.30ish. Posted by Nicky at 12:26 PM. Links to this post. Tuesday, August 22, 2006. And today she would have been 80.

Baby Odyssey: April 2006
http://babyodyssey.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
A journey to the centre of my soul (well, my womb anyway). Saturday, April 29, 2006. It's 3.51am. I wish i were fast asleep next to A surrounded by our beloved two dogs (R and B) dreaming deeply. Instead im snacking on pistacchios, starting this blog. Why couldnt I sleep? Why cant they find something wrong? Why do we keep miscarrying? If our embryos are good quality maybe we should consider surrogacy? I wish A were awake too. When do we need to start considering options like this? Thats how it is for now.

A journey to the centre of my soul (well, my womb anyway). Sunday, May 29, 2011. Well hullo there.it's been years. Through another avenue completely I stumbled across my old blog.reread some posts and felt utter compassion for me then, the pain I felt, the trauma I carried. Wow - it was another time, another place and I can thankfully report that our prayers were answered. We were blessed. So blessed. I thank God we are parents and we have a family.

A journey to the centre of my soul (well, my womb anyway). Wednesday, May 31, 2006. I was scared, shitting myself in fact. I remembered the last retrieval and the injections into each ovary were not fun at all. So this morning arrived, my gorgeous friend D picked me up and off we went. A was working all night and would meet me there in full surgical gear. OUCH and more ouch! It stung.Ive got a tough old vagina but it doesnt like injections and nor do my ovaries. RE appeared to inform us we had 14. He...

Baby Odyssey: June 2006

A journey to the centre of my soul (well, my womb anyway). Friday, June 30, 2006. The dogs kept coming in, getting soap suds on their noses and leaving only to return 5 mins later. A is making a yummy dinner and thank god its the w'end and I have two days to bleed and try and recover. I am at least pleased that finally ive started to bleed. I think once its leaving physically, i can start to shift emotionally and try to move on from this. Posted by Nicky at 7:21 PM. Links to this post. Links to this post.

A journey to the centre of my soul (well, my womb anyway). Saturday, September 30, 2006. I've looked it up on the net and spoken to a few people and all have said it is at this stage normal. Today i felt seedy too. Im on chinese herbs which could be assisting with nausea but i havent had full on morning sickness - i know thats not necessarily a bad sign but at this stage .im anxious. This year though since I am pregnant I do not have to fast. Posted by Nicky at 8:32 PM. Links to this post. I burst into t...
