Negative. Like a punch in the stomach my UPT this morning was negative. Handsome and I have decided to try the combined superovulation/IUI cycle one more time before moving on to IVF. "Ring around the rosy, pocketfull of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down."
So only two more days until my UPT and I am both excited and terrified. I hope with all my heart that it comes back positive but am terrified that it will not and that I will be crushed. Last week, my first week at my new job, did help keep my thoughts occupied. The group of people that I work with are all really nice and it ...
This is just a short status update. Half way there, only 1 week before I take my UPT so keep your fingers crossed for me. If you haven't checked out my Kindle corner below I highly recommend you check out the current book before I replace it with my newest book. The book is Quiet:The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop ...
So I did a lot of couch sitting yesterday. Even though it isn't required by the procedure, Handsome and I thought we would be best off with me relaxing and laying on the couch after the procedure. Yesterday, Tuesday, at 9am was my scheduled IUI, Intra-uterine insemination. The actual technique used was FSP, fallopian tube sperm pe...
I know, I know.. I promised to update you guys yesterday but Handsome wanted my attention all day! He didn't necessarily need me to talk to him or anything he just wanted me to be with him and so I got no computer time yesterday. So this will be a longer post to make up for the delay and catch you guys up on what is happening in our liv...
Just wanted to drop a quick not before I go and cuddle with Handsome on the couch. At the doctor's office today I had 3 follicles on the right and two on the left. Some were perfect size and some a little smaller. The doctor said we could trigger tonight or tomorrow but if we triggered tomorrow we might get 3 eggs instead of two.&...
Aaack! The sides of my arms down to the sides of my back are so sore! Sparkles killed me on Tuesday with a series of exercises on the rings (like olympic style rings!) followed by dead lifts, shoulder raises, chest press and then the roman chair. If that wasn't enough in weight class on Wednesday I thought I would be fine since mo...
Good morning! Today I am 54 lbs lighter than I was a year ago. In just 2 Health Point cycles I have lost 22 lbs. and the second cycle isn't over yet!! I have been sick this week so no voice, no out door excursions no real walking but I'm still losing weight. Since today of last year I have taken off 11.5 inches from my...
So I've gone crazy again. I know, it's not really a long trip for me. :) Wednesday we went for a walk at Rose Canyon near our home and before we even really entered the park I was an emotional mess. I was crying and angry and not really sure why. As I talked it out with my husband I found that the prerecorded message t...
Over the last ten years, and honestly longer, I have been concerned that I would not be able to get pregnant or have kids in any way. I have obviously proven some of this to be inaccurate, yet the fear persists. I will be turning 40 this year. While some of my closest friends have had their first children at 41 years of age, I a...
This blog is about surviving infertility or being less fertile than most. It is a place to get some information from a person who has been there and practically moved in. Hope is still available for anyone who needs it. I offer information about my own story as well as research that I do from reading book, talking to doctors and other women who have had struggles in this realm as well.
