Famous last words

Last night I thought to myself, "I don't think I'm gonna experience the clomadness! Lucky me!" This morning La said I looked like a princess and I about ripped her a hole in her head. Just now I walked into the theater to see a show by La's theater company and the house manger confronted...

Words I’ve Had to Teach Auto Correct

 Some I would have expected:spermiesdexemethesoneTTCIUIMetforminOPK Some, I was more surprised by:spermovulate (although ovulation, apparently, was there)inseminationovaries (penis and vagina were also not in there) Still others were shockingly already in the autocorrect dictionary:Clomid I have also taught my phone to capitalize Texas Ranger. In other news . . .got the call back (yes, I willed it into existance/made enough...

Hold steady.

Clearly, I am a product of a digital age because I have not a single modicum of patience. It has been just under a week since they drew blood to re-test for high blood sugar/insulin/glucose levels (this time after fasting) and I feel f**king crazy. I'm trying to rationalize my bratty inability to wait with...

Just long enough. Or, hope revisited.

The blood drip drip dropped for two days but never flowed enough to end up on my underwear all on its own, the definition of day 1 according to my doctor and my acupuncturist. Until today. This is just long enough to put me out of town in a slightly better part of my cycle...

Looking at the next cycle starting somewhere between the 24th and the 28th of September (CD41-45) So we are waiting to wait to wait. This distance from the process while still actively contributing to it is surprisingly nice. This must be...

And it begins.

Dear Prometrium,I still have to work 8 hours a day, so if you could hold off on the nausea until I'm home, that would be awesome. That said, I suppose I appreciate the morning-sickness training.Love,Andie

Looking up. Or at least out.

I am feeling about a thousand times more grounded than I was just a few days ago. With that, my heavy heart and dragging soul have lifted. I feel more hopeful than I have in weeks.To start, I made the decision to spend what very little discretionary income we currently have on two books -...

Bust.

Its been a helluva week. Today is cycle day 22, still no positive OPK. After the almost-the-same test on Tuesday morning, I got almost no line at all on Tuesday evening. Wednesday morning I got another dark-but-not-positive and then . . .of course, no line Wednesday night. My cervical fluid has followed a similar, although...
