Second beta was 1166, doubling time of 38 hours! First ultrasound is scheduled for January 16th, at 7w2d. Here we go!

“Home” for Christmas + The Foray into NGP (4w5d)

I haven't spent a Christmas with my family in Colorado for 6 years, since La and I got serious and I started travelling with her to Indiana for the holiday. We went to Indy for every Christmas because we lived in the same state as my family and spent time with them regularly (and we...

Here Comes Tiny, 14dpIUI (4w)

We are in Denver for Christmas,  so I don't have time to write all of the things I am thinking about L being pregnant, but I wanted to update you all that we here at the Lyonch house are calling it: Gayby #2, who we are calling Tiny,  is due September 2, 2017.

Day 4, Month 21

Today is L’s day 4 of stims. According to bloodwork yesterday, things are going well. They dropped her dosage of menop.ur from 150IU to 75IU and I think her E2 was in the 600 range? When it’s not your blood they’re taking and your electronic chart, it’s easier not to obsess about the numbers. Or,...
