What a whirlwind past few days. Wednesday I got a call telling me thyroid levels were high. The proposed solution is to cut down on meds and call when I get pregnant. I am concerned but hopeful that it means nothing. Thursday I speak to the RE, who basically tells me that if the levels [...]
After some “what if but yeah right” spotting yesterday, CD 1 officially began today. Which meant a trip to the RE for an ultrasound and plan making. We are going to do an HSG next week just to be sure everything is in working order and use this next month as a diagnostic month with [...]
But it sure FEELS like it sometimes. As friends consider ttc or begin to ttc or start families of their own because they don’t need to ttc, I find myself in this race that I did not realize I was going to run. It was true before we decided to take the steps to try [...]
It’s 16 DPO and while my period was due today and hasn’t shown yet, I think it’s about time to call it. I tested on Friday (13 DPO), Saturday (14 DPO), and this morning. And, honestly, tonight. And they were all stark white blank. Can’t a girl even get an evaporation line? My cervix, which [...]
And thus begins a new cycle, even if part of me still wants to believe it’s some kind of fluke bleeding :-/ So the boobs, the nausea were nothing apparently and the cramps and spotting I never get were cruel precursors to today, which, despite being beautiful outside, has also included C needing to go [...]
Substitute thermometer fell on floor in middle of night. Substitute thermometer did Not beep when I pushed the button this am. Despite whacking it on a radiator (my father’s solution for all manner of broken electronic), which turned the temp to Celsius, substitute thermometer no longer functions. It’s ok, I wasn’t looking forward to this [...]
(Okay, so this not really a question of the week at all, more a statement of minor angst) So the past few mornings, my temperature has been higher than I would have expected. Whatever, temperatures are weird like that. This morning, at 6:45 am, I used my trusty thermometer and it read 97.45. For me, [...]
In the land of less pleasant things that will make you go “ouch” (and possibly curse a few times) comes this site, which takes a look at all the awful (VERY AWFUL) things that OBs, Nurses, Midwives and other professionals have said to women prior to, during, or after labor and delivery. It’s kind of [...]
No call back from the office AT ALL. No results in the mail. (And thanks for the lamenting along with me over something fairly trivial but still important in the relativity of my life!) If I don’t get the results tomorrow (morning) I won’t be able to pick them up until Friday. I’m surprisingly not [...]
I have bookmark folders for ttc and for jobs (keeping an eye on my field, always looking for new opportunities). At some point in the past several months, the jobs folder inadvertently slipped under the ttc folder. After seeing the labwork bill for the RE (not even his bill for the visit) I realize that [...]
