… I called the doctor yesterday to ask whether our timing was okay. I thought it was fine – right after and thirty hours after positive OPK… but yesterday FF was insistent that I had in fact O’d the day before the positive OPK… solid line certainty, not even a dotted line to give me [...]
Waiting. CD 17. Annoyed about the best laid plans… Likely going in on (stressful) work days even though I had a three day weekend based on timing of previous cycles. RE seems unperturbed by phone, so we have not gone in, though he made it clear he is around all weekend. This is one time [...]
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 [...]
… bullet point edition Weekend was shot by a LONG LONG DRIVE to a festival only to turn around after waiting forty minutes to go one mile on a two lane road (we had five miles left to go). It was one of the first beautiful Saturdays in a long time and it felt totally [...]
I had a mini-breakdown this evening. My job has become increasingly stressful over the past month (full of confrontation and frustration) and today it came to a head that I believe will continue through the rest of the week. I am trying to keep myself calm and focused and relaxed. I am anxious that my [...]
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 [...]
A post, but first thanks for all the well wishes and a toast: To all of you fine women who are able to maintain some semblance of composure following your first (or any subsequent) IUI, cheers. To everyone else, after weeks of “Questions of the Week” and cerebral ranting, I finally understand. This isn’t a [...]
(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, [...]
So I haven’t seen my dentist in a little while even though I generally have soft and terrible teeth regardless of how fabulous my dental hygiene is. I had an appointment in the fall and they called and cancelled and I for whatever reason did not call back. I called a couple weeks ago and [...]
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 [...]
