The Day After

I successfully spent the entire day absorbed in my work, trying as best I could to not dwell on what happened yesterday, or more accurately, what DIDN’T happen. I am pretty much cried out to that point where my eyes felt heavy and sticky, the only solution is to just sleep through it all. I [...]

Drinks, Anyone?

I’ve had wonderful uterine cramps for two days, so bad, that I told my friend JS, “There is so much going on in my uterine area that I will be blown away if we’re not pregnant.” Blown away, I am. Beta:

10DP3DTBeta Day

Last night before going to bed, I read over at Thalia’s that the brave girl POAS and got a BFP. This is the first good news I’ve read in a great while and I was so excited. This morning I checked in and read that she’s started to bleed. I pray that it’s only implantation [...]

9DP3DTThe 2WW becomes the 24hW

10:21PMStuffed to the hilt on Chinese Five Spice Chicken and Seafood Delight in Garlic Sauce, we waddled through the Borders in Los Gatos, trying to find last minute Mother’s Day cards for our respective mothers. J was successful, but I was not. My mother only reads cheap paperback romance novels and I seriously wouldn’t know [...]

8DP3DT: Luteal Day 12

J’s mom, DC, who lives in Sonora, came to stay with us last night on her way to Monterey, where she plans on spending a few days with a couple of her girlfriends. I’d hoped that she would have stayed longer than one night with us, but she promised that she’d stay longer on her [...]

IVIg: The New Botox?Progesterone: The New Viagra?

All I know is that ever since I did IVIg last Wednesday, my skin has looked great. I’ve arisen to rosy cheeks each and every day. And get this: my eyelids even looked taut enough yesterday so as to temporarily dissuade me from upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Strange, but true. I did a double-take in the [...]

6DP3DT: Luteal Day 10

Things are Piling UpI am supposed to have lunch with an old friend today, but I’m not quite sure I am ready to go out and mingle in the fertile world just yet. They’re so naively optimistic that I would rather sit home and channel surf then endure the unknowing comments. I shirk from this [...]

5DP3DT: Luteal Day 9

Statistically speaking, implantation should have happened sometime in the last day or so. I’m not sure what the 1st SD is for the data I posted a few days ago, but I realize that “they say” that it can happen as far out as 10 or 12 days. But what “they say” isn’t really backed [...]

4DP3DT: Luteal Day 8

abc7news.com: Technique Guarantees Embryo Implantation www.westcoastinfertility.com A doctor in Beverly Hills is apparantly and successfully implanting embryos directly into the uterine lining of women and getting them knocked up at astonishing rates. Too good to be true? Well yes, actually. Modern Millie just pointed out that his 2003 CDC stats are “abyssmal” to say the [...]

3DP3DT: Luteal Day 7

Warning: Graphic PostImplantation can happen anytime from today to day 12…so I’m just waiting, on pins and needles for something, anything, to happen. I’ve been having cramping on and off since yesterday, but it is likely just the progesterone making its presense known. But I ignore this simple possibility and, instead, imagine that my little [...]
