Back After A Short Break

I’ve been gone for a bit, but I’ve been keeping up with your posts and where all of you are with your cycles. Last I was here, I’d done my fibroid surgery, bled for 16 days, then had my AF arrive about 2 weeks late. The timing screwed things up for my intention to cycle [...]

Moving onto iron

As of today, I’ve officially been bleeding for two weeks since my hysteroscopy. I emailed Dr. R and he said he’s not worried yet. As long as I’m not filling 4 or 5 pads a day, I’m OK. I only had liners with me so yesterday I went and bought some regular pads so I [...]

Healing in Heidelberg

We arrived in Frankfurt this morning at 6AM, took a shuttle to Heidelberg, had some food at our hotel and checked into our room quite early. We were exhausted and fell into a 3 hour nap which could have easily stretched to 8 or more hours. We’re here to visit the BF’s cousins, vacation a [...]

Yesterday’s Surgery

I had an early morning surgery at NY_U yesterday. I had to arrive at 7AM (yawn) for an 8:30AM surgery. It was another one of those procedures where I was alone. The BF left for Vegas the day prior. Two nights at the Wynn and then a night in SF. I was supposed to go, [...]

Awkward Moments in Montreal

AF took her sweet time in coming this month despite my having taken a shot of HCG to push things along. From shot to AF it took precisely three weeks. Holy crap. This was my first AF after my cycle was canceled so I expected a whopper of a cycle, but it was rather normal. [...]

Reality Bites

Tomorrow morning, a girlfriend of mind, “J”, will be transferring two seemingly perfect “xx” embryos made from donor egg and donor sperm. “J” is 46 or 47 years old, single, and really wants a child…specifically a girl child. She found an egg donor that was 23 years old and quite striking. Her sperm donor is from Denmark – an [...]

Stim Day 7

I’m onto stim day #7 and have an u/s appointment to see if my three measly follicles have grown in number. The aching in my ovaries is totally unwarranted given the small potatoes of this cycle. Days 1-6 I did 750iu of gonal-f a day. Just madness when you think of how much gonal-f that [...]

Fibroid Hell

Last Friday I did an U/s with Dr. R. He did a transverse scan and noticed something odd. He said that I either had a tumor in my uterus or that my lining was growing “funny”. I went in for my SHG yesterday and, as suspected, Dr. R found a 2cm fibroid in my uterine [...]

2010 raises its head once again

So I thought that the year of the rabbit was supposed to be in full swing by now, but apparently we’re a little behind in my world. After my last odd AF, chock full of crimson FCM and ovarian pain…I noticed that the pain lessened a bit but never really went away. I also started [...]

Back to California

Good news: My cervical biopsies came back negative for dysplasia of any kind. Thank god. The dreaded virus still lurketh, but my body is clearly fighting it off. Bad news: The mole biopsy on my face, flesh colored little thing that was wedged into my naso-labial crease (line between nose and corner of lip) came [...]
