I’ve had a pretty busy week so I haven’t been posting. I also just don’t feel like posting another ‘we’re out’ post. Fern doesn’t have her period yet but all signs point to bad. Yesterday and today we had negative HPTs and Fern’s temp has been going down a bit for 3 days. Also, we [...]

Tests
Posted in Uncategorized on August 26, 2008 | 7 Comments »
Last week’s blood work all looks good. Thyroid was normal and progesterone at 6 or 7dpo was 13 which they told us was good and the internet says is most likely good. Next up, HSG.
Fern’s been really busy this week but beyond that I think it says something about where we are with ttc that [...]

Posted in Uncategorized on August 25, 2008 | 10 Comments »
It’s about 11dpo (we think, though ovulation was a little ambiguous this month). Symptoms so far:
2 days of nausea
tears when the dish washer didn’t properly wash the dishes
headache
upset stomach
sobbing tears over a broken mug
general moodiness
mild cramping
Oh, did you think i was talking about Fern? No, no, silly. Those are all my symptoms. Too bad we [...]
RE Appointment

I have to make this fast because I haven’t participated in much work today. We had our RE appointment this morning. It was a pants up, all talk appointment first with the nurse for preliminary questions then with the VERY friendly RE for the game plan. The RE was very warm but a little rushed. [...]

Thanks for all your replies to yesterday’s post. It’s good to hear that some people have had similar experiences trying to connect with non-ttc friends and others have handled their situations completely differently. I do think there’s an aspect of my personality that affects this. I’m a pretty private person in many ways. Not that [...]
The Bridge from Appetizer to Entree
Posted in Uncategorized on August 18, 2008 | 11 Comments »
I mentioned that I had a somewhat difficult time in New York communicating with some of my friends about what we’re going through with TTC. I think this is a fairly common problem that I know some of you all have blogged about. I think because I saw so many friends (from high school, college, [...]

I’m all over the map today – I gave up trying to unify the themes of this post. Well, they all are about getting pregnant, so there you go.
We inseminated this morning! Fedex brought us Sage’s goods bright and early and we were delighted to find higher volume than usual – woo! Not to get [...]
Wouldn’t it be nice

I’m still catching up on all my blogs – you all write a lot! I always feel weird posting when I’m not up to date; I don’t know why. Anyway, I have one crazy thing that I wanted to write down before I forget. While I was staying at a friend’s she had an announcement [...]
Almost Back

I’m writing from the Newark airport where I’ve been for hours. My flight’s delayed but I’m entertaining myself with the interwebs. I’m mostly anxious to get home to Fern – I miss her so much!
I have a zillion blog posts to catch up on – I can’t wait to read about what’s been going on [...]
Vacation

I’ll be out of town next week from Sun-Sun. I’m going to NYC for a conference and leaving a little early to see some friends. For whatever reason a lot of my friends have settled in New York so I’ll have many reunions. I’m most excited that I’ll get to see L & H from [...]
