We’ve been in the lovely state of Massachusetts visting family and friends since xmas day. It’s been almost a week since I’ve read my blogroll and I miss you all so! I hope I’ll catch up soon.
Our vacation has been mostly great and only occasionally stressful. We’re here until just after the new year. Before [...]

Ovulation Station
Posted in Uncategorized on December 19, 2008 | 9 Comments »
We’re still waiting for more data but it appears that this might be an anovulatory cycle for Fern. Either that or she ovulated at CD7.
It’s CD15 and we have 7 negative digital OPKs (you know, the really expensive ones) and a meandering, lazy summer day kind of a temperature pattern. There was a little temperature [...]
Oh, Control, You Elusive Bird

I don’t have to tell you all that one of the most frustrating things about queer or alternative ttc is the extreme lack of control. I suppose every ttc-ing couple, gay and straight alike, feels like they lack control, but it’s worse when you don’t have all the baby making parts in the house. Lately, [...]

I’ve got the mixes all ready to fly to their new owners and I have some extra materials so let me know if you didn’t request a mix and you’d like one. No need to send me anything in return.
In TTC news, we did an insemination yesterday and we’ve got another planned for tomorrow. Yesterday [...]
Insert Holiday

Recently Sara made a mix and sent a copy to anyone who wanted one and in exchange the recipient was to make a mix for her. I got my mix in the mail and have been rocking out – it’s fabulous and it was so nice to get the package! I’ve been hard at work [...]
My Disturbing Brain
Posted in Uncategorized on December 8, 2008 | 6 Comments »
First of all, thank you for your sweet comments on my last post. Reading each one made me feel a little better. It’s good to know we’re not alone out here.
Now onto my messed up head. I should say that I usually get a little bored hearing about or reading about other people’s dreams. It’s [...]
A Sad Kind of Day
Posted in Uncategorized on December 5, 2008 | 18 Comments »
Tired and sad. That’s how I’ve been feeling this week. Fern has been incredibly busy and I’ve hardly seen her which never helps my mood. And I’ve had a project at work that I’m not doing well on and I could really use some advice from my very pregnant boss but she is on a [...]
Comfortless Resolve

I swear I’ll stop with the anniversary observing soon, but yesterday marks one year since our very first insemination. We had a “dress rehearsal” try, inseminating on December 1st and 4th 2007. Holy shit, I can’t believe it’s been a year. Someone I know online also had her first insemination that weekend [...]
Broken Tests
Posted in Uncategorized on December 1, 2008 | 6 Comments »
We bought a big batch of cheapy pregnancy tests off the internet last year and every time Fern takes one we say that the tests are broken because they never show the second line. We’ve gotten two broken tests so far this cycle. Fern had some sore boobs and a high temperature this morning, but [...]
