Here are the lessons I learned this weekend:
Having a friend in town, though it prevented us from moping 24/ 7, was really a good thing. If we could have canceled his visit on Friday, we would have, but it ended up being good for us. We weren’t the most cheerful forms of ourselves, but we [...]

I have been feeling lately like I’m doing a whole heap of complaining, so I apologize that I’m about to do some more.
So, the goodish news is that the b/w came back and Fern already ovulated. I’m very relieved that there isn’t a larger problem. Based on temps and other factors, we actually think she [...]

Fern went in today for a CD10 ultras0und. I had to work and couldn’t go with her. But they found that the follicles where hemorrhagic meaning that she either already ovulated or there is some kind of problem. Fern was too upset to ask for too many details. Do any of you know what problems [...]

Our good friends, straight couple C&D came into town on Friday.
C and Fern have been close friends since high school and I’ve been close with C for over 10 years.
C’s family, some of whom live in our city, threw them a [...]

Cl0mid prescription called in
Trigger shot from discount pharmacy ordered
CD10 ultrasound scheduled
Bank notified and sperm shipping plan communicated
Now we just have to hope that Fern has good folicles at her ultrasound because she [...]

Once again your sympathy and rage on my behalf means so much to me – thank you for your comments. Since so many of you wondered about other solutions, I thought I’d just put this in a separate post. I forgot to mention in my last post that I work at a very small nonprofit [...]

If you’ve been reading a while, you might remember when my boss started ttc 6 months after us and got pregnant in two tries. I guessed (on my blog) that she was pregnant early and then barely held it together when she announced the pregnancy. She gave birth in April and I had to coordinate [...]

I learned something about myself today. In a battle between my penny-pinching, cheapskate side and my obsessive researching, information overload side, cheapskate wins decisively.
We picked a donor this morning and we did it without considering every choice! We decided to go with Pacif!c for two reasons: 1. open ID selection – they have so many [...]

It’s almost official, we’re shifting gears and we are doing it soon. You know how you sometimes need someone to tell you something you already know in order to be able to act? That was basically our appointment with Dr. GUB yesterday. We spent a half hour and probably a couple hundred dollars to get [...]

S. at An Offering of Love tagged me in a meme. Here are the rules:
For the Kreativ Blogger Award the rules of acceptance are simple: list seven things you love and then pass the award to seven blogs you love.
I’m going to cheat a little. I love visuals, so I’m using pictures for mine. I’ve [...]
