RE-Day, Part II

Just got a text from my friend/coworker letting me know she won’t be in today because she’s giving birth. Ooooh, the irony.

RE-Day, Part I

At the RE’s office. So far I’ve done a crapload of paperwork, and talked to three nurses. Also, my blood pressure is stellar. Let’s hope this trend continues…

So, today is all about preparing for the big day with the lady who’s going to knock me up. My first RE appointment is in a week, and I’m starting to get a little anxious. I checked in with the office to see which of my doctors have sent over my medical records, and I’ve started to fax records requests to the ones who haven’t.

By the way, is it a job requirement for medical records office employees to be rude? I mean seriously… I have called four offices today, and every single one of those women pretty much hates their life, or so it sounds over the phone. I hate calling you to fax over copies of my last three pap smear results just as much as you hate faxing them, mkay? Get over it, lady. Jeez.

Anyway, so aside from making sure my medical records are in place, showing up on time for my appointment, and employing some advanced hair-removal techniques, is there anything else I should be doing to prepare for this three-hour tour of my privates?

Retraction.

June 2nd, 2011. CD1.

I may have blogged too soon.

Aunt Flo is in town. Surprise!

I guess this means that I did ovulate at some point during the month… Although it also means that I totally wasted an HPT this morning. Oh well, at least when I see the RE in two weeks, I will have a fairly regular cycle to report.

I can also now commence with eating everything in my kitchen. Could be worse…

A New Hope

May 4th, 2011. CD5.

Today is Star Wars Day.

May the Fourth be with you… Get it? May the Fourth?

Baaaaahahahahaha…

I’m endlessly amused by wordplay and silly puns and Star Wars in general, so this whole celebration has been right up my alley.

But hey, this blog is not about how much of a nerd I am, it’s about how infertile I am! While both of those things are rather pitiful, let’s get back to the topic at hand, shall we?

Whatever. I’m Getting Cheese Fries.

April 21st, 2011. CD26.

Well, my temp did rise this morning, but not by an impressive amount. I guess my Ob-Gyn was right–I do have a weak natural ovulation.

I’ve been wondering why that is a lot lately. I think that’s why I started reading about PCOS. Now, I know I’ve said in the past that self-diagnosing is not the way to handle things, but it’s tough to sit patiently and wait for my appointment with the fertility clinic in June. Maybe if we don’t call it “Google Diagnosis” and refer to it as something like “educating myself on the possibilities”, it will all sound less crazy.

Who’s in favor of less crazy?

Oooh, ooh–ME!

Here Comes the Sun

April 10th, 2011. CD15. “A long December and there’s reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the last.” ~Counting Crows This is my first meds-free cycle in a couple of months, and I have been feeling rather aimless. Even though I only took the Clomid for two cycles, for the six or

What to Expect: When You’re Expecting to Expect

When I got married a little over two years ago, I never expected that I would be here–a veritable science experiment of a woman, working my little fingers to the bone trying to get pregnant, and burdening the world with my tragic woes via the internet. I also had no idea that I’d probably been

Sitting On My Hands

Well friends, the day has finally come. …No, I’m not knocked up. And no, I haven’t decided to “just stop trying”. After all, what sarcastic epithet would I name this blog then?

Up In the Air

March 28th, 2011. CD2. After spending the day yesterday with two of my best friends and their fourteen- and seven-month-old girls, I have a renewed sense of determination to have a family of my own… Despite the week-long setback Aunt Flo has thrown in my way.
