I’ve decided to take a hiatus of an undefined length from blogging. I would lay out a reason, but I’m sure most of you can guess why. I just need a break from everything. So, yeah, talk t...
The beta turned out negative today. Again.
After much procrastination, including making a t-shirt vest that didn’t turn out so great, I finally scheduled my pregnancy test yesterday around one. The new receptionist answered the phone. T...
This is 100% what I did not want to happen with the whole TTC/infertility thing. My beta pregnancy test is supposed to be on Saturday, well it’s supposed to be on Sunday, but I’m going to...
About a month ago my pet rabbit, Dennis, died. He’s left a Dennis-sized hole in our hearts. I even think Luke, our grumpy old bunny, was a bit sad. This past weekend we welcomed a new bunny int...
While OccDoc and I were in Chicago for a friend’s wedding we stayed at a hotel for couple of nights. We made our reservations too late to get the discount the couple had arranged (but we ended ...
When I was freshly graduated from college and working in Chicago I was paid well for a 23-year-old. After contributing to my 401K, paying rent and utilities, stocking the pantry, buying clothes, and ...
I haven’t been sleeping fantastically in the past week or so (traveling always does that to me), so guess I caught up yesterday. I’ve never been one for daytime naps unless I’m real...
So, yeah, I was unaware that all transfers weren’t painful. Who knew? My normal doctor was out-of-town, so I saw one of his partners. Let me start from the beginning, OccDoc and I left early to...
Again. We’ll be headed for the clinic in the early afternoon for the frozen embryo transfer. I’m as relaxed and distressed as humanly possible. I think we’ll leave early to get a bi...
The wedding in Chicago was lovely. It was an outdoor wedding in a gorgeous setting so, of course, it rained Saturday. Figures, right? Fortunately there was a break in the weather and we all ran out f...
The blood work went well yesterday (only got stuck twice) and the numbers look good. This means OccDoc and I can enjoy our weekend at our friend’s wedding and come back for the transfer on Tues...
I finally made it to DSW yesterday and looked for shoes. I was pretty much overwhelmed with the selection of cute summer shoes. No, I was overwhelmed, my hands were shaking from all the excitement. I...
Okay, so I was supposed to see my fertility doctor today for a lining check for this frozen embryo transfer. Then it was on to shoe shopping. Yeah, good plan. As part of the transfer I have to do dai...
Yesterday was a really productive day. Last week I had a lot going on to keep me distracted from the upcoming frozen embryo transfer. Lots of work, lots of appointments, not so much time to get crap ...
OccDoc and I are headed to a wedding this weekend. I picked up the dress I plan on wearing, but I have absolutely, positively no shoes to wear with it. I’m trying to decide what I want to wear....
As we embark on this last frozen embryo transfer I’m being proactive to be as zen-like and healthy as possible, within reason. I’m doing my regular massages, going to acupuncture, eating ...
As some of you know I manage a few college-aged girls at work. Summer’s quickly approaching and some times my girls need some direction when deciding what to wear. They are all super cute, but ...
I believe I may have mentioned that OccDoc is in the military at least once or twice around here. Right? Okay, so I’m an Army Wife. Still Annoyed. But as an Army Wife I would assume most people...
Well, hats off to OccDoc and his planning of my birthday weekend. He made all the arrangements including calling the pet sitter. We started out the extravaganza by taking a not super strenuous hike u...
Today’s my birthday. 32 years old. I was never one to dwell on birthdays or numbers in the past, but for whatever reason this one is getting to me. I know it’s not the hormones because I ...
After reviewing our calendar for the summer and factoring in some work-related travel we realized we probably should do our next (and last) frozen embryo transfer sooner rather than later. Originally...
OccDoc and I have been sticking to the Dukan Diet since July. Well, we kind of fell off the wagon around Feb/Mar and now we’re having so much trouble getting back on. The basics to the diet are...
Yay! Happy National Infertility Awareness Week! Well, every week is infertility awareness week for me, but for the rest of you National Infertility Awareness Week is about raising awareness about inf...
Well over a year ago, when OccDoc was in Afghanistan, we decided my consolation prize for his deployment would be laser hair removal. So, he got me (or told me to buy for myself) a package of 6 laser...
Thank you for all your support on yesterday’s post. OccDoc and I are still kind of reeling from everything and this latest blow will leave a lasting impact on us. The atmosphere in our house wi...
Seriously, okay, I know people always say death comes in threes. I’m not sure pet deaths count, but yesterday I came home from work to find my giant pet rabbit laying motionless on his bed the ...
I have been sitting on this post for months; I was going to just delete it from my drafts, but I hate doing that. I hate spending oodles of time writing something only to delete (even if I should). O...
Remember when I said I bought 5 pounds of onions last week? Well upon closer examination it was 10 pounds. Oops. I used all the onions I needed for recipes and to restock my freezer with slow cooker ...
About 4 years ago OccDoc and I belonged to a warehouse club store. After we stocked up on paper products and other non-edible staples the novelty wore off. We were wasting a bunch of food; we just co...
