Steady As She Goes
appy New Year’s Eve!
I’m sitting here in bed while hubby prepares the bacon cheeseburgers that I crave for dinner. This bedrest has its advantages.
My bleeding has completely stopped. The only new feature is that my nausea has kicked up a notch. Now it is all day every day. It gets a little better after I [...]
Anxiety Fatigue
wonder whether it is possible to just collapse under the horrible weight of anxiety fatigue. It seems as if all I have done for the past several months is worry about something: my job, my mom, my husband, my DE cycle and now my pregnancy. I hoped that maybe I might get a respite [...]
Atypical Woman - Part II
want to thank you all for your thoughtful replies to my screed on being an atypical woman. Even if we do not agree, my belief is that one should respect another’s choices as long as no one is being harmed. And the sanctimonious “When you’re a mother, you’ll understand,†line is not respectful or [...]
Happy Holidays
want to thank you all for all your love, support, and friendship during the past year. You cannot know how much it has meant to me.
I wish you all Happy Holidays!
At Long Last, Zappy!
ello my friends,
I hope everyone is doing well today.
Well early this morning we had our first ultrasound and we are having a singleton!
I admit that part of me was sad that it wasn’t twins because twins always seem like so much fun. But when I think about it, a singleton is about all I can [...]
Why Am I Such An Atypical Woman?
hy Am I Such a Weird Woman?
OK, I have a confession to make. I am not like most women. In fact, I’ve never gotten along with most women throughout my life. When I was about 12 or 13, I remember that the boys sat on one side of the room and the girls on the [...]
Nothing Bad Has Happened Yet
veryone,
Thank you all for your good wishes and congratulations! I thought about writing separate congrats to everyone individually and realized that would just look like I had more comments than I really had. So instead I will post this group thank you. You are all wonderful supports. I didn’t realize how many friends I [...]
3.173
n 48 hours, my beta didn’t double…it tripled! It is actually 3.173 times as high as it was on Monday.
Today’s number: 257 at 12dp4dt
One more phew gets to pass from my lips.
My ultrasound is scheduled for next Thursday. I hope that I don’t drive myself crazy before then.
My First Beta
got my beta result from yesterday. Of course this sent me off in a tizzy of worry as it was so much lower than the rest of the DE ladies I have seen have had (though not everyone tested at 14 days post retrieval). The beta was 81. The positive news from that, I [...]
Grateful, Blessed and Pregnant!
his morning I managed to actually do the test right without breaking it this time. (I peed into a cup and then dipped the stick) After 30 seconds of staring, praying, and hoping, the verdict appeared:
I never thought I would see this day. Thank God/Goddess and thank you Mom for getting me here. I am [...]
