Yesterday, I went to work until 12, then went to acupuncture at 2. Acupuncture was not as relaxing as it normally was simply due to the anticipation of what was to come. After acupuncture, I chugged 48 oz of water and met J at home to go to our transfer. The 48 oz of water… Continue reading Homecoming (FET)

It’s the final countdown…
I'm pretty sure I had a different title picked out yesterday and it felt more inventive. Perhaps I'll think of it in a bit. Yesterday, at 7:45 AM sharp (well, who are we kidding, I was there 15 minutes prior), I went in to the doctor. I read a magazine and caught up on some… Continue reading It’s the final countdown…
Anniversaries: the chosen birthdays
I've always had a knack for dates. Whenever I believe something important is happening, I take a mental picture of that moment. That mind photo - more often than not - is time stamped. Anniversaries are very important to me. They commemorate a time when you purposefully chose to do something, to enter a new… Continue reading Anniversaries: the chosen birthdays
Expectations are the devil
So, another post that I haven't had the heart to write. I apologize in advance that I have back to back terrible posts. So, for all of you, I will start with something positive! J passed his big mortgage test and loves his new job. It's funny to be able to discuss things with him… Continue reading Expectations are the devil
The Results
Since I was in a unique situation where a different doctor did my surgery than from whom I was seeking my infertility treatment, I had the results come at me in several waves (the last of which was several months after). They told me immediately that it went as well as could be expected, but… Continue reading The Results
Happy Valentine’s Day!
As evidenced by the title of my blog, I like wine. A lot. Pinot Grigio is my fave, but I'm an equal opportunity drinker, for the most part. Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays (I'm embarrassed to admit). I love love and I love that there's a day for people to express how… Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day!
A new day!
I think I'm just trying to make these post titles as dramatic as possible. I have trouble writing a descriptor prior to the blog post, so maybe I'll go back and revise them all later. We had our first appointment at the new doctor on December 20th. Prior to the appointment, I had all my… Continue reading A new day!
Blood, blood, blood, and reproductive endocrinology?
My first visit to the RE was interesting, to say the least. J came with me and we listened to the possible causes of infertility. The easiest, of course, is male issues, so he was scheduled to give a "sample" at that time. During that appointment, I had 15 vials of blood drawn to check… Continue reading Blood, blood, blood, and reproductive endocrinology?
