Happy 100th blog post to me! Spoiler alert: tomorrow is my one year anniversary of the blog. Hopefully, I'll have good news to report. Tomorrow is my check to see if my lining is cooperating for a 4/24 transfer. We are hopeful that it will be our month to get pregnant. The meds have been… Continue reading C-Note

When do you become what you are?
Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself. An excerpt from one of my favorite quotes, it's something that is frequently on my mind. With the political, economic, and social climate how it is - diverse and combative, it's common for most to choose a side and defend it without abandon. After doing so,… Continue reading When do you become what you are?
Solo dos semanas!
Two weeks from yesterday is when my transfer is! We are extremely excited, though per usual, I'm more emphatic than J. I thought I had avoided the headaches that come with this round of meds - or had built up a tolerance - but, they came slamming back into my life yesterday which is a… Continue reading Solo dos semanas!
Uterine Hospitality
I'm hoping that the hospitality of my uterus is a bit more under my control than my body's willingness to create massive amounts of eggs. I caught an episode of Friends the other evening as I was doing my chores and it was the episode where Monica and Chandler found out they couldn't have kids.… Continue reading Uterine Hospitality
Nature vs. Nurture
**Skip if you're only interested in Annie's infertility updates.** One of my favorite past times is to look up stories of twins separated at birth who have been reunited as adults. Most of the time, they end up in similar professions, with similar relationship choices, and often times the same model of car. I've always… Continue reading Nature vs. Nurture
A journey around the world (otherwise known as a tale of two customer service experiences)
Unlike most people, I quite enjoy speaking with customer service people. Add it to the long list of other strange things I enjoy: talking to telemarketers, writing reviews on everything, picking up every phone call I receive, etc. It rarely arouses any negative emotion from me with the exception of impatience, depending on the goal… Continue reading A journey around the world (otherwise known as a tale of two customer service experiences)
Floating: My purgatory.
During my childhood I made some mistakes, as anyone did, but some of mine were specifically impactful on my life. Commitment. If I make a commitment to something at this point in my life (and for quite some time), I will go to any length to meet it. It's a borderline problem at this point,… Continue reading Floating: My purgatory.
ThirdLove and my first time being sold, even secondarily, by Facebook
At the end of September, I met a couple friends in Chicago to see Kelly's new place, go to this Poshmark party, and just enjoy good company. As one of my friends, Bailey, is nursing, we talked about nursing, bras, and all things boob several times. She said that she had purchased a ThirdLove bra… Continue reading ThirdLove and my first time being sold, even secondarily, by Facebook
The “hidden” costs of IVF, besides your sanity.
What does IVF cost? I google it still - even though I know from my personal experience in order to see people's different experiences. In many other countries, IVF and other fertility treatments are covered by insurance. In the US, they are not. There are a few carriers that are starting to offer some coverage,… Continue reading The “hidden” costs of IVF, besides your sanity.
