A general feeling of yuck has washed over me.
My boobs hurt and every time they get elbowed by my son or accidentally bumped into, I am reminded of how last month I fell for that pain hook, line and sinker. I am reminded of the positive pregnancy test dreams I had one after the other [...]

Amendment to Ice Cream Commandment
Ok, Ok. She said if you already consume some dairy, make it whole fat instead of low-fat. Then she linked this article to her email. The article says to lower your caloric intake elsewhere in your diet if you should decide to go whole milk. My nutritionist stressed the word “moderation.” On top of that, [...]

My Nutritionist Says…
…eat ice cream!
My friend the nutritionist and I had our initial consultation last night. She is awesome and has offered me her services for free. She’ll meet with me twice a month and she said she’s even going to help me find a yoga class that fits my schedule. I feel like a rock star.
Anyway, [...]

Karate Thoughts, Green Tea & Victorian Photography
This morning, while sitting in the waiting room, I started to feel like I was ovulating on the right side. I was alone because my honey could not avoid going to work being one of two supervisors. I knew it would be Dr. Otherguy aka Dr. Hasacomplexandpissesmeoff. On one hand, I was [...]

Hookey Day!
Yesterday I went in for the ultrasound and he told me we’d do the IUIs today and tomorrow. This has been such a crazy week that I decided to take today off as a mental health/possibly buckled over in ovulation pain day.
My honey and I went into Manhattan for the insem. We waited [...]

How Maggie Made My Follicles Grow
Monday was a bad day. It started the night before. We had finally gotten the green light on our kitchen renovation. That meant that we had to move every little thing in there, outta there. So we were up pretty late Sunday night moving and packing and organizing. At 3 [...]

Ducks in a Row
I spent my grand on sperm.
My new batch of Menopur arrived this morning.
I went to see Dr. Mug this morning. I have one 15mm follicle on my left side and five ones smaller than 10, and a 12mmer on the other side, and a few smaller than ten.
I am a little afraid of these drugs. [...]

The Finish Line
Something in me feels like I’m coming to the end.
I can’t really envision anything past the next two cycles.
I don’t know what it means. I’m not sure if it is a good thing or not. I feel like I’m either going to get pregnant very soon or give up very soon.
I’m one of those girls [...]

Come In On Saturday…
… but don’t bring that sperm with you!
Doctor’s orders.
He doesn’t trust a sperm bank that won’t get certified to ship to New York since New York City has the highest concentration of sperm-buyers (who knew?) That’s nice and sensible. But it doesn’t help foot the over-a-grand bill for some dude’s spooge I’m going to have [...]

Inter-state Sperm Update
The sperm bank will ship to Jersey. Now I need to find a person in Jersey who’s willing to accept a stranger’s sperm on their doorstep. The siblings have been notified.
I also need to see if my doctor will be willing to do the IUI with said sperm. He might be legally [...]
