I got a kooky idea.
I was thinking about my friends Dakota and Mulberry, who are just beginning yet another two week wait. I wanted to somehow make it celebratory, rather than stressful. I know. You can’t just do that, as evidenced by the terrible “Have a Happy Period” commercials. But still.
How about we make a [...]

One Year Ago, Yesterday
I was at the end of my TTC rope.
I was ready to give up.
Maybe I would try one more time without drugs with a yet-unidentified fresh donor, but that was it.
I was ready to start begging my straight friends for just a little bit of their husbands’ baby juice.
I was so happy I already had [...]

Happy Birthday to….
…my blog! And my mom!
I won’t say how old my mother is. She looks almost as young as me and her spirit is that of a twenty-year-old while I still sometimes trip over into worried grandma mode. So happy happy, My Mama.
My blog is one year old today. I thought I’d do what I’ve seen [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

That’s It! We’re Moving to Jersey…
The freaking cheap sperm bank won’t ship to New York. AAAAAaaaaarrrrrrgggh.
So I’m asking them if they will ship it to my “second home” in New Jersey. (My brother’s house would be my second home.)
I don’t know if my doctor will be allowed to let me use it with him, though. This is [...]
