You know what happens when you work on a bunch of things that all seem to take forever, and throw roadblock after roadblock in your face, just tempting you to quit? Karma sees fit to put the finished product in your lap at about the same time. In an about a week, I’ll be scheduling [...]
Two Month Wait
My medical records did not end up at the right place, for the second time in this three-month fiasco. After another round of phone tag, I have the feeling that the hospital’s copy center supervisor is either sick of hearing from me, or just pitied me. Either way, she (finally) decided to fax the paperwork [...]
Banjos, babies, and lost paperwork
If this title makes no sense, you’ve probably missed Wednesday’s post. Go ahead, we’ll wait for you. Ready? Alrighty then. So now that all of my doctors are clear on the fact that I’m not inbred, my fertility counselor continued searching for ideas on how to get the strange test results situation resolved. Unfortunately, [...]
I Hear Banjos . . .
I have a new found respect for infertility bloggers. Writing about it just makes me angry and frustrated. But if you’ll forgive me for my moment of bitter ranting, I’ve got some updates to share. Updates that I lovingly refer to as: reasons we’re not pregnant yet. Remember how I had genetic testing done? Testing [...]
Hysteria
(This post was written over a month ago, but for some reason was lost in draft-land. I guess I just wanted to point out that my family has chilled out with the teasing, at least for now.) Once people know that you’re trying to get pregnant, it is impossible to get sick, have PMS [...]
Perfect Uterus: I haz one
At least that’s what my RE says. My follow up appointment Thursday morning went pretty much the way I expected it to. Yes, I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome, aka pcos. However, the good news is that I still have eggs, my thyroid levels are normal, and most of my other levels are good [...]
Just when you think you're out of obstacles . . .
I’ve been trying to figure out how to write this post for almost a week. Each time I’ve attempted it, I cry or go off on tangents or feel like there’s just not enough space to write it all out. Two weeks ago, I (finally) had a doctor’s appointment in the right place, with the [...]
The Waiting Game Continues (again)
I got a phone call yesterday from the nurse at my primary doctor’s office. A new referral/appointment was scheduled for me – this time, it’s even at the right place! Huzzah! Unfortunately, I almost bite off and swallowed my tongue when told the reproductive clinic warned that I will have to pay for the appointment [...]
The Waiting Game Continues
The doctor’s appointment on Thursday was a big fat waste of time. After waiting over an hour past my appointment time, there was apparently a mix up in communication. So instead of talking about getting my irregular cycle back on track, I had a consultation, where a resident and a doctor argued that my blood [...]
Dealing
In a week, I have another doctor’s appointment to hopefully put us one step closer to pregnancy. This time, it’s to hopefully work out the irregularities with my cycle. And to figure out if said irregularities are caused by my diabetes, stress, or PCOs. In general, I am just not impressed with the current stagnancy: [...]
