Why be so damn negative all the time!? *Warning – Sour relationship mentioned*

I’ve been talking to my HPT this morning, as one does after developing such an intense long term relationship.  The Relationship is just not quite working for me anymore, I need some space. I mean, come on!  Month, after month, after month and all I get is negativity!  Nothing I say or do is ever [...]

PCOS – Are all my eggs bad?

Ok, so this question was really bugging me, and as per usual I pop the All Knowing Ken – Dr.V a neurotic email. Dr.V, tell me and tell me straight – are all my eggs bad?
My current IVF produced 12 eggs, of these 12 – 5 fertilised, and 4 reached the 8cell stage, only [...]

HPT Stock-Up

Ok, so I did the dreaded trip to Dischem. For the record, I’m never buying HPT’s from Dischem ever again! Apparently they think we TTC’ers are a bunch of of deprived souls desperate enough risk criminal prosecution to find out if we are pregnant – perhaps not THAT far fetched…but nevertheless…it is a [...]

So, let’s do this week’s item in my Geeky Museum of Cool
Gadwin Print Screen is a wonderful little Application and the free version has enough features to make it my best friend without spending any money on it and have me singing [...]

Post ET Update

Ok, so I don’t say this very often, but Sam, you were right! There you have it, you were right!
The 2ww really is not a walk in the park, and all of my mental strategies thus far have failed to morph the emotional anguish into something remotely bearable. Strategies employed thus far:
The “Technically, [...]

CD 20 – 3 Embies going Strong…

Ok, so I got my embryology update this morning.
3 of the 4 are still going strong, doing what embies should be doing on day 4 post fertilisation.  Unfortunately one started to regress.
So tomorrow, best 2 out of 3 will be transferred.
Needless to say, we won’t have any to freeze since we’re already past day 3.
Only [...]

CD 19 – 2 More Days in Vitalab Hotel

So, we had 4 viable embies (8celled) of which 2 were textbook and 2 semi-textbook.
Dr.V recons we should give it 2 more days and let the boys seperate from the men.
So it’s two more days of fretting…until our day 5 blastocycst transfer.
So far, so good.

Yearning

And so the journey goes…
Yearning
You brim and wave from our dreams
Like water from a birdbath
After a long cold day of soft misty rain
You dance in our sorrows like a Zulu soldier
Round the fire after battle
You will never understand
The yearning that brought you home
From your hidden places
Your absence is a cave of sadness
Enfolding us in cold [...]
