Sad, Sick & Tired

I’ve almost recovered from the stray bacteria that “accidentally” (yea right, as if?!) hit the emergency exit button of my digestive system.  I feel like a whilted leaf, only with stomach cramps.  I’m tired, exhausted, moeg & capot.  Not quite the way I expected to feel in the last few days running up to the [...]

To blog, or not to blog

I have this thing, every now and again (it tends to happen post negative IVF) where I want to burn my blog.  In fact I feel like burning a lot of things, like for example my hair which has now banded together to begin the big exodus. Imagine that, not only am I now infertile, [...]

It’s one of those classic posts that you will go back to [...]

A long december…but there’s reason to believe

Woke up this morning to the sound of rain, I love rain.

Went to Dr.V yesterday for my follow-up.  One conclusion we could make is that egg quality has improved, my egg zonae (membrane) has reduced from 27 to 15 – 17 (µm?)  Anyhow, for PCOS this is a big thing, so it seems that my [...]

Processing a Negative IVF – Planning Ahead

I know a lot of you know what it feels like. This discomfort that you wish away. Trying to make sense of the senseless. The place is not pretty. I do not wish to dwell here for a long time.
My mom called me about 15 mins before my result came through yesterday. [...]
