"I just hope it's all worth it to bring up kids in this society..."

WARNING: blatant geekery and philosophy ahead...

Me: Okay, you've sighed five times in the past two minutes. What the hell are you reading [on your iPhone]?

DH: The Guardian. Sometimes I really don't know if we should raise kids in this society. Twitter, Facebook, cell phones, sexting. It's scary. I was just reading about this new...

A 2-day wait feels longer than the 2ww!

We went to the hospital on Wednesday morning to get Baby B checked out. The genetic counsellor went through everything with us and said there was a 50-60% chance of the baby having a major chromosomal disorder (Trisomy 13, 18, 21 or Turner's). If that was clear, there was still a 25% chance of major heart defects or skeletal issues.

We did a...

Shortly after I posted my last blog entry about body image issues and pregnancy, all hell seemed to break loose here on the boards, and we lost some wonderful wonderful people in the fallout. I suspect it was not my blog that was the problem, but I still apologize to anyone who may have been offended or hurt by my negativity about something that...

Pregnancy and body image (WARNING: includes shameful bitching about being PG, in a way)

So today I went into Thyme and picked up a couple pairs of khaki capris and a denim skirt, figuring they'll do me for the summer (I'm living in yoga pants right now). It was the first time I've ever tried on maternity clothes, and I put on that bump that's supposed to be me in another three months (maybe less for me with...

"I'm afraid you won't love me anymore!"

This is what DH tells me last night. I hadn't seem him for more than a week, and he was away for the viability ultrasound showing that we're definitely having twins. I thought he was mostly freaked out about the weight of responsibility, etc., but I think it's more complex than that.

He loves travelling, and loves me, and has had me...

Sent a sound file to DH in New Orleans this morning...

Me: Your children's heartbeats attached. Both strong at 132bpm. All caught up in size. Couple of cysts to keep an eye on.
DH: That's good. I am happy. You?
Me: Very happy. Everything perfect right now. This might well be a trouble-free pregnancy. It was pretty cool watching and...

Age cap for ART?

I watched a little of the program on TLC this evening on IVF patients who are significantly older than the "average" (like any of us are average, right?). For those who missed it, this is the description on the website:

Thanks everyone for getting me through the day from hell!

Just waited two hours to see my OB. Based on the 40-hour doubling time from beta1 to beta2, and then the 90-hour doubling time in the last couple of days (beta2-beta3today), he suspects that I may have lost a twin yesterday. Pooh.

Going back in for ultrasound tomorrow to see what the heck is going on in there, and another beta on Thursday to...

Clusterf*** Part II--The Revenge

So, the good news is that I'm still pregnant. The bad news is that I have zero faith in Netcare! DH and his friend (another doc) both checked twice at different locations and it said negative last night.

Just went for stat bloodwork. My OB's office just called and said...

My beta on Sunday (21dp3dt) was actually 20,732.
My beta today...

Okay. Here's what kept me up most of the night...

My beta last Monday was 1716. Per my clinic's idiotic "week between betas" policy, I didn't go for my second beta until Sunday (Mother's Day). Because my clinic is in another province and processing times are longer than my butt is big, DH stopped at the office on his way...
