Today I'll be attending a shower/meet the babies party for two of my cousins' wives (two brothers and their wives had babies within a couple weeks of each other). I can usually cope with these things, or I avoid showers altogether, but today I feel bitter. I can't even count how much I've spent on baby gifts in the last 8 years or so. Pret...

new fertility option
Over the last couple of months, I've been contemplating what my life would be like without kids, given that that seems to be the most likely outcome for us. You may think that sounds negative, but after 5+ years, 3 IUIs, 3 cancelled IVFs and countless other supports (acupuncture, nutrition, yoga, you name it...)we've pretty much given up. That is...
All the way through this IF journey, I have been thinking that something good has to come of it, even if that something good isn't a child. As a researcher and psychologist, for some time I've been thinking of doing a study on women's experiences of infertility and fertility treatments.

Well, I took it upon myself to cancel my own cycle. I know that sounds very strange in this IF world where we're usually so careful to do exactly as the Dr. says. Well, not me, not this time. You may recall that I was a very poor responder and that for this cycle, I was put on the BCP. Not usually a good plan for poor responders, but I went along with...
I had an amazing day and I feel so very supported going into this cycle that I thought I'd share. I was the recipient of some wonderful generosity today! First, a friend gave me 4 days worth of Gonal-f for free. She doesn't need it, but she wouldn't let me give her any money for it. Then my naturopath, who is helping me make nutritional ad...
With each new cycle, I become very reflective of the IF journey and all the things I've been through. These reflections often include a lot of "What ifs". What IF I'd made different choices in my 20s? What IF I'd met DH sooner? What IF I'd married earlier? Do you see where I'm going with this? I've noticed something about...
Hi all, Well, I've decided to blog. I enjoy reading all of your lovely blogs and thought it might be cathartic to start my own. Really, this is an attempt at being less obsessive about my upcoming treatment and hopefully expressing myself will make me more relaxed. So it's purely selfish. But someone might read it. Or not. Here's my deal: tomo...
