Because I wouldn’t be me without finding something in the midst of all this pregnancy-related bliss to bitch about, I’m going to give you part 2 of my amazing adventures with CuraScript. CURASCRIPT.  (Just in case anyone is googling them, trying to decide whether or not to ever send them a single thin dime.  My [...]

Ah, Lovenox, Lovenox.  Derived from the unclean bowels of pigs, yet worth more than gold and jewels in the eyes of mine insurance company.  Thou createst a paradox of health and sickness, vigor and frailty, balancing my life upon a knife’s blade of hemorrhaging and clotting.  Thou art beautiful in mine eyes, and yet hateful, [...]

“Best embryos of the day,” according to my doctor.   2 8-celled grade A’s and a lower grade 4-celled little fella.  I am the proud incubator of grade A embryos.  I am in shock.   My embryos have never even been up to average, so having high grade 8-celled embryos makes me feel that at [...]

In this case, I am assuming it’s good news.  My doctor was going to call if anything changed today, so I’m going to assume that all 4 little proto-sprogs are still alive. First PIO shot tonight, and I started the pessaries last night.  Blech.  However, today also began my “pineapple for breakfast” week, so that’s [...]

…though that’s not saying a whole lot. Wow anesthesia knocks me for a loop!  Even when I get out from under it and I could swear that I’m functioning just fine, thank you very much, it’s pretty obvious, afterwards, that I was nowhere near “fine” for many many hours later. Looped out of my gourd, [...]

What a complete and utter clusterfuck. Quick recap:  When I arrived this morning, I found no medicine waiting for me.  When I called to find out what had happened, I learned that either my clinic didn’t get the info to the mail order pharmacy, or the mail order pharmacy screwed up. 1:00pm:  I contacted my [...]

So I got to work and immediately started looking for my box of meds that should have been delivered this morning. Nothing. I ate lunch, and jumped every time the bell rang but it was never anyone except a bunch of people wanting to come into the library before we’re open.  So I called the pharmacy.  [...]

Got a call from the clinic to give me my estradiol numbers – 932 – and to tell me not to bother to come in tomorrow morning, but wait til Friday morning. Shit.  This is not looking good. Didn’t hear from the stupid mail-order company today, so I don’t know if anything went through.  Don’t [...]

…and we’re still holding out at least another day before triggering. Dr. Bigshot was my doctor.  Again.  And he was 2 hours late.  Again.  Ask me how much I care about his presentation.  Answer: Not even a little tiny bit. He wouldn’t tell me how many follicles he was looking at, though there were certainly [...]

…at least for this cycle.  Well, not really, but at least the first appointment where we’ll actually learn something – like are the massive cocktails of Bravelle/Menapur/Lupron actually stimulating my old ovaries to step up to the plate & take a swing at this whole egg-makin’ game.   I’m feeling the drugs in other ways.
