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 [...]

I figured I should do it tonight, even though the boy will be home in another few minutes, since he’ll be up in Boston for the next couple of nights.  Figured if I was going to need to go to an emergency room in the middle of the night with my shot in hand, or [...]

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 [...]

Back from a wonderful long weekend at the boy’s parents’ country house in Connecticut. They were interested and supportive of pregnancy, I got a couple of sincere compliments from his mother, who told me that I’m looking ‘radiant’ these days. Since she’s not the type to mince words, I took it as a compliment indeed. [...]

So I had my first truly unpleasant PIO experience tonight. I’ve been coping with a bit of a bad reaction anyway – developing allergic reaction, I think – that’s merely annoying. Red, itchy welts around the injection sites, but no big deal. So we’ve been religiously switching sides to keep the irritation to a minimum. [...]

…that not a damned thing is going on with me. Still floating on the “perfectly normal pregnancy” news from Tuesday. I even went to a grotesquely overpriced baby boutique in the neighborhood to inquire about the adorable onesie in the window. Yes, it was way overpriced. No I didn’t buy it anyway. Yes, I’m still [...]

I think I’m pregnant. Second store-bought test came back positive, and a little darker. I re-took one of the internet cheapies – the ones I used to watch the HCG leave my system after the trigger shot – and it’s positive, too. I think I’m pregnant. I think the night-time peeing isn’t just PIO related, [...]

And I’m still obsessing. About anything/everything. Took an HPT test today, knowing it’s too early by any standards, but still unable to help myself. So another snowy white test strip is lined up next to its compare-to buddies in the meds. cupboard. And I’m trying to remind myself that a negative test right now is [...]

Besides being a day in which the windows are still being replaced. It’s rather like living in an Alice-in-Wonderland set, actually. Much busy-ness, no progress. Or so it seems. Realistically, I know they must be accomplishing something, but three weeks without being able to sleep in is taking a toll on me. Not to mention [...]

for no real reason.  Well, save that the bloating I’ve been dealing with is finally starting to dissipate, and the PIO shots aren’t anywhere near as bad as I’d thought they would be – mostly because the darling boyfriend is really getting good at giving them.  And because the massive bruising on the back of [...]
