Had the oddest dream about going to my doctor and having my vaginal walls punctured with a needle as long as my arm, which then proceeded to drill into my ovaries repeatedly, leaving me bruised-feeling and more than a little stiff with discomfort, 7 hours later. Oh yeah.  That really did happen.  The anesthesiologist was [...]

Which is either 4 or 2 more than last time.  I honestly don’t remember.  Doc said everything looked good, and since my recovery room was right next to the embryology lab, I got to overhear them discussing the boy’s contribution, as well.  Good enough for our purposes, which is all that matters. Feeling more than [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

Not anywhere near as many as I wanted to see, but about as many as I was expecting.  Still find it very weird that 6 months ago, on fewer stims & without DHEA, I was able to produce 12 eggs.  Talk about the one’s fertile days dropping off precipitously once they start to drop… So [...]

…which may be kind of loopy, since I’m still a bit out of it.   It went without much of a hitch, other than the anesthesiologist having to perform the obligatory rooting around in both elbows and the backs of both hands for suitable veins.  My hands officially hurt more right now than my nether regions, [...]

 …not the least of which was the computer meltdown.   Ahem.  No, it’s still not fixed, & it’s prone to random fatal errors.  So I’ll try to get all this out before another one occurs.   Monday’s appointment went well.  This time, I asked if my doctor would tell me what he was seeing as he was [...]
