Thank you so much for your well wishes! Please keep wishing a little longer - transfer is delayed just a few more days.
Sorry for the lapse in posting. I’ve been feeling a little woozy (and sleepy and bloated and crampy) since my doctor decided to ramp up my estrogen intake. My lining measured a measly […]
Despite comments from fertiles that assume otherwise, trying to conceive (and being unsuccessful so far) really isn’t that much fun.
But I’m a glass-half-full kind of girl. Let’s talk about some of the peaks on this roller coaster ride.
I’ve already mentioned the glow that my skin takes on in the estrogen-filled days leading up to a […]
You know I love Pilates, but now that I am getting ready for another FET (frozen embryo transfer) I still don’t have answers as to how much and when I can reintroduce Pilates back into my routine post-transfer.
I’ve finally decided (after a few false starts) that I am down with Yoga. But I’m still not […]
Today’s Telegraph reports more interesting facts and findings from the 24th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Barcelona, Spain.
One study focused on declining success rates of ICSI after the 3rd attempt:
Almost all women who would have become pregnant through a type of IVF (intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection […]
After more than a month of dreading, teeth gnashing, cursing the needles, pins and pills of this “mock cycle,” yesterday’s tests finally happened. My sweaty palms dried after a visit and a hug from our Nurse (who was there assisting with transfers since the clinic was short-staffed for the day) and after seeing the […]
I can’t recall if I’ve told you, but after my second BFN (big fat negative), we agreed to more tests to see what the heck is going on down there. My doctor’s first request was for a hysteroscopy and an endometrial biopsy.
For (lack of) insurance reasons, the hysteroscopy was downgraded to a sonohysterogram (SHG), similar […]
Last week as M and I were enjoying an evening at a friends’ house (something we don’t do often enough), I caught a glimpse of a set of 10 little statements, mantras almost, clipped from a new agey magazine and hanging in her kitchen. My first impulse was to tease, but then I started reading […]
Well, today certainly did end the wait as promised.
I just wish I had better news to share.
We learned this morning that our FET ended in a BFN (big negative. You fill in the middle)
So, our journey towards parenthood continues. Not quite sure which direction we will head next. Or when.
But fear not, Fertility Notes forges […]
By the time you read this post, I will be enjoying a mandatory 24 hours of bed rest. But I didn’t want to miss out on another B5 Media Science and Health theme day! So, here are some quick links to previous discussions here at www.fertilitynotes.com where Nutrition played a central role:
Why Would I Listen […]
I’m suffering from some serious writer’s block this evening. No news story seems interesting; no health care fact intrigues me. What, dear readers, can I share with you?
Perhaps I should just tell you what’s on my mind.
It’s this week. My FET (frozen embryo transfer) is scheduled for this week. And it’s really all I can […]
