Friday, July 21, 2006. OK final beta and "The paper" (TM). So I went into the clinic this morning for the final beta and while I was there, the DE Coordinator gave me "the paper"! It looks like this:. Calculated last period: June 19, 2006. Ultrasound Due: August 3, 2006. Stop Support Medications: August 29, 2006. EDC (due date): March 26, 2007. I'm still soaking it all in. It's all so very overwhelming. Posted by Debbi @ 5:05 PM. Links to this post. To tell or not to tell - That is the question. Last bet...

Wednesday, December 06, 2006. Again with the scale. Blood pressure, despite having it checked after the weigh-in (CHECK). Speaking of C. he had his "Conscious Fathering". Class Saturday and really liked it. He came home with all kinds of information and wanted to go to the bookstore for some recommended books. I think he's starting to get really excited. I've been reading Vicki Iovine's book. Girlfriends' Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood. Heading Home Your Newborn. Posted by Debbi @ 2:03 PM.

Wednesday, June 28, 2006. T minus 4 and counting. The donor coordinator called this afternoon. She's confident that the donor will trigger Friday night and ER is likely going to be Sunday. If there are more than 8 embryos, they'll try to take them to blast which means that ET will be Friday if things go well. My e2 from Monday was 333 which is great. That's all I know.

Friday, March 31, 2006. Finally. And this time, it's a good thing because the last 2 weeks really sucked. Turns out. not necessary. Beta fell to 353 today. Chemical for sure. They want me back for weekly betas until it's 0 but I suspect that means one or 2 more blood draws. Fortunately, I really love my clinic and adore pretty much everyone that works there. There are a couple of exceptions but after some of the horror stories I've heard, I've got ZIP to complain about. Posted by Debbi @ 3:53 PM. Ok i ju...

Saturday, August 26, 2006. Here are more boring pictures. If you click on one, it will render full-sized. Be sure to click the "back" button to return to read more blog! So there's a recommendation that makes me feel better. On the non-fertility front, Stella (my Rottweiler) and I have started. We're training at the same farm where we. So we've got both activities on the same day. It's going to be fun. She really loves it. Now we actually have homework every night. If you've read this far, thanks! These ...

Thursday, September 14, 2006. It's Still Not Real. I can't explain it but I think Meg said it best. Really. It's so very hard to relax and enjoy this pregnancy when I know that so many of my friends are still suffering. Additionally, I realize every moment that it can be my last moment. That this can end at any time. That's never far from my mind. First I went for the NT scan. I was 11w1d and it was a milestone. My first transabdominal ultrasound! On the heals of that, C. and I are taking a "Sign wit...

Wednesday, October 25, 2006. Friday's weigh in results: net -1 pound. We've been using the doppler every night and it seems from the sounds that we're having a pony. I hope it's a small, cute pony.

Literally. Other than the asskicking, which I'll get to later, the appointment was great. Bloodwork still normal...

Thursday, November 16, 2006. On my way home last night, a power wire snapped from a pole about 3 cars behind me as I waited at a traffic light. It was so powerful that I felt the shock from it come from the steering wheel up both arms and through my body. It felt like a really really big shock from a really powerful electric pasture fence. except bigger. My first thought was "well, if I'm ok, the baby's ok" then a few minutes later I thought "holy shit, the baby's in water! And definately a boy! Well, we...
