(Clementine, keeping the eggs warm)
Things have been busy over here at the mamaetmaman household. My in-laws visited for the weekend, which is normally very nice, but I was feeling kind of hormonal (literally), and would’ve preferred some time alone with my wife. It’s weird, I have been feeling this internal restlessness, which has been making me yearn to travel more than I already do. It feels like a passion burning inside of me. Except that I’m kind of in the middle of an IVF stimulation cycle, and the only things even remotely interesting inside of me are these ovaries, which I am starting to feel.
Today’s Stats: (after 3 days of 225 units of Gonal-F)
Uterine lining: 6 mm
Follicles: 5 on L, 6 on R, all very small
They’re bumping up my meds tonight to 250 units of Gonal-F, and I go in on Wednesday for more monitoring. Tomorrow, I have an intralipid infusion. Fun times.
Grow grow grow little follicles!
Interesting that you’re feeling that yearning to travel and a passion burning within; that fire in your belly will help carry you through the coming weeks.
Sounds like you’ve got some good follicles in there!
Thank you. I can’t wait for our next adventure. Unfortunately, most of our travelling has been to sun destinations, rather than new adventure-driven travel. I need an adventure soon.
I hope your follicles keep growing and you and DW get some good down time together. I hear you about the restlessness and a burning desire to travel – I am so there right now!
Thank you! It’s tough with the cold weather, but I asked her on a “date” today because I just need some “us” time. I am already brainstorming a summer adventure.
A date sounds like a wonderful idea! I think I may have to suggest one of those in the MPB household too. 🙂
Grow follies!!! Grow!
I hope things continue to go well.
Grow grow GROW!!! And that Clem is so cute helping you out…
Thanks! She really is a cutie!
Sorry youre feeling so hormonal. I can totally relate! Sending you lots of great vibes!!!
Thanks girl. Same to you!
Ps…. I have the itch to travel too. Any idea where you feel like going?
I feel like going somewhere with sun and really good food- maybe Thailand or Vietnam. Yourself?
Ohhh that sounds awesome!!! We’re thinking of either Belize or the virgin islands. Because of the cost of all this shenanagins & we’re moving in May we cant go all out but we def. need a vay cay soon! Maybe May. Depends on how this goes…
Yes, that’s exactly how we feel too- unknown costs and such. We also worry about the safety of travelling if we are pregnant this summer. Fingers crossed, it’s a good problem to have 🙂
I hope so too! How awesome would it be to both be pregnant weeks apart?! Ahhh!!!!
Very awesome!
Something about the baby making process gave us wanderlust too! I hope you get some alone time with the wifey soon!
Thank you. Hopefully we will all get a chance to satisfy that desire.
11 is a good number, congrats! Enjoy hooking up to that bag of mayo tomorrow 😛
Thank you! I will try 🙂
I hope you get some good growing going on. I love the photo by the way!
I love the pic of you and clementine! Grow, little eggs. If you pregnant the internal restless will just get worse so try to relax and remind yourself everything will work out the way it’s going to (easy for me to say, I’ve had anxiety insomnia for weeks!)
