My name is Meg. I'm a social worker who writes romance novels in her spare time. I love sewing, writing, blogging, craft projects, and the color yellow. And I am in love with an amazing woman ( Read more... )

We took the opportunity this weekend to drive up to Estes Park with our neighbors, Peter and Lisa, and go hiking. Had a great time, too - especially with all the little chipmunks that were very eager to share our trail mix at the falls where we stopped! Got some pretty good photos out of the trip so I may be printing some of them at larger sizes so ( Read more... )

Well, it was another BFN for us this last cycle. *sigh ( Read more... )

I am feeling immensely sad today. It’s making it hard to concentrate on work. Ever have that sort of pervasive sense of down-in-the-dumps that sort of feels like it’s squashing your happy place? That’s where I am ( Read more... )

Swimmers arrived yesterday! Had a small dot of EWCM late last night, and cervix was very soft but didn’t feel quite open yet. We waited, and I’m glad we did because this morning cervix is higher (yay) but also firmer and even more closed. I don’t think it’s time yet.

Maybe we'll actually have a chance at a BFP if my cycle's not completely out of whack. So we've got ( Read more... )

I’m not sure what to think today. My temperature jumped up yesterday morning, and FertilityFriend has suddenly shifted my ovulation day to Wednesday instead of Tuesday, presumably because of how high yesterday’s temperature was. I’m almost certain I ovulated late Tuesday night, because we did our second insem at 3 AM on Wednesday and Shasta said ( Read more... )

I haven’t posted much in the way of updates, mostly because I’m not feeling particularly hopeful about this cycle. *sigh* I really don’t think our timing was any better than our last try, and I certainly don’t feel pregnant at all. Not a single symptom that would give any sort of twinge of hope. I really think our first TTC cycle was wacky-long, ( Read more... )

And the TWW begins again. We did one insem at 3 PM yesterday, and another one at 3 AM this morning ( Read more... )
