My grandpa (Poppy, in New Jersey) died this morning. He was 92. He's been in chronic pain for...pretty much ever. He was hit by a car when he was young and had a lot of pain because of that, but the last 20 years or so it's just been all day every day. But he was always so funny, and with it. NOTHING ever got past him, and he loved to spend time ( Read more... )

So we met our reproductive endocrinologist! She and her team are really nice and I feel really comfortable with them. She referred Zach to a reproductive urologist to see, on the off-chance, if there's anything he can do to fix his end of things. If he can get his count higher and find a way to fix the morphology, we would be able to do IUI. It's ( Read more... )

My heart is so heavy right now and I am just crushingly disappointed ( Read more... )

So I realize I mainly use this for bitching about my ladybits (and I know that must get old). It occurred to me earlier that I've kind of withdrawn from a lot of my friends lately-especially the ones I would talk to about this.

Surgery went well. Mom and dad took us out to dinner last night and met us at the hospital this morning.

She and daddy stayed with zach until I was in a recovery room, then ( Read more... )

Good news! I called to pester my doctor about getting things scheduled since I'm doing the bloodwork tomorrow,and she said that after further review and a consult with the other doctor in the practice, the cysts on my ovary are small enough that they don't appear to be having any impact on things and will in all likelihood resolve on their own. So ( Read more... )

I thank y'all for your comments and support~as a heads up, the next few posts over the next few weeks will almost certainly be whining, stressing, or general venting of my anxiety and such, so please feel free to competely ignore them :-D ( Read more... )

...damn it.

I was going a bit crazy, because my ultrasounds STILL haven't been looked at so I don't have results about that. So I was going a bit nutty over things I COULD control; rearranging the living room, finding a dress for Taryn's wedding, etc. Found a dress, actually, but they were out of stock in the size I need locally, so Mom ordered it ( Read more... )
