Slow and Steady wins the follicle

Well...not much happening in ovary land, so we are increasing my dose to 125 units/day. No reason to get overly zealous with my dose right now, so 125 it is. I guess we will see if any progress has been made on Tuesday. Fingers crossed! Last year it took 14 days of injections before my follicles were ready to go. I have a feeling we are on the same path. But...that's okay.

    I was going to say, is your cycle shorter when you're on the injectibles? I finally got the O sign on my monitor- day 16. Hope you're weekend is going well. Wish I had the funds, I'd fly out to have lunch with you and Courtney. :)

    Love the title of this post. It describes my situation perfectly!

    Grow follies grow! So, what time is your appointment on Tuesday? Perhaps we'll cross paths...we visit Dr. N at 9:45 for the bean's nuchal translucency scan. I'm thinking so many positive thoughts in your direction, Kate! Hope your 125u Follistim does it's thing and you get to where you need to be soon. I know Zoelle will be so happy to have a little brother or sister to look out for from above, and you and Tim will be such amazing parents.

    Hi, Kate,
    I found your link on Brenna's blog and was interested to see that you, too, (a) lost a little girl halfway through your pregnancy and (b) are in the midst of Follistim shots with this cycle. I am, too, although we are doing IVF for the first time. I will be following along with you and hoping for three perfect eggs for you. (BTW, that is what we had in our pregnancy with Follistim + IUI - and we got three perfect babies out of it. We lost them almost four months ago due to a horrible infection that nearly killed all four of us.) Good luck in your Tuesday appointment. I will check back for the good news. :)

Our Rainbow!!!!!

Amazing...simply amazing. I am soaking up every moment. I am so thankful for our little girl. So...introducing River Zoelle Mirth 8 pounds, 11 ounces and 22 inches long!!! Labor was long, hard yet amazingly wonderful. 12 hours of labor and just over 3 hours of pushing (these are the things the docs don't tell you can happen!!!) But we did it!!! Our rainbow is finally here safely in our arms.

Testing, testing,...1...2...3

So I couldn't resist!!! I tried! Yesterday morning I woke up at 4:30 with the urge! The urge to hopefully break our BFN streak and prove to be pregnant. Well, into the bathroom I went, gingerly tip-toeing across the hardwood, attempting to avoid waking up Tim. I slowing opened the home pregnancy test package, praying that what I have been expecting was true. There I was, starring at the test...waiting for the line to arrive (Where else to go during the wee hours of the morning...I was trying not to wake up Tim, or the pups downstairs!). Then it appeared, like a magic trick right before my very own eyes! The faintest of faint pink line. It was so faint, I thought for sure it wasn't real. I bursted back into the bedroom "Tim...Tim...are yo awake?" In reply "Kate, it's 4:30 in the morning, what the heck are you doing up?" "I just took a pregnancy test, there are TWO LINES!" Tim's first reply was "why are you testing already and why at 4:...

Seraching for balance...

Wow...I have been a seriously slacker...again. I write on a private blog for River for family, but I find myself writing on here less and less. This blog helped me heal and grow through my grief...but I also know I am never truly healed. Zoe's loss will always be with me. These days I find myself struggling with balance in my life. I seem to be all over the place. After we lost Zoe I was searching to fill the void in my life. At the time, I thought getting a puppy would help distract my mind...it did. The following year we rescued a second dog. Now here we are with a 9 month old and 2 very high energy dogs. I have an extremely difficult time managing our husky, despite how much I love him. I feel like my priorities shifted in such a huge manner...I don't have the time I once did to attend to his needs. I feel like such a terrible dog owner, but at times I feel like it may be time to find Sawyer a new home. He is such a sweet, loving pup...but his energy level is OFF THE HOOK....
