14dpiui Beta

Post-hysteroscopy and some weird news

The hysteroscopy was a walk in the park. The drug cocktail they gave me was glorious. A mixture of Valium, Vicodin and some other anti-spasm drug, plus some more pain killer in the drip. I was as happy and as loopy as a clam. The other part that was really neat was that I got [...]

good test results: what does it mean?

thank you for my two cyber friends for commenting on my test results. it’s true that it’s nice to get good test results. but that also means that (as of right now) there’s no REASON for the infertility. it’s kind of a strange spot to be in because you desperately want to be healthy but [...]
