I've been having a tough week emotionally so far. I think it's due to the juxtaposition of being in this limbo of waiting for my period and watching two friends give birth (so happy for them, truly!) in the past two weeks. Oh, and there was the sermon Sunday about heaven that included a high [...]

I've done my yoga for the day, Lexi and I are all dressed for our walk, and after that's done, I start my recovery week!! It was planned to be the week I take provera, but it looks like I may not have to do that, so it's just going to be a week where [...]

My doctor's appointment this morning was fantastic! Dr Reutinger says if my period starts in the next 2 weeks I don't need to take provera at all, and that we can just start at the dose of clomid Lexi was concieved with. Easy peasy. He was also impressed by my weight loss. 🙂 I'm optimistic [...]

As we are about to enter this new and possibly exhausting season of fertility drugs, bloodwork, and scheduled intimacy again after two and a half years, I want to take a little time to write about the reasons I have to be encouraged and hopeful about the outcome of even the first month. - I am [...]

3 weeks into this Bob Month I'm getting stronger and fitter for sure, and that's awesome. I'm probably getting a little smaller too, but it's hard to tell, because, whether I want to believe it or not, I'm pretty small (for me) and there's just not that much left to melt off. I am still [...]
