Hey Folks,
Yes, I’m still here. It’s been a busy month with school. Sorry for the lack of updates.
I’m heading in to the doctor in a couple of hours for my next insem. I’m crossing my fingers that it’s the right time. I got a very odd reading on my OPK [...]

I just got a call from my sperm bank with some good news.  When I ordered my IUI vial last cycle, I asked about changing over my pre-purchased ICI vials to IUI vials, since I’ll now be doing IUIs instead.  At the time, they told me they didn’t have any more IUI vials!  They had [...]

First, thanks for all your sweet comments about the homophobia and everything at school.  I really appreciate them.  I have some updates - check back tomorrow for them.
Also, sorry for not posting sooner!  Things have been crazy busy with school; this quarter is supposed to be our busiest of the year.
And now for the real [...]

Okay, y’all.  My period *finally* arrived yesterday.  I don’t know what was going on, but this was the longest cycle I have ever had.  Perhaps my body and clearb.lue pregnancy tests are conspiring against me to get me to spend money - I spent over $30 on 4 pregnancy tests (the good ones with the [...]

I took a pregnancy test last night and it was negative.  This was not a surprise, but it isn’t as easy to get the negative results now as it was earlier on.  I haven’t actually gotten my period yet either, so I suppose I could still turn out to be pregnant, but I don’t think [...]

This post is a bit late, but I did my last insems on Sunday and Monday the 30th and 1st.  The 30th was cd 17 and I got my first positive OPK, so I did the first insem.  I got a second positive OPK on the 1st and did the second insem that night before [...]

School is finally calming down some and I have a bit of free time, so I wanted to give all of y’all an update.  As I said here, I think there may be something wrong with my cycles since my previous one lasted only 24 days (with only a 9 day luteal phase), and so [...]

Well, y’all, I could be preggers right this minute.  (How’s that for an opening sentence, huh?)
The timing was *tricky* this time around.  For the past few months, when I wasn’t trying, my cycle was pretty long.  Last month it was 34 days.  So this month, when I called to order my spermies, I figured having [...]

Wow, it’s been a long time since I posted.  School is taking up so much of my time, it’s hard to find time to clean my house, let alone write on here.  But, I am coming back and have very exciting news.  I’m set to start TTC again at the end of this month.  I [...]

I’m going to be taking a TTC break until October.  If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you know that I’m also in grad school.  I’ll be getting my Master in Teaching for elementary ed and will graduate in July.  While grad school is important, having a baby has always been my top priority.  [...]
