Code Name... MomTales From a Mom of Three May 27 3rd Time is Not the CharmI was scheduled for my transfer on May 7th. Up until then my blood tests and such have all ready out to be right on track. The Transfer was smooth, and I stayed down for 2 days, taking another 2 days very easy. I went in for my pregnancy test the following Friday - the phone call at 2pm from the doctor stated that it was yet another negative.
This will be our last attempt, since they let us know at the transfer appointment that I had lost 4 of my 6 remaining embryo's.
Now it's just time to recover.
Take care.
K April 13 Happy (Belated) EasterSo... My daughter gets home from her fathers house last night.
She says "Mom! Guess what!? All three of our kids got ducks for Easter!"
Then... "Mom! Want to see a picture!?"
(This is where I sigh.. I'm not much of an animal lover...)
Then she shows me this...
Yes... She's beautiful... and the ducks pretty cute too...
March 26 Time to try again...Well it is about that time again. My huge box of medications just arrived from FedX and the calendar shows that starting on the 29th of this month, my whole little calendar is full of "take so much of this, inject so much of that." I'm excited. This last few months has been sort of a blur, so I'm welcoming a bit of distraction. The nice part is, with so much going on, the time to the next transfer won't seem like lightyears away....
Think good thoughts and send some our way :)
K January 29 The transplant with (no) results...I once again apologize that it's been so long. Much has happened here...
1.) Quit my job - accepted a position with a new company
2.) Thanksgiving
3.) Started new job
4.) The transplant
5.) The transplant results
6.) Christmas
7.) Huge storm of snow and ice - practically shutting down the town
It seemed like it was really one thing after another.
I will spare you all the details of the transplant. The results were negative... again. I only just talked to my doctor yesterday in which he called me an "anomaly" and he is clueless as to why I cannot seem to get pregnant. (Yeah... I second that... I suggested to have a few shots of Tequila before the transfer...that seemed to cause my last three pregnancies.) :)
Other than the basics of running a household, my life has been fairly uneventful. I cut off about 10 inches of hair into an "a-line" cut.. which I love. I posted a picture of it on my profile here. I have also discovered the joy of shopping at JC Penny's .. during their 70% off sale. I got a leather blazer that was originally $225.00 (which I would have never paid) for $49.00! Holy cow... do you know how nice it is not to be getting my clothing NOT at a thrift store or Wal-Mart?? lol....
Will write soon...

November 24 Oh DOCtor...! Things have been steadily on track. I started my medications, but this is really nothing to the Fresh Cycle of IVF. I take one shot of Lupron in the morning and then on Monday and Friday - I take a shot of Estrogen. Pretty simple. In fact it's so simple, that I have to make sure I do it. I had a doctor appointment this last Friday in which he put me on a bit more estrogen. He didn't think my uterine lining was progressing quite like it should be. I have to go back to the doctor today. This is good on one hand because a.) I quit my last job, and I start my new job tomorrow and b.) my son woke up with the flu this morning... shouting "Mom! I'm puking!" .... gah.... why was I going through IVF again?? lol.... My transfer date is set up to be December 4th. I will be down that day and the next 3. The 2 week wait to find out the results is going to be excruciating! Jeesh.... right before Christmas. The good part... maybe it will be a really great Christmas after all...
I feel bad that I haven't been quite on track with this blog. It was really a goal of mine, not necessarily for readers, but for myself. I love looking back at my past posts and going... Ooohhh.... I remember that!
Wish me luck on my new job tomorrow. The good part is - I get to continue in the same line of work AND it's only a few blocks from my house. The bad news? It's only a few blocks from my house...
I also get to put on Thanksgiving this year. My dad called and asked if I was still cooking. I told him of course I am - so he and my stepmom will be joining us this year. He then called me a few days later and asked if we would have room for another.... so now I get to spend time with my stepbrother as well. I am also having a family come that I got to know from working at my last job. She is the "Executive Assistant" and over the last year and a half, has come to be a very good friend of mine. All in all, this is shaping up to be a very happy holiday.....
Take care and Happy Turkey Day!

October 18 I'm bacccck!Not that I really went anywhere. Work has been keeping me very busy, and life in general is go go go. I'm getting ready to start the FET cycle.... I'll keep you updated.
K September 17 Lost in Teenager TranslationHere is my dilemma -
I am a wife to a wonderful man, and a mother to 3 wonderful children. At the moment, my daughter is thirteen years old, and going through a series of changes; Some of the changes being the sudden interest in boys. Tonight, a young man called my house and when I answered “Hello?” a young gentleman met me with a soft flirtatious “Heya”. I then asked who it was, and he stated his name. He then asked to speak to my daughter. I handed the phone to her, told her the boys name and she then wanted to disappear into her room with the phone. Unfortunately, in this house that is against the rules. Phones stay in the main room, if you want privacy, you can seek out a corner of a not-so-busy main room. (Yes, I’m a bit old fashioned.) She got all embarrassed, and the young man actually hung up when she went to answer his call. After about an hour of some light teasing, the conversation ended up involving my daughter – trying to explain to me that she is “dating” this boy. This seventeen-year-old boy. She has only talked with him on the phone, but had plans of “hooking up” with him this weekend while she stays at her biological fathers house. I called the young man, and explained to him that she is too young to be “dating” a seventeen-year-old (or “dating” at all), and that I believe that even if she didn’t realize that – he should have. He acted as if it was no big deal, no issue with her being thirteen – at all. I have placed her on restriction, called her biological father, and tried very hard to explain to her why this was inappropriate. I don’t thing she got anything from the conversation except “This will not continue – he is too old for you.” Some great advice would be so appreciated to a mom who is so lost.
