Wow, there is nothing like a late arrival at the bar, huh? Can I squeeze in here? I’ll take a vodka and OJ please! I’m living it up the next 3 weeks while I’m on BCP”s for IVF numero uno. I just got the all-clear to start the IVF party – awesome.

Oh boy, do I need a drink! A very fruity but not overly sweet drink, that is plenty strong, the fact that is nicely disguised under the fruitiness. A Blue Aruba, say.

I’ve had an ear infection for over a week. It’s finally getting better now, with a new set of antibiotics– the first prescription apparently didn’t work. But I could deal with that, I think. What’s really getting me down is that I didn’t get the job I wanted for January, not even a phone interview. There are very few jobs posted around here for September. And the one I just spied today that I would be perfect for probably won’t hire me because I don’t formally have one of their requirements, even though I would totally rock it.

I am going to apply for adjuncts, and look for tutoring jobs, and I am sure we won’t starve. But what I really want is a real position where I can do some real independent work, and have the respect that I fucking well deserve at this point. Sigh. I guess I need another Blue Aruba.

Here is a blog that I came to care about and has disappeared without a trace onemustcontinuetobelieve.blogspot.com

And if you need help writing blurbs for Creme de la Creme, I could put my hand up for a handful……. if you need to outsource

And also, (hope I’m not over stepping the line here) a little linky thing like the “rooms” at the top of the blogroll list would make the Creme even more delicious if that is possible – maybe more theme or feel rather than diagnosis. Scrolling down 220 got a little confusing as to where I was up to.

Thanks for your hard work Mel

Cheers to you

I will have one super-sized margarita.

*sigh*

Welp, after finding a 7cm hemorhaggic cyst on my ovary in a yearly check-up, I went in for lap #2. During the lap they discovered an even bigger problem…stage IV Endo. The plan is to start Lupron for 6 months to give my tubes time to heal without scarring – this of course is only if I get approved for free meds. Insurance doesn’t cover injectables and we don’t have $4K laying around.

For now, we are just playing the waiting game…

I’ll take a mojito. Isn’t that the best girlfriend drink? We just started with a new RE yesterday. Had a miscarriage at 6 wks in September. Hoping that it doesn’t take us very long to get a sticky one, but all together, things aren’t too bad. Best of luck this month to everyone else.

Hi, all. I’m new here but I thought I’d join in. I’ll have a glass of a really jammy California zinfandel, please. I better make it quick, as I start Letrozole tomorrow for the first time (switching it up from the Clomid for my 2nd IUI) and am not really sure how I’ll react to that. After almost 2 years of TTC and weeks at a time of not drinking, my tolerance for alcohol is gone. But, hey!, at least I’m a cheap date. And it turns out, no need to worry about me accidentally getting pregnant if we wind up in bed together. (yeah, gotta laugh or I’d cry all the time.)

I’ll have a nice cup of tea, please. I went in for egg collection this afternoon thinking I had four nice follicles and hoping to get two or three eggs out of them – so how excited am I to have a whole half dozen?! Of course, I now have to wait to find out if any of them fertilise, but so far, so good…

It’s my first time here–Hi everyone! I’d like a white Russian… make that a double please!
After stressing about it for the past 2 months, I just missed my CD3 FSH & Estradiol b/w. CD5 and the office STILL hasn’t returned my call to schedule it. This is not the first time they’ve slacked– it took them 2 months just to tell me my pathetic AMH results. So now, I have to wait another month to find out if I have time to wait… maybe I need to find a new doc?
On the non-hormonal side of life: my 21 yo brother just got engaged to a chick he’s known for 10 months, 8 of which he was deployed. He can’t wait to be a dad, she never wants kids. As a very recent divorcee, I’m feeling very optimistic about his future marital bliss.
Now, back to a research paper due Friday.

I’m down for a shot!

I have a bunch of as-yet-unbloggable things going on, some good some bad, all of them drink worthy, so set me up with something yummy! Perhaps a White Russian, in keeping with the Creme theme?

Oh, just give a pitcher and turn up the music – I want to let my hair down and dance and flirt and give everyone something to point and stare at while I have a bit of fun.

Best that way… a drink and a chat and I think I’d bore you all with my worries over quitting my job. Oh and I get to go to the menopause today to look again at HRT. The last time I went didn’t go so hot… but I am trying to be open minded and go again. No work tomorrow, so bring the drinks round… I don’t particularly feel like being in control or grown up right now.

shots anyone?
