Progesterone Makes Me Stabby

Posted on January 8, 2012 by

Caved.

Posted on January 5, 2012 by

BRING IT.

Posted on December 12, 2011 by

The progesterone worked like a charm – just like last time, AF arrived on the second day after I stopped. That brings my previous cycle to a grinding halt at 41 days, much nicer than 60+! (Though it would be … Continue reading →

Posted on October 22, 2011 by

So I have to say, this is the most boring wait of all. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to be hopefully setting up for a good, positive, month ahead – but it’s just.. excruciating. I’m on Day 4 of … Continue reading →

First RE Visit .. it’s done!

Posted on October 19, 2011 by
