"Super Fertile Derby Girl" The Short Film

Here’s the documentary/short film.

The Chosen One

So a couple months ago I announced that I was selected to help another couple make a ginger baby. This cycle was going to be a “double” which means in order to cut costs for the recipient I would undergo the treatments and 2 couples would split the eggs. Due to my “high quality” reproductiveContinue reading “The Chosen One”

sorry traffic was a little backed up, i was late dropping the browns off at the superbowl

Ok here goes. I am four days post retrieval and I still feel, pardon the pun – shitty. Or lack there of. I called the clinic this morning and they confirmed what I learned in some online articles this weekend. Sometimes this procedure, or more so the sedation can cause bowels to slow. Ugh…. IContinue reading “sorry traffic was a little backed up, i was late dropping the browns off at the superbowl”

Don’t judge each day by the harvest….

“…you reap but by the seeds that you plant” Robert Louis Stevenson Yesterday, Thursday was the day. The day I had my egg retrieval. I would have written sooner, had I not been completely wrecked. My day started at 6:50am…. It should have started an hour earlier, with a shower running a brush through myContinue reading “Don’t judge each day by the harvest….”

It’s all coming back to me now…..

Oh yeah a little celine dion to get me in the baby making mood, or not. I’m actually trying to enjoy a quiet night at home with some fleece pajamas, an anne of green gables dvd, the FLU and a film maker. Most of those are pretty nifty on their own, minus the flu ofContinue reading “It’s all coming back to me now…..”

Uncomfortable is an understatement.

Had a fun filled weekend, did not get a chance to write about Friday’s visit. So here goes. Another early morning appointment, the FM and I arrived to a room full of people. We were chatting and looking at pictures on my iPod. I think that we might have been irritating the other people inContinue reading “Uncomfortable is an understatement.”

Home stretch

So it’s Thursday and I have another appointment in the morning. I am getting really excited that this is going so well. This might be the quickest cycle yet. If I keep up the good work and CNY keeps loving redheads I can do this egg thing a few more times before my eggs areContinue reading “Home stretch”

Drained, both literally and figuratively

It took me a few days to figure out how to approach this blog regarding Thursday’s appointment with the Fertility Clinic. I’ve been thinking about whether I should be keeping this blog light and fun, or if it should be more informative. I’m going to try to stick to a combination of both. This postContinue reading “Drained, both literally and figuratively”

You’re going to put that where?

I had my first solo appointment this week. I went in to get the oil checked, to get my tires rotated. You know the usual stuff. The clinic staff is used to my entourage. They were surprised to see me alone. It was rather boring, but I was a little less uncomfortable during the probing.Continue reading “You’re going to put that where?”

strangers in the dark? does mood lighting count?

After a long and intense weekend of birthday celebrations I find myself ready for my Lupron injection and a good nights sleep. Friday morning I went to my appointment at the fertility clinic with my boyfriend and my film maker. The film maker met us at the appointment, we were sure that he did notContinue reading “strangers in the dark? does mood lighting count?”
