Birthday Wish

Written by Kieran    Thursday, 04 February 2010 11:04    PDF Print E-mail
On February 2, I turned 38 years old.  To be honest, I don’t really feel 38. It’s not so much about the number as it is wondering where time has gone?  It was a great day.  Heather and I celebrated together; we enjoyed a meal out, and just spent some quality time catching up.  She also had not started the Provera yet (more on that in our next post!) so her mood was still good (she let me type that!)

He said: What’s up, hon?  You have a frustrated look on your face.

She said: Ugh, I am frustrated.  I’m also angry.  To be honest, I’m frustrated, angry, and irritated.
 

Injection Rejection*

He said: Hey hon, I was thinking that it won’t be long now before we start up another injectible cycle.  Are you ready for another onslaught of needles?

She said:  Injections and needles?  Have you gone mad?  I can’t stand them.  They hurt oh so much and the meds make me sad.
 

Infertility Rhymes!

Written by Heather    Wednesday, 20 January 2010 15:47    PDF Print E-mail
Thanks to PCOS, I’m still waiting on my period to arrive and get this show on the road!  Trying to conceive (ttc) requires a lot of waiting doesn’t it?   Waiting to see doctors.  Waiting for test results.   Of course there’s also that elusive two-week wait when all hope is put on the line.
 

Waiting Game

He said: Ummm, Heather?  You seem a bit restless.

She said:  Do I?

He said: Yeah.  You’re doing that whole leg shaking thing.  You always do that when you’re restless.  Or, (ahem), impatient.

She said:  Well I guess I am a bit restless.  Okay, okay, maybe a wee bit impatient too.  I’m waiting for my period to arrive.
 

Fear Factor: PCOS Style

Written by Heather & Kieran    Thursday, 07 January 2010 09:42    PDF Print E-mail
He said: It’s been a long day.

She said:  It sure has.  You know my track record as a morning person.  Getting up at 5 a.m.?  I do not like - especially when I can’t eat or even have my morning coffee.
 

Resolutions

He said: Well, here we are, at the cusp of another year.  To be honest, I’m kind of ready to say good riddance to 2009.

She said:  Me too.  It was kind of a rough year.  First my PCOS diagnosis, then your azoospermia diagnosis.  Add in two failed IUIs, and yes, I’m pretty much ready to kick 2009 to the curb!
 

The Greatest of Gifts

Written by Kieran    Friday, 18 December 2009 14:34    PDF Print E-mail
Growing up as the eldest of five children, the holidays were a bustling time at my house.   For my Irish Catholic family, Christmas was as much about family as it was the giving and receiving of gifts, if not more so.
 

Heating Things Up

Written by Heather and Kieran    Friday, 04 December 2009 09:38    PDF Print E-mail
She said: Come on, baby, light my fire.

He said: I LIKE where this is going!

She said: No seriously, we’re going to heat things up in here.

He said: Yes.  Yes!  Do we have any whipped cream?
 

Losing It!

Written by Heather and Kieran    Friday, 20 November 2009 10:04    PDF Print E-mail
She said: I’m losing it!

He said: You know what?  I’m losing it too!

She said:  Don’t worry; this whole infertility thing isn’t getting to us. 

He said: Maybe we’d better clarify for everyone else.  What we’re losing is weight!
