Knocking out those resolutions early

[judecorp]

I have an initial consult at Boston IVF at the end of the month. You know, just to see what my options are.

Eeeeeeee.

I am on a yahoo group for lesbians trying to having babies and a lot of them use them. I hope it goes well. I have my fingers crossed.

Thanks! My doctor's office pimps them out left and right, so I know lots of women must go there. I hope they have good news!

Don't get too excited until they say I have good chances. :)

and good luck judes. i fully support your pursuit of becoming a host organism. i did not call babies parasites.

Unfortunately, Hope and Megan are already naming their baby Quinn and now I can't, which is the saddest thing ever! Oh well, I guess that means you'll always be the nearest Quinniepants to my heart!

Don't make me send you a Baby Einstein video!

Yikes, we could all be parents together! How effed up is that? :)

[oddharmonic.livejournal.com]

Oooh. I hope it goes well for you!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Me too!

Ooooh, good luck!!! It's such an amazing adventure :)

I highly recommend the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. It details how charting your cycle can help with a whole host of women's-health issues, including trying to conceive and early diagnosis of any reproductive issues. We used charting for 18 months as a successful means of birth control, and then were able to conceive on the first try when we wanted kids.

I'll second that. 6 months BC, and got Sprout on the second month of trying.

Found here.

Yeah, I'm familiar with TCOYF and have read large sections of it. If it's even possible for me to have kids (which is what I'm going to the fertility consult to find out what my chances are), I'm going to need to go the serious medical intervention route. Bummer. I wish I could just chart a couple of cycles and get going. Hell, I wish I /had/ cycles.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I've read good chunks of TCOYF and it is definitely full of interesting stuff! I'm not really able to do much in the way of charting, though, because I'm anovulatory and don't really have any sort of cycle to speak of. In fact, it's only this past year through the help of a ton of Metformin that I've actually had any sort of spontaneous bleeding on my own, which is why this might actually be possible in a way that I've always been told would probably not be. (Though I'm trying not to be convinced of this. I really don't want to set myself up for heartache.)

Before I started taking Metformin, my last period was two years before (and only because of Provera). That would be one hell of a long chart! You fertile people don't know how lucky you are. :)

Damn....

Well I'll be keeping you and Jen in my thoughts and prayers as you embark on this. Best of luck.

Thank you much, ma'am.

As an aside, Julia is gorgeous. :)
