• Busy day. Worked until 2, then hit the MFA with my smurfbrother. Got home, grabbed Jen, and hopped in the car so we could all eat delicious foodles at Mary Chung's. Yum. I ate way too much fatty food and it was oh so tasty. I keep telling myself I'm going to eat more responsibly and it always becomes, "Oh, next time." I really need to work on that. That and the gym.


• My prenatal vitamins have some sort of weird-tasting coating on them. They smell funny, too. So bizarre. After 10 years or so, I really got used to my store-brand knock-off Centrums, I guess. Aah well. Vitamins. I wonder if I'll end up with super long hair and nails and be the girly girl that time forgot.


• I take far too many pills now. Four honkin' Metformin in the morning and the vitamin at night. On Sunday night I'll start with the 2 Clomids. 7 pills a day! That's insane, especially since I didn't even con myself into being able to swallow pills until I was about 20 years old. Bleh, pills.


• My apartment is a disaster pit and needs to be cleaned in a seriously big way. Also the car. I wish I had an "easy" button. (Megapixels!)


• There was a room full of delicious modern art that I couldn't get enough of. Mmm, Stuart Davis. Mmm, Jackson Pollock. Far too many paintings of ships and boats. I love that the library has all of these free passes to all of these museums. So awesome.


• Nothing else to say here. Blah blah blah. I guess it's time for bed.

if you don't like the prenatals, switch to something else. i had a lot of patients come in and tell me the took their fred flinstones instead of the prenatals.

generally, prenatal vitamins fuck with my... regularity, so i take floradix instead.

Yeah, they said I could keep taking the vitamins I had been taking if I wanted to also take extra folic acid. And really, I just didn't want to take more pills. These are okay so far, but it's only been 2 days and I will definitely look into options if I need them. Thanks!

Thankfully, right now the Metformin takes care of the "regularity" - ha ha. But we'll see what happens when I stop!

p.s. The dresser is totally waiting for you in my Dad's basement. We'll be in town tomorrow (Sunday) but it's going to be in the basement for quite a while. And it's all yours if you still want it. :)

Okay, so in a lot of ways it is very scientific and I do feel all mad scientist-ish but let me tell you, that is so right up my alley that I kind of almost prefer it that way. I mean, sure, part of me wishes it didn't have to be so ridiculous with the actual infertility problems, but not with the needing to do everything in a TOP SEEKRIT LAB.

The math and the charting and the science of hormones and temperature fluctuations and all of that is so freaking fascinating and I hope I am successful in making me a Frankenbaby. And I hope s/he is a real freaking NERD!

You know what I think is cool, though? The whole scientific aspect really kind of gets Jen involved in a way that most Dads don't get to. I mean, we got to sit around and chat about what kind of sperm we wanted, and pore through the catalogs together. We get to do more together than just knock boots. It would certainly be EASIER and less invasive the fertile guy-girl way but, eh. I never wanted to try to have a baby when I was with guys so I think this just shows that frankenbabymaking, like lesbo sex, is just more appealing to my inner freak. ;)

p.s. If you should ever happen to be in Boston, or ever want to drop by, we can go to Mary Chung's. I used to hang with a crowd that used to go there quite regularly and unfortunately, we don't really do that much anymore. But it's so tasty.

p.p.s. I need to find some sort of mad scientist icon for frankenbabymaking.

I'm sure you've already read about this - but the Clomid (at least for me) can cause mood swings. Although I was taking a much higher dosage too...

Yeah, I'm kind of freaking about that. In advance. Which is, of course, what I do.

I just don't want to turn into some sort of crazy, hotflashing, hormonal basketcase at work!!

I'll be taking 100mg/day, at least this time around. We'll see how that goes. Since I ovulated on my own last cycle anyway, I'm optimistic. I have fantasies that it will work on the first try. :)
