February ICLW

I was really looking forward to this month’s ICLW. We would be ordering our DS vials on day 1 of ICLW! We would be conducting our home inseminations on the last two days of ICLW! EXCITING!!!

But then I got laid off. Although I landed a new job within one week, my responsibilities at the new office require that I not be, you know, GIVING BIRTH mid-November.

Now everything is pushed back one cycle (5 weeks). *sigh*

So, instead of welcoming you with shouts of excitement about our sperm being shipped over from California, I am inviting you into our place of waiting.

You can learn all about me, R, and our TTC story here. And about R’s surprising change of heart here. I hope you choose to stick around!

In the mean time, what are you looking forward to most this Spring?

  9. Oh no! What a huuuge bummer having to put off a cycle like that. I had to push off my first IVF cycle because of a change in job and insurance, but I wouldn't have my precious twins if I hadn't! Everything happens for a reason, and I hope you have good luck on your cycle!

    Happy ICLW!

  10. Visiting from ICLW. Sounds like things have been a little stressful for you. It's crazy how things work sometimes. R has a change of heart and you start making plans to move forward, only to get laid off work and have things delayed. It is awesome that you found another job so quickly though! I hope everything works out for the next cycle!

  13. Hi from ICLW. I love your story. I also read up about home insemination from a comment you had linked from another blog. Fascinating! I seriously don't think my husband would ever be able to do that!
