I would like the password, please, although I understand if you’re hesitant. I’ve been by a few times (via Shinny’s) and Flicka’s, although I don’t think I’ve commented.
Ahem. I’m Jess. Hi!
Fab Moi
I was born, then “bred” in Nebraska. My home town has a population of less than 1000, but I currently live in one of the larger Small Towns (or is it the smaller Big Cities?) in Nebraska.
I am DD and have Secondary Infertility. We have been trying to have another baby since Fall 2004.
I am 40 and the mother of one boy, X…
Mr. DD is 44 and the father of said boy, X…
XBoy is the 6yr old Miracle Child (conceived easily and naturally - who does this anymore?!) of DD & Mr. DD…
We miscarried a girl, Vivienne (aka Baby May) at 15wks, November 2004 and we lost “Wolf” at 8wks November 2006. Yes, November can kiss my needle-scarred ass.
We’ve had 2 failed IUIs on stims (Aug ’05 and Sept ’05); and two failed IVF/ICSIs (Dec ’06, which ended in a chem pregnancy and April ’06); and a failed FET – because the embryos petered out on us in Jan ’06. We have had two dIUIs (as we thought we were mainly dealing with Male Factor Infertility) which the first one resulted in our pregnancy with Wolf, who, as I mentioned earlier was lost too soon.
On our last dIUI, we were surprised to find that Mr. DD’s SA came back exceptional and no donor was used. May 2007 I found myself pregnant for the fifth time. Again we were crushed when another chemical pregnancy was the final outcome.
I’m finding out the hard way that “old ovaries” are not conduscive to conception.
We were matched with someone for an anonymous Donor Egg (Gamete) cycle, which took place Fall 2007 and am currently pregnant with one fetus after transferring 3 donor-egg embryos. Due July 2008.
Knocked up…then knocked down, my old Blogger blog refered to my birthing (in)abilities as my first pregnancy was successful. Since then, I’ve now had four confirmed and one professionally unconfirmed pregnancies, ergo the knocked down.
T.K.O. stands for “Technical Knock Out” as I think that’s what I am: technically knocked out of the baby-making business, but I have been not been beaten down for the count. I’ve decided that after as many blows to my head (and heart) I’ve taken, I’ve become quite Punch Drunk, another boxing term that explains most retired boxers’ inability to tie their own shoes. I also like the play of Punch, since it can cover those moments I share about my family.
