I’ve been trying to write this blog for the last 9 weeks…but I’m finding it hard to write with just one hand! Why one hand?? Because the other arm is busy holding my new little man!
Yes, my beautiful bundle of joy has arrived. Packaged in a 7 pounds, 8 ounce, package. I’m too tired [...]

B is for Baby…
Seeing Double….
A funny thing happened on the way to IVF….. I wound up pregnant. I know, that was such an incredibly cliché thing to do!
So here I am 8 weeks, 5 days, pregnant. I am still living in disbelief and a bit of terror. One of my first thoughts was, “What. Have. I. [...]
Waiting game….
Waiting. Waiting. Waiting…. wait, what’s that… oh right, I’m still waiting! I thought it would only take a couple of days, from the last round of testing, for us to find out if we were officially in the IVF study program; but here it is five days later and we still do not have our [...]
Eggs on film…. an anniversary story.
Tomorrow is a big day. Tomorrow’s testing will be the deciding factor in whether or not the GAME-IS-ON for IVF. Tomorrow I strip, scooch down to the end of a table and spread for a nice man in a white coat (that’s an indicator that he’s the good guy), while letting him explore my nether [...]
Ms. Potential….
Potential… such an optimistic word. So hopeful. So encouraging….. yet, so not guaranteed.
That first date, that job interview, the artistic abilities displayed… such potential….. but really, what really counts is the view in retrospect: did the relationship pan out past the 2nd date, did the job interview land the job, did the artistic abilities [...]

Infertility is totally sexist. Yes, it affects couples, but really the majority of women I come across on the sites are the one’s being [...]
Not Pregnant
I do not consider myself infertile, which is ironic because I’m seemingly not able to get pregnant….
The Clomid did not work. I could feel the Clomid in my system, since I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling pretty damn nauseous. As for poppin’ the eggs out, I don’t know that it [...]
Universe are you there? It’s me… Sandy.
I was truly expecting that I’d be expecting after only one month of trying. From the depths of my inner being I just KNEW it was fated. After all, I AM a positive thinker.
Perhaps I didn’t phrase it correctly when I presented the universe with my intentions, because here I am five months later and my [...]
Reverse and Rewind….
When I first met Scott, I was still riding the high off of my overdose on relationship self-help books. I was going through my “put it all on the table” phase. I was determined to show him all my cards and for him to show all of his too. The theory behind this is: [...]
