Mission TZ3 Cycle Update

Jul. 6, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Mission TZ3

It's been crickets around here lately, I know. I've been doing a bunch of writing on the side, battling depression and having all sorts of weird feelings about this blog space that I'm still parsing out. Also, since only one person registered for my eClass that was supposed to … Read More »

The Depression Confession

Jun. 28, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

I realize my posting has been sporadic at best around here. A variety of things have come up - various writing projects, some job leads, random travel. But mostly? Mostly I've been living under the weight of near crippling depression. Writing has always been in my coping … Read More »

The Gift I Can’t Get My Husband… Yet.

Jun. 13, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Honor the Someday Dads

I love giving gifts, to the point where I start to think very obsessively about not only the gift itself, but the gift recipient. I start thinking about all the little things I know about that person and how to make that gift the most relevant, awesome thing in their life right … Read More »

Our Cycle is Needling Away at Me

Jun. 1, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

IVF Nightmares

I realize I kind of fell off the radar this week. It's been a weird week, for a variety of reasons. It's been ungodly hot and we only just put in the AC two nights ago. I've been battling migraines. And I've been coming to the realization that perhaps it's time to rethink this … Read More »

May. 25, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Keiko's 30th Birthday Wish

I'm not normally one to get all excited for my birthday, but when it comes to milestone years, I get as giddy as a school girl. The Facebook and Twitter messages today have been overwhelmingly awesome. The flowers my parents sent me? A lovely surprise at my door this … Read More »

The Last Night of My Twenties: Musings on the Precipice of Youth

May. 24, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Keiko at 20

In just a few hours, I turn 30. I will spend this evening most likely doing a load of laundry, cleaning the kitchen, and changing the cats' litter. We're having leftovers for dinner. I might even have a beer. I know, I know - livin' the wild life over here. . . … Read More »

G-d Help Me, I’m Nesting

May. 15, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Robin's Egg Nest

A quick post today with some updates on what's new and groovy in my life. I'm recovering well from post-op. Cramping has basically all but gone away (and it was pretty mild to begin with) and now just some very faint bleeding; it could be withdrawal bleeding triggered by the … Read More »

Super Quick Post-Op Update

May. 11, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Hysteroscopic Gangsta

My hysteroscopy went well yesterday. Dr. Warmenfriendly did a fantastic job and the nursing staff at the facility were just incredible. I've never met such genuinely kind and attentive medical personel in my life. He went in to check on that fibroid, turns out I had a uterine … Read More »

A Little Pre-Op PTSD

May. 9, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

With this writing, this now makes the fifth time I have tried to write this post. Each time I have just been wrecked, emotionally, trying to write this. But I'm sticking to my guns and finishing it now, because I really need to, to work through some stuff emotionally. I may … Read More »

We have an egg donor.

Apr. 27, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Egg Donor Announcement

After 3 years, our infertility journey is finally moving forward! I've had this post sitting in my drafts folder for almost two months now, trying to figure out the best way to post this news. If I should post about this news at all. I know, it sounds funny that I wouldn't … Read More »
