Keiko's Journey

The Infertility Voice™ first started as Editor-in-Chief Keiko Zoll's personal infertility blog, Hannah Wept, Sarah Laughed in 2009, shortly after her diagnosis of premature ovarian failure. Here is the record of her personal journey from infertility to motherhood from 2009 through 2013.

Dreaming in anger.

Feb. 9, 2010 by Keiko Zoll

Had a dream so real this morning I thought it actually happened, and then was so angry in said dream I woke up with a nasty headache. I wish I had written this down as soon as I got to work as opposed to so late in the day now, as the details are fuzzy. Essentially, it had this … Read More »

Let me show you my No Face.

Feb. 7, 2010 by Keiko Zoll

I was hoping to eventually title a post "Let me show my my O face" but sadly, looks like I didn't ovulate. Blood tests and u/s seem to indicate a big fat nothin is happening up in my lady bits. Dr. G put it so nicely in an email to me on Thursday:"The lab tests look no different … Read More »

No answers just yet.

Feb. 1, 2010 by Keiko Zoll

I managed to fail a breast exam today. My doctor's words, not mine. He says I can't be pregnant b/c I "failed my breast exam." I assume that since I had a mildly bemused "that tickles" expression on my face as opposed to clawing at his face while he did my breast exam means I … Read More »

Bingo cards and holding out hope.

Feb. 1, 2010 by Keiko Zoll

A cryptic blog post, yes. Allow me to explain...Larry got a call from a close friend of ours from grad school about some theatre related things, as these boys love to talk about. Surprise surprise, in the middle of the conversation, we found out they're due in April, first baby … Read More »

Two years and still head over heels

Jan. 27, 2010 by Keiko Zoll

Yesterday Larry and I celebrated two years together. It's kind of nuts, what we've been through in the first two years of marriage already, but we've come out stronger and closer. I'm still just as in love with him as the day I walked down the aisle. We went to a lovely French … Read More »

What the hell happned to January?

Jan. 21, 2010 by Keiko Zoll

This happens every year. I work in higher ed, so January just vanishes. November is also notorious for just disappearing. Work has been crazy. I hate my job, I hate the people I work with... it's just a challenge to get out of bed every morning, which is extra hard when you live … Read More »

My Two Week Wait

Jan. 12, 2010 by Keiko Zoll

Ha! Gotcha didn't I?It's two weeks until my two-year wedding anniversary. It's pretty crazy to think that this time two years ago I was finalizing seating charts and making lots of illegal photocopies of wedding programs at work, and, amazingly enough, still tracking down RSVPs … Read More »

Dear Senator Scott Brown

Dec. 29, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

I received an action alert email from a donor agency that Larry and I have been using to browse donor profiles. We haven't selected a donor, but it's a nice exercise in getting us at least mentally prepared for DE/IVF. The email linked to an article in yesterday's Boston Globe, … Read More »

Dear Thyroid: You suck.

Dec. 21, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

My appointment with Dr. G was a disaster. Despite the dosage increase, symptomatically, I've felt the worst I've felt so far (horrendous brain fog, lethargy, sleepiness, coldness in hands and feet - the usual). And yet the numbers say the inverse: my TSH was 0.024 - well in the … Read More »
