The RESOLVE of the Bay State Annual Conference on Saturday was just amazing. I'm so glad Larry and I went - we did some seriously deep soul-searching, some crying (well, I did the crying), and engaged in some very cathartic dialogue with people who get it - who really understand … Read More »
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.
Yes, I’m still here
I've just been trying to regain steam to post- I don't want to let this journal fall to the wayside (like I've basically let my personal LJ just kind of putter around for the last 3 years). Anywho... here's what's new in life:2 weeks ago: Japan was amazing. 2 weeks, 7 cities, … Read More »
RESOLVing to move forward
So I just bought an annual household membership to RESOLVE's Bay State chapter. For $55, it's not a bad deal. Larry and I are planning to go to their Annual Conference on November 7. Since we're in a state where actively pursing any kind of family building is just not an option … Read More »
I haven’t disappeared…
I'm just overseas! Larry and I are wrapping up two incredible weeks in Japan, staying with relatives of mine. We've been to Nara, Osaka, Tokyo, Kobe, Hiroshima, and tomorrow we're heading to Kyoto for two days and Jidaimatsuri, a huge costumed festival.This trip has provided the … Read More »
You can’t wave a magic wand…
...and make it all okay overnight. Or in an hour, for that matter. I had a second session with my IF counselor (Dr. S) last night, and while I certainly feel better, I don't necessarily have all the answers. If anything, I'm left with more questions and pathways for dialogue with … Read More »
Looking at things in numbers
So my latest round of thyroid function tests have come back. And once again, my TSH has shot up, so now we're up to 100mcg. I was quite frustrated the other day when I actually went back through this blog and plotted my TSH levels over the last 6 months on a graph. And here they … Read More »
L’shana tova, 5770
The summer of '69 (5769, that is) is now past, and we welcome in a new Jewish year. Larry and I are pretty relieved that this past year is over, as it was probably the most tumultuous one in our lives. We started the year with me in a new job, a new apartment, and my very odd … Read More »
Thyroid & General IF Updates
Dr. G sent over my latest results, with more thoughts on Larry's SA. While the numbers may be borderline, they're ok for IVF, but he wants to boost Larry's count when we eventually go that route. Most likely will involve a modified diet and some vitamins.Latest thyroid panel: TSH … Read More »
Today, I’m making myself a promise.
Today I promise to stop peeing on sticks, b/c in this economy and in a single-income household, I simply cannot afford to buy anymore.I've had persistent nausea and migraines for the last week. I thought *maybe* - maybe baby.$13 later, maybe not.When you haven't had a period in … Read More »
Open your mouth and say “Ah-cupunture.”
A bit sluggish this morning... had a very cathartic conversation with Larry last night about how generally awful I feel on a daily basis. And not just emotionally awful- I'm able to pick myself up 99% of the time- I mean physically worn out. I have virtually zero stamina or … Read More »
