About Me

Having been raised by a single mother, it's been my dream to have a "normal" family with a father, a mother, and children since I was a kid. I got married to a wonderful husband Mike eight years ago. I love my job - I am an oncology nurse taking care of people undergoing bone marrow transplant. Mike got his Master's in Clinical Social Work last year. He recently started his career as Substance Abuse Specialist. We thought it was time to expand our family. One year later, I was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve at age of 32 with an elevated FSH level. My doctor thinks I need "aggressive" interventions right away. I am going to have my first IVF in September 2010.

Having a lazy day

I have nothing planned until an evening squash match today. I woke up once to give myself medication in the morning. Then I decided to go back to bed and sleep until now (2pm). I have been having insomnia probably from medication I am on. I have not had good sleep for the past week or so. It is nice to have a day  I can stay in and rest. I'm glad that I decided to do this.

Last night, while suffering from insomnia, I was looking at Resolve's online community site. I'm pretty cautious not going to many online communities because reading too much about IVF from other people makes me anxious. But I figured that Resolve (National Fertility Association) is a good place to go. A big mistake! Of course, I had to read a posting by this woman saying how lupron protocol does not work for people with DOR. I am on lupron but will switch to ganirelix in a few days. I got so anxious about reading her post though. I started doing some more reading. and Yes, It Does Work. It is one of the Sher's successful protocols. I wish people who have no degree in healthcare just shut up sometimes.

So, I'm back to my positive mode and looking at baby stuff again. Today's topic is ring slings. I would love to wear a baby instead of using a stroller. I'm liking this company http://www.sakurabloom.com/ (name suggests Japanese but I'm not sure).
