Kelly's Fertility Journey: September 2007
http://kellyfaye.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 26, 2007. Hmmm I KNOW it's here somewhere! OK - appt. is confirmed with the Reproductive Immunologist and plane tickets are booked to Chicago. The whole family is flying out next Thursday and I have a cyber-friend, Lani (hi, Lani! From the Resolve board helping me figure out where to stay and what fun things to do while we are there. That means double insurance coverage. Something of this will hopefully be paid by someone other than me! Fingers and toes crossed on that one. That's al...

Kelly's Fertility Journey: I will survive this . . .
http://kellyfaye.blogspot.com/2007/09/i-will-survive-this.html
Tuesday, September 18, 2007. I will survive this . . . This is my mantra. I will say it over and over to myself, until I have no choice but to believe it. I will survive this. I will not let myself be claimed by infertility. I will fight back - I will survive. I will not be bitter, although I will cry. I will be better - a better person, a better mother, a better wife. This is all I can say to myself today, when there is nothing else to console and comfort me. But it is what it is. I now join the ran...

Kelly's Fertility Journey: Proof yet that God has a sense of humor . . . (assuming She does, indeed, exist)
http://kellyfaye.blogspot.com/2007/10/proof-yet-that-god-has-sense-of-humor.html
Sunday, October 14, 2007. Proof yet that God has a sense of humor . . . (assuming She does, indeed, exist). It turns out that the kittens are only 4 weeks old (or so the vet tells me). In layman's terms, that means they are tee-niney wittle itty bitty things. They really have no business being away from their cat mommy, but since that ship has sailed, supplemental vaccines from the vet and my substitute TLC will have to do. Who knows how many were in the litter. But here they are, all the same. Hello Thi...

Kelly's Fertility Journey: Interesting information.
http://kellyfaye.blogspot.com/2007/09/interesting-information.html
Sunday, September 23, 2007. So, it looks like we may have an answer, or at least the beginnings of an answer, to why we've been struggling to conceive. The testing we intitated prior to our IVF that took weeks to complete finally came in a couple of days ago. It's very strange to try and explain this, because I essentially understand little to none of all the ins and outs of genetics, but I'll do my best. I am so incredibly cynical anymore. Friends, life takes us to some veeerrry strange places, it does.

Kelly's Fertility Journey: Good news/Bad news
http://kellyfaye.blogspot.com/2007/10/good-newsbad-news.html
Wednesday, October 10, 2007. Well, the good news is, I'm now officially covered by BC/BS with a genuine infertility benefit. The bad news is, I just found out that it's only covered at 50%. I guess I shouldn't complain. It's so much more than most other people have. And I am working now, but I'd so hoped to use the money toward other things! IF just keeps taking and taking - it never seems to end. This is big business, it seems. Anyone want a kitty? Like I don't have enough on my plate! You are not alone".

Kelly's Fertility Journey: August 2007
http://kellyfaye.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 31, 2007. Return of the exploding diarrhea! Oh, the irony. Now that I am over feeling like a psycho about sending my son to kindergarten, he can't go! I was sooooo looking forward to today - my first real day - to myself and working on various miscellaneous projects and - god forbid - some peace and quiet! And to ready myself for my upcoming surgery. Bye-bye yoga class that I've been trying to get to for 2 weeks! And why can't you take care of our kid right now? Add in a grumpy 5-year with...

Kelly's Fertility Journey: And we're off.
http://kellyfaye.blogspot.com/2007/10/and-were-off.html
Wednesday, October 3, 2007. So we are about ready to go off to bed. We have to be up at 5 am to hit the road by 6am and check in for our early morning flight. Oy. This early morning kind of thing is not my strong point. But on the bright side, Christopher is so psyched about this trip. I was able to get a good deal on the hotel and rental car - which is a good thing as hotels in Chicago are crazy expensive! So, I guess I was hoping to feel so together, and instead, I'm feeling very scattered. I saw you r...
