15 things about my new doggo

New discoveries abound ad we get to know each other.

  1. She loves the sound of squeaker toys, but has no interest in playing with them
  2. She wants any and all food
  3. She loves being under blankets (I need to buy more so we can each have enough)
  4. She hates her winter coat so I bribe her with banana
  5. She has pretty much no interest in her own dog bed (unless she is hiding from me when I'm trying to put her coat on)
  6. Right when we get inside she becomes what I call a 'wiggle baby'
  7. She seems to know her new name (Velma)
  8. She loves sniffing at gum, but actually hasn't tried to eat any
  9. She will always pee in the alley
  10. She has pretty much no interest in or fear of other dogs
  11. She believes herself to be a guard dog
  12. She occasionally tries to get me to pick her up and put her on my bed even though she can hop up all on her own
  13. She whines for food even when I'm putting food in her dish
  14. She seems slightly insulted when I refill her water dish before refilling her food dish
  15. She is my favorite
(Prompt by me)

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

Now, that may sound like I'm bailing out of my fertility journey, but it's actually the opposite. In order to get everything ready for the egg retrieval, I need to hop on birth control for a little bit and then hop off. It feels a bit odd to be taking oral birth control, have a birth control arm implant, and be getting ready for an egg retrieval--but that's how it goes (for me at least--getting to keep the arm implant is rare or so I'm told). People have asked me how I'm feeling about this round of egg retrieval and honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
