Oh Yeah! I have this blog...

Hello strangers!

Oh wait. That's me who's a stranger. I have no exciting explanation as to why I have pretty much abandoned the blog. I'm currently working full-time and going to doctor's appointments. That pretty much sums up my life.

It seems things were much more exciting a few years ago when I could blog about riding my bike around the Netherlands in the pouring rain and making the 12-hour drive from Amsterdam to Geneva when I thought it was only going to be an 8-hour drive.

Actually, between work and doctor's appointments, I have probably driven 12 hours in the past week, but that is not at all interesting or exciting.

I have added yet another appointment each week to my doctor's office repertoire: the acupuncture doctor.

Acupuncture is a mystery. And it's a bit expensive. And it's not covered by our insurance (so what else is new?). And it just might work. Time will tell.

Also, the acupuncture makes me feel either extremely happy or super relaxed depending on the day. So I do believe I will keep going. Especially while all the medications are making my hormones go up and down like a yo-yo.

And while I'm giving health updates, I might as well let you all know I'm having yet another minor surgery done this coming Thursday to drain a cyst that's been hanging around for a couple months now. I do not like hospital trips or anesthesia, and, although the procedure is very quick, this minor surgery does involve both.

I am so disappointed to have another cyst that is acting an awful lot like the endometrioma I had just a year ago. However, after this cyst is taken care of we will try IUI one more time. I definitely feel like I'm coming to the end of my emotional rope with all the infertility treatments. So, I will keep updating, but with this procedure in a couple days, it may be a while before I write again.
