In this category you’ll find everything that doesn’t belong in another category 😉 Everything about my life as a mom of Liv, wife of Denny and all the brain waves I have. If I have time 🙂
The first injection We’ve been back once for another ultrasound, and my follicle was growing right on schedule. Well done. I’m proud of my follicle. 🙂 We’ve been given the hormone injection which I have to inject at 22:00 on …
IUI after all At this moment all I can think is: I want to try it anyway. The IUI. I ask Denny what he thinks, and his thought is also ‘why not?’ So two minutes later I’m lying on my …
The meeting with the doctor in Bergen op Zoom I am so incredibly nervous when we go there. I just hope that we can start right away with IUI, this month. When we go into the meeting I start babbling …
The File The file has arrived, one week before we have the appointment! Yippee! I open it and read everything, including the results of the semen analysis. I can’t believe what I see there: “motility: 2%”. (in Dutch: “beweegelijkheid 2%”) …
Plan B The word ‘defeated’ also applies to Denny when I get home and see him. What a horrific day! In less than a full conversation it’s decided: we’re not going back to this hospital. We have no trust in …

Still some hope? I am so disappointed. I’ve looked forward to this moment for so long, and now, before we’ve really even started, it’s all over. Another month wasted. I repeat my question to the still uncomfortable woman on the …
Stress After I’ve done the ovulation test I crawl back into bed. I wish Denny good luck, and ask him to call me when he leaves the hospital to head to his work in Den Bosch. Before my alarm goes …
IUI In the last month we did our best, once again. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? We welcomed the new year – 2014 – with the idea that we’ll have a baby this year. I do hope so! At any …
Holiday When I get my period I am a little tense, but also enthusiastic, because finally something is going to happen. I’m not labouring under a delusion of immediate pregnancy, but the fact that we can try this six times …
The step to medical treatment We eat a lot of sushi in September, October and November. I’m sick of sushi. No, that’s not true – you can always feed me sushi! 😉 But, still no baby. We haven’t had any …
