How can I describe my ovaries?

So it would appear my left ovary is Daryl Dixon with a fucking crossbow.

Daryl Dixon with a crossbow

Badass.

Well, for me, at least.  Me and my old eggs.  Monitoring appointment this morning showed five mature follicles on the left side and six small ones on the right that aren’t measurable.

The right side is acting all Lori-like, sitting there all pretty, but not doing shit to contribute to the cause.

Last IVF, I didn’t respond as well as they were hoping.  I only had five mature eggs total, so Lefty is really acting as the overachiever in this.  I go back again Thursday, but I am thinking retrieval will be happening this weekend!

I didn’t forget about giving away my book, Hannah’s Hope.

I lied. I did forget to announce the name on time.

It’s these medications, see?  Lupron makes me cry, and Menopur and Gonal-F distract me from all things important as they bruise my stomach and make me waddle around. I feel like Barney must have felt standing next to the skinny girl.

I didn’t realize so many of you have read this book.  The winner is: Ann from A Day in the Life of the Foster’s.  I am not a total douche-canoe and I have already contacted her, so I can’t wait to send her the book.

And so there you have it. Walking Dead references alongside Barney the Dinosaur.  Aren’t you glad you stopped by here to read this?

    HAHAHA this is amazing. Why don't more people compare their body parts to Walking Dead characters?? I'm going to work on it, personally.
