After 10 Years Finally IVF -a.k.a.- Wishing4One
- Wishing 4 One
- Cairo, Egypt
- Married 1996. Waited 2 years to start our family, LOL. Kept trying on our own, w/o intervention until 2006. Crazy, maybe but we kept thinking it would happen. 1st & only pregnancy Jan 2006, tubal, right fallopian tube removed. (I did not know I was 6 wks pregnant). 1st IVF May 2006, fresh cycle failed. Two more IVF trials & FET transfers later all failed. So we're tryin' again... 5th transfers a charm- no it failed too, chemical pregnancy. Tried a 6th FET hoping it was "the charm", it wasn't, NEGATIVE on 12-23-08. Doctor thought a good idea to remove my one remaining fallopian tube, had it ligated January 2009. 7th ET in June 2009, hoping that as my tube issue was gone this was going to be the one... wrong again, low first beta of 24 then down to 2.5. November 2009 I did some immune testing. We just finished our 4th IVF in Feb 2010 with some tweaks, a different protocol & some meds to target immune issues & got our BFP, saw 2 heartbeats. Sadly one baby stopped growing at 10w, but our little miracle arrived in Oct 2010. This blog was started as my IVF journey, but it’s outta control…so along with my IVF stories expect to read almost anything.
Celabratory Society
Think of this as the most interesting delurking project you'll ever participate in. After giving back to others at the Celebratory Society, I have decided to participate in it myself. You can understand the project in full by clicking here, but in brief, the Celebratory Society is an online festschrift for a blogger--a way for you to tell me what my blog or actions mean to you. But this isn't about me--this is about you too. And I would love it if you returned to your own blog, started your own Celebratory Society post, added it to the main project list, and gave me the opportunity to tell you about...you. Here is my link to the project: My Celebratory Society Post

I found out from a vet that genetically, orange tabby cats tend to be male....Go figure...males - they get the long eyelashes and gorgeous red hair....
ReplyDeleteFrom this photo, with their body positions as they are, they sure look like males challenging one another.
Get the spray bottle and try your best not to leave out any food...even those crumbs are fair game for a territory fight.
P.S. Alhumdulillah, it's a well known fact of your kindness...I miss your smile...:)

Hmm.... brings back another memory of living in Jordan. Our white and orange male cat, Orville, ended up living in our "hood" and claimed it as his territory. We did leave food out for him at times and yes, we found other cats coming around. It sounds like the other cat is attracted at the prospect of being adopted by you two but it sounds like a territorial male turf thing.
ReplyDeleteYou probably won't be able to get rid of the other cat--in fact; we found that about after a month they'll get used to each other's space although they will probably never be buddy-buddy.
And the growling sounds? I know all about that! Orville and the other cats produced a deep grumbling sound in their throats that could vary in intensity and pitch as they warned off potential enemies.
Oh, and as far as being in heat--if Egypt's cat mating season is anything like Jordan's, you'll find yourself blushing a lot in December and January because that's when the feral females go into heat. They are followed by many interested Toms who either persuade the female to participate or take their "right" as the brutal males they can be.
The males call the females with a cat call that can make anyone blush. I'm not going to describe it because the calls are so embarrassing sounding that the only way I can put it is that they sound like what you'd expect to hear in a human XXX movie (DISCLAIMER--I don't watch that stuff, yuck!, LOL)
Wow you girls are so knowlegeable...thanks for the info. Actually they haven't been back in our garden lately, but I can hear their 'growling' close by....
