ICLW January 2010

Welcome all ICLW-ers. Its that fun time again, I just love it! I missed it last month as I was travelling, so I look forwad to meeting some new bloggers this time.

I live in Cairo, Egypt and am currently doing IVF for the 4th time. Today is Day 3 of my cycle. I feel really good about everything and feel this is the cycle that will bring us the baby we've been trying for for what seems like forever.

My blog is about our IVF cycles and our cats and my fun filled life in the Land of the Pharaohs. Its gets out of hand sometimes and I am actually all over the place most of the time, but it works out well, for me anyway. I see this blog as great a venting machine and really a relaxation for me. Real exciting stuff here let me tell you.

I love perfume, shoes, cooking, blogging and a good chocolate ganache sauce on anything sweet. A charcoal grilled beef hot dog is one of my favorite "gourmet" foods. The hot dogs SUCK here in Cairo so I miss them so.

Oh, 2010 is the year of our baby. I will be pregnant next month and I ask that you come back and congratulate me then. Thanks and do stop back by anytime.

  4. Half full kind of girl. I like that.
    What's your favorite perfume?
    I support the chocolate sauce and grilled beef hot dogs (especially if they are a little burned!).

  7. Hi Wishing,

    Good luck for your current cycle! Did you do a post on your immune protocol? (Will BBL to check).

    Love your last post about needles, I am the same. I cannot stand the sight of them. I am okay with the actual injection part, but I just can't look!
