Profile

Lifeslurper resides in a big brown land called Auuustralia. Her early years remain a mystery cloaked in a veil of depression. Age 42 Lifeslurper meets the vague but gorgeous Wobbles. “What took him so long to arrive?” She asks. They make their way together in the world just fine, but are not fine to make a baby – not without some outside help. Enter ART and 2008 the year of 4 IVF cycles & one lousy big fat negative.

Join Lifeslurper and Wobbles as they dither some more.

Day 2 – Clomid (Clomiphene) 50mg

Day 3 – Clomid (Clomiphene) 50mg & Puregon (Follitropin [...]
