My donor # this cycle consists of four numbers that add up to the number 7. I was never into numerology before, but trying to conceive (ttc) has broadened my horizons.
The number seven has magical powers. Afterall, it is the number of the gods, featured prominently in Roman and Greek mythology and the Holy Bible. Also, let’s not forget that the number seven can be found throughout popular culture, ranging from Prince’s seminal classic Seven to cartoons such as The Seven Dwarfs. Last but not least, in the gambling world, Lucky 7 images are derived from the game of craps, where rolling 7 wins.
This week, I will have two IUIs and Nadia will be by my side. I have a good feeling about this cycle. Despite feeling bloating and perpetually tired, I feel relaxed and open to the possibilities.
I recently met some other women who can relate to my trials and tribulations. And in spite of their own egg drop drama, they are still standing.
I'm feeling lucky.
About Me
- Eva
- I am a thirty-something African American lesbian, queer, dyke with Caribbean roots in the hot pursuit of a pregnancy. I live with my partner, Nadia. About a year and a half ago the egg drop drama officially began. We had our very first visit with a reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Feelgood. And now I am waiting a few months before I start my first IVF cycle.
What is the Egg Drop Post?
This blog is about a woman who fell deeply in love with a woman eight years ago. It's about a feminist who never believed in tradition. It's about a child of immigrants who never believed in the American Dream. And it's about a daughter who never wanted to be a mother. The Egg Drop Post chronicles how dreams are conceived with blood, sweat, and tears through the sands of time. This is my story but it could be your story too. Like the eggs in an hourglass, these are the days of our lives...

Hurray for lucky 7!
I hope the bloating and fatigue gets better after the IUIs. I was insanely bloated during my injectibles cycle. My R.E. recommended drinking lots of water now and after the IUIs to try to help flush the excess fluid from all those extra follicles out. I think it helped.
I'll be thinking of you and Nadia this week and hoping that 7 is indeed your lucky number!
I think there's even a lesbian bar in Brooklyn called Lucky #7... or is it 13? I don't know. I never get to go out.
I have a feeling you'll get lucky. Our fingers are crossed for you both. Now I have to go add up the digits of my donor number!!!
Found your blog via Bri - Good luck!!
I am all for numerology. Go, lucky number 7!
*waving hi*
Go Spermies Go!
I second the water intake advice. That was very helpful during the bloating stage.
