I am woman, hear me Roaaaarrrr.
Tomorrow it all begins. I have been on BC pills for the past month (and feeling it like you wouldn’t believe). It’s so weird to be back on the pill since I have been off for so many years. The mood swings, the bloating, man it’s real…real annoying!
I go in tomorrow for a baseline ultrasound, stop BC pills on Tuesday and then Saturday I start the Follistim (hormone...
Oh Lawd.
The night before last, well the morning before last, at 4am I woke up in this full blown panic about having triplets! So funny. I seriously couldn’t go back to sleep for about an hour because I started planning in my head for triplets and how it was going to affect my life. I’m crazy, I know. Maybe it’s a premonition. Maybe I’m losing my marbles. Maybe I need a life....
The infertile group.
Yesterday when we were at the doctors office, your father and I were sitting in the waiting room. A couple was at the front desk and I could just see in her eyes that there was a lot of pain that she was trying to hold in. Not actual physical pain, but that pain you have at the pit of your stomach while going through this whole process.
I felt connected to her. Your father might say it’s...
Mama is brave. Yes Hers Is.
We met with our nurse yesterday to discuss the next month and a half and what steps we have to follow to ensure we have the best possible results from doing IVF. Talk about OVERWHELMING. Whew! Within 2 minutes of her showing me how to do the injections I stopped her, put my hand on my head and said “Wow, I’m overwhelmed.” It’s not that I can’t figure it out,...
Always Give Back.
I want you to know one thing about life that I can promise will always make you feel warm and fuzzy…to give back.
I just received a call from my parents that the hotel they’re staying at in Wrightsville Beach, for a wedding this weekend, just gave them an extra room for FREE! We’re staying at my brothers (who lives just up the street from the hotel), because we’re taking...
Anxiety.
I just can’t shake this constant rush of anxiety I keep getting. All of a sudden I’ll get a rush of anxiety from my toes to my belly and then to my chest. The wheels in my head are constantly turning and I just can’t seem to wrap my head around all of my thoughts. I’ve decided after doing some research and reaching out to a few friends that I really need some positive...
We better make history here people.
I have some exciting, but scary, news my dear. We just met with our doctor last week and we have decided to take a step forward to InVitro (IVF). Your father and I have been fighting this battle for some time, together of course. It has been a very difficult decision on when to pull the plug on insemination (IUI) and go to the final step of IVF. We have decided it’s time.
