Dear Embryo 4AB…From Mommy, With Love…

September 13, 2014

Dear Embryo 4AB,

Welcome to my uterus! Take a look around. Plush isn’t it? I hope after you’re done exploring the place, you’ll kick off your tiny metaphorical shoes, and make yourself at home, snuggling into that triple striped lining I’ve worked so hard to build for you.

Your daddy and I have put our all into creating you, in a very unconventional way. Though it’s been a tough journey, no amount of money, needles, bad days, or emotional outbursts can hold us back from remaining hopeful that we will become parents, and be blessed with the opportunity to hold you in our arms one day.

Twas the Night Before Transfer

September 12, 2014

And I’m feeling so…

happy, nervous, excited, scared, nervous, happy, scared, excited

Albert Einstein defined it best – “Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

You Make Me Feel Like a Natural…Psycho

September 2, 2014

Well it’s CD16 (or more accurately CD14 based on how my AF panned out) and things are progressing, but I’m starting to obsess and worry more than I should. I’m finding it hard to separate this natural cycle from my fresh IVF cycle a few months back. As I’m tracking the follicle and endo development, I have to keep reminding myself that I’m not on stims, I won’t be growing a small family worth of follies (nor do I need to), and things most definitely will not progress as quickly as they did while I was roiding out my uterus ha!

N is for Natural – As in Natural FET

August 24, 2014

CD8 and my uterus is quiet. I’m pretty sure I’m technically only CD6 based on my wonky second, post-D&C period, which possibly explains the lack of, well, anything lol.

I’ll be back at the RE on Tuesday for BW and U/S. Looks like we’ll be doing monitoring every other day until we start to get close to ovulation. I don’t expect to pick up the pace for at least another week, because my ovaries consistently arrive late to the ovulation party each month, around cycle day 18-20…naturally.

We Can’t Make a Baby Naturally

August 5, 2014

Let’s be honest, when you’re trying to conceive, the process of making a baby is far from glamorous. Sex is a chore. Romance is hard to keep up. Emotions ride high. For infertiles (and even most healthy couples), it’s not like the movies, folks. Each cycle begins with hope, met with doubt halfway through, and concludes with defeat as yet another CD1 begins. Some will go on to get pregnant, and others will be left wondering, “what the fuck is wrong with me?!”.

28th Birthday and it’s Ticking Like This…

July 18, 2014

My biological and fertility clocks were ticking loud today. 28 birthdays, 16 months trying to conceive, 1 failed IVF cycle, 0 babies. Just a little depressing. On a brighter note, I woke up to a present from the universe…CD1…finally! That brings my “I hate waiting” tally to a total of

Patiently, Impatient on CD37 Post D&C

July 9, 2014

It’s been five weeks and a day (who’s counting?) since my D&C on June 3rd. Labeling D&C day as CD1 for ease of tracking, makes today 37 days without a period. Though the recovery time has been magical (and I mean that), I’m starting to get impatient. My veins are fully recovered, my body (for the most part) feels back to normal, my mind is in a better place and I’m overall feeling fulfilled, except for one…little…BIG…thing.
