Hi, hello, it’s me. I know, I know, I owe you a birth story and beyond post. Last I posted, we ended the day before induction, and then I ghosted. Well, I had a kid, and that solo, plus running a business, and all the things, it just didn’t fucking happen. But it will, I PROMISE! For now, I really wanted to give you a list of items…
This was written on March 5th. So the second trimester started with more energy but not so fun pelvic pain. It also meant I graduated from my IVF clinic and was officially an OB patient. It was bittersweet leaving my IVF doctor because she obviously made this whole thing happen. But obviously, I was excited to keep this babe growing, and get to see him a bit more.…
I cannot believe I didn’t post here. It’s not surprising; the podcast has gone quiet too. I had my transfer, and then BAM fell off the blog world. Well, it’s been a fucking whirlwind. It took about 12 tests to fully believe what I was seeing. There’s an actual line. Then I got the positive digital test, and I was shocked. It worked. It fucking worked! My first…
Mug available in my IVF Collection So much has happened since my last post on the 7th. I took the Letrozole, did 2 days of Gonal F, + went for a check Monday. My lining was thickening & my follicles were growing. Yay! I then continued the Gonal F shots + on the 16th, and I added Cetrotide to stop me from ovulating early. My follicles grew in…
Trust me, I know; it felt like it took fucking forever to get here. But we’re here! I started my period while in CA, which I had a feeling I would, and I discussed it with the nurse ahead of time. I took my birth control with me just in case; that way, I could start it + get my cycle on their schedule. CA was a blast!…
It seems like it’s been forever since we started this. I had my first appointment on April 26th (2 weeks post-op). I started Letrozole then went back for another check. Then after that check, I started Gonal F. Went back in a few days, another check. Upped the dose of Gonal F, another check. Now I’m still on it and another check. We’re now one month post-op. IVF…
Listen, going through trying to conceive, whether traditionally, or with the help of a fertility doctor it is stressful as fuck. And most aren’t parents yet, though, with embryos on ice, my friend said “you’re a mama now regardless!” It hit me like a ton of bricks because she’s right. However, in the pursuit of trying to have a baby it’s stressful, hard as fuck, and taxing on…
In case you missed it, I had surgery to remove my left Fallopian tube. This needed to be done before we could move forward with the embryo transfer. A swollen tube (hydrosalpinx) can leak fluid that can cause an embryo, not to implant. So this fucker had to go. We (me + mom) had to be there at 6 am! And if you’re familiar, you know I do…
I swear I just posted but I realized it’s been a while. I keep Instagram the most up-to-date, for sure. But in case you missed those, here’s the latest update. From the PGS testing, I got results on 2 embryos! 1 of them didn’t get enough cells initially, so I had to wait another week while they thawed it, re-biopsied it, and retested it. Stressful! Then we finally…
I got a ton of DMs about the overnight oats I posted. If you have followed me for a while, you know about the meal plan. If you’re new, I started fixing my eating habits, first with the 21 Day Meal Plan, and then I followed it up with her Tiffany’s Faves. I lost 48 lbs total. And surprisingly have done a pretty damn good job keeping 98%…
