It seems crazy that my last update was a month ago. But I had to wait the 2 weeks for my period to show up before starting the process alllllll over again. So my cycle started the week of Thanksgiving, meaning I would have had to go in that Wednesday or on Thanksgiving. Which obviously wasn’t possible, so yet again I started the birth control to push my…
So here’s the latest. I went on Monday after taking the Clomid all last week. Followed by a shot each day of 50 units of Follistim. The ultrasound (sped up + showed below) looked good to my naked eye. I could tell by the measurements that my left side was definitely better than my right. They recommended we up the dosage of the Follistim Monday & Tuesday, and…
The day finally arrived, albeit late, but my period finally started at 11 pm on Sunday. I text my doctor to set up my ultrasound appointment for that next day. They called me back, and well the lame insurance here in Nevada + they need a prior auth for the IUI cycle. This means my doctor should have told me to call 5 days before the predicted start…
If you remember this post, I talked about the next steps or the ones I was planning to take before I postponed to do testing, and then further postponed because of a stupid dude. Well, it’s just about go time again. Basically a year later after postponing, which is still crazy to me. So as before, I call the doctor on day 1 of my cycle, to go…
An update, a year in the making. I know, you’ve been waiting. I’ve had a lot of DMs and messages over the past year asking me “what’s happening with the baby thing?!” I do everything pretty public, and you all supported the journey, so you’re definitely owed an update. If you didn’t see my Instagram posts with some details, you missed quite a bit. About a year ago…
So if you read the last post here, I mentioned the next steps of calling in on Cycle day 1 to have an ultrasound on Cycle day 2. So I did just that. It was my first ultrasound and it was a breeze. It only took a couple of minutes for her to check everything she needed to. The first thing she measures in the video is my…
I apologize for the delay in posts. There was a slight delay in the process moving forward due to waiting for insurance to approve me seeing the fertility Dr. and then approve the procedure and things. This is going be a long one to catch you up on all the things. My initial appointment with Dr. Cindy Duke was amazing. I love that she’s a badass who has…
I am so sorry it’s been a hot minute since I’ve blogged. Things have been crazy busy. Between the businesses, going out of town for a week, my birthday (and birthday sale), it’s been busy. Throw in the fact that I went to go buy a few more vials of sperm to add to the storage, and he’s out. Completely fucking out. He’s no longer donating, and honestly,…
If you’ve never really tried to get pregnant, in the sense of where you’re tracking shit, really waiting for the TWW (two-week wait), and just crossing your fingers your period doesn’t show, then you don’t know the agony. The agony of trying not to test too early (which I did the first attempt). To just waiting and crossing all your limbs that your period doesn’t show up. If…
Every time I make this, people ask for the recipe. I figured why not turn it into a spot you can always refer back to. I’m not like the other bloggers. I’m not going to give you my life story before actually getting you to good shit on how to make it. I will tell you why I love this shake. When I go anywhere and order a…
