We Have a Big, Exciting Update, FINALLY!

January 15, 2021

Last week I took the Clomid all week, had headaches this time which was NOT fun. Saturday and Sunday I did 50 units of Follistim shots each day. Monday morning rolled around and it was time for another ultrasound. Monday (1/11/21) was said to be a really good day to manifest so the whole drive to the doctors office I kept saying this over and over while touching…

Let’s Try This Again, Are You Ready?

December 30, 2020

Listen, I am so damn ready. If you read my last post you know that I have been frustrated beyond belief with the way things have been going on the baby making front. First, only my left (and blocked) side was ready to go. Then, they found a cyst. It’s like my body was just not having it. I went in for an ultrasound this week and found…

I’m a Bit Frustrated, to Be Fucking Honest.

December 14, 2020

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…

My Left (and blocked) Side is Throwing a Rager.

November 4, 2020

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…

Let’s Get Down to Business

September 21, 2020

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…

HSG, blood work, and results, oh my!

July 30, 2019

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’m Sorry! I’m Alive, with an Update.

June 28, 2019

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,…

The Face of a Big Fat Negative

May 22, 2019

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…

Let’s Try This a Little Differently

May 5, 2019

It’s about time for insemination #2 Read about insemination #1 here When I got the call about the blood test being negative, I was bummed. I definitely cried. I was hoping that I was that small group who got pregnant on the first go. I’m not in that group. I do think something happened. Whether it…
