What in the Actual IVF is Going On?

February 5, 2021

Finding out that test was negative was like someone kicked me right in the gut, right where it hurt the most. Why the fuck isn’t this working? I’ve never had any issues, irregular periods, nothing. But this left me in a weird spot. A big decision to make. I have one, yes ONE vial left of my chosen donor. And let me tell you, I kick myself in…

The Two-Week Wait, Is Not Fucking Fast Enough.

January 27, 2021

Alright, so we’re about a week through the two-week wait. Someone suggested I tested out my trigger shot. Which basically allows you to see how long it takes for the shot to leave your body. The line was barely visible by day 8 past trigger shot. I decided to stop testing because otherwise, I knew I’d get anxious about the result one way or another. Plus it takes…

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

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…

My At-Home Insemination

April 8, 2019

Well, friends, it’s done. I did it. Ahhhh. If you read my blog post about the process, I told you that I got 2 vials for this round of at home inseminations. I chose to do it at home for the first (and hopefully only) round because it could be more comfortable. I could be in my own personal space, in my own bed, with my chosen surroundings.…
