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…
Someone said that to me and it hit me hard, like I guess I am! So I’m rolling with it. So Friday night mom and I had dinner, did a little gambling, came home early to relax, watch some tv, and then head to bed. Well, I slept for shiiiiiiiit because I was so anxious. But before bed, I used it as a time to manifest the shit…
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…
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…
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…
We talked about the shit you have to avoid, so now let’s focus on all the good shit you get to eat and should be eating! So you’re trying to get knocked up, whether by a partner or via donor, and you really want it to stick. Why not eat foods that are known to boost fertility? I’m a lunatic so I’m loading up on all of them…
A 2017 study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that many women aren’t eating as well as they should be when they’re expecting a baby, which means they probably aren’t while trying to conceive (TTC) either. Let’s be fucking honest; fast food is the most convenient thing out there. Some shit that’s marketed as healthy are actually full of sugars and other shit you really…
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.…
It’s about that time to make a baby. Even though I’m prepped for this, it’s so fucking weird to say that. It’s weird to think that this time next month, I could be pregnant. That this time next year, I could have a 3-month-old. I am trying the first two vials at home because I feel like it’s a more comfortable environment, it can a little more similar…
