Transfer Day

Waking up at 7 am to insert a huge pill into your vagina is not the greatest thing but so worth it.

After inserting that I fall back asleep for another hour. I get up and leave my house by 9:30 at 10:00 which is about halfway to our doctors office I have to stop off at a convenient store to empty my bladder and buy a huge bottle of water. Back on the road and between 10:00 and 10:20 I have to drink at least 32oz of water…. and not pee! After getting to the office you get to pee a little here and there to help position your cervix. Then they will put a tube through your cervix and into your uterus. A smaller tube will be inserted into the other tube. Once it’s in there and through the other end of the larger tube they watch on an ultrasound and you will see two little bubbles float on through into your uterus. Those little bubbles are your embryos.

Results

Well yesterday was my egg retrieval. We got a total of 14 eggs! I’m praying they do good. Today I started taking an antibiotic, medrol, and my vivelle patch. Our transfer is going to be this Saturday and I’m so so excited! I’m just praying and praying that at least on egg sticks! My husband and I already picked out names, we just couldn’t help ourselves. I’m not going to tell y’all yet though. Y’all have to wait until we at least know the sex.
   Yesterday I was in so much pain. My ovaries felt like watermelons and each step I would take I would get sharp burning pains through my abdomen. I was even getting sharp pains in my back each time I would bend over. But that all stopped after they took my eggs out. I was sent home with some pain medication though because the slight period cramp feeling your supposed to get after the retrieval turned into sharp excruciating pain for me. I was expecting it though since its exactly what happened last time.

Looks like hubby and I are going to be part of the Eeva study! I’m so excited. I have 20+ follies growing and I swear I can feel them getting bigger everyday. I also started my Cetrotide today. One step closer!

First Day Of Shots.

This morning is my first day for my medication and I’m excited! Not so excited about sticking myself. But it’s really not that bad. I’m just praying that it all works and that we have a beautiful baby next year.

Guess What!?

      

   I got my IVF medication today and I am just so FREAKIN excited! I will take my first infection on Thanksgiving and will hopefully end up with an amazing Christmas present. Reality is really hitting me hard in both good and bad ways. I can’t sleep fit the excitement and anxiety taking me over. The thought of carrying another baby is so bittersweet. I want it so bad and the feeling of finalization in this round scares me.
This is it, I’m on my knees just begging that God will show my husband and I some mercy. Screaming and crying these guttural sounds in hopes that he would feel the want in our souls.

Hello Lovely.

Okay my project is starting off bad but I feel like I’ve been running around like a crazy person. I want to start off by saying that my IVF meds have been ordered and will be shipped out tonight, thanks to a wonderful woman I call my sister. I am starting my IVF this week and I am so excited and so terrified at the same time. I can feel my heart racing at just the thought of it all. I know this journey is going to be so hard and it may end tragically but I’m so ready to start it. This is the last chance I’m giving myself at carrying a child. If this doesn’t work I will be done trying. There is only so much heartbreak a woman can take. With each baby I have had they have taken a huge chunk of me when they left and a person can only lose so much of themselves. So fingers and toes crossed!

Now on to the festivities! So todays prompt is

“Something You Feel Strongly About”

Food isn’t just something that we put in our mouths so we don’t feel hungry anymore, but it’s what fuels our body. I feel very strongly about diet and what we put into our bodies and what the “surgeon general” has said is actually okay for our bodies. There are so many different chemicals that we take in that we don’t need. So many additives in our food that it is actually causing sickness amongst us. It is killing us and it’s just being fed to us more and more and there isn’t anyone stopping it. I don’t understand how or why organic food is so much more pricey than GMO food. It has less chemicals and less additives but where I live you will have to sell an arm and a leg to afford just organic food. Point is that I just find it absolutely disgusting what is allowed to be sold and consumed.
