Body Log
Body log is something that my husband came up with, which I thought was a wonderful idea. Why would I start a body log? Well to answer the question. If you read my previous post I mentioned that in both of my IVF cycles I had low-grade fevers.
My husband made a good point If I monitored my body temperature when I started each cycle I might of known when it actually happened. What I mean by that; my doctor some what believes maybe the medicine caused it to go up or maybe not?
So basically I will monitor my body temperature include both headache and BBT (basal body temperature).
Day to Day IVF Cycle Breakdown.
I’m a very organized individual and like’s to understand what I might be facing when it comes to my IVF treatment; since I had no idea how really IVF works on a day-to-day bases. I began researching, which actually didn’t help since I couldn’t find anything online. It drove me crazy; why not post some kind a breakdown to help others? That is why I am doing it today. Please note that everyone’s treatment is completely different. This breakdown was what I did in May.
I hope it helps and if you have any questions please feel free to comment.

Positive note of the day
Positivity is the key to everything!
I’m trying to stay calm and positive everyday with our journey. Honestly I worried about what is going on with our situation every minute of the day, however, in the end of each journey there has to be light. I believe there must be light; well maybe I’m hoping for it.

Doctor update!

We will be running additional tests’, one for my husband and three for myself.
Both of us will be genetically tested and not the same as carrier, which was done prior to us TTC using IVF.
Second examination will be for my ovaries/cervix, to understand why it’s rejecting the embryo’s.

Positive note of the day
Few days have passed by since hearing the dreadful result from our 2nd IVF. Yes, I am still very disappointed what had happened but I am stronger today and I feel like it will happen if I fight for it hard enough. I won’t give up I will continue doing our IVF treatments, hopefully god will see that and bless us with a healthy bundle of joy.
Counting the days till seeing our doctor again.

I was sooooo excited about my second cycle. I couldn’t sleep or wait to already do it because I knew it would happen. It was final the day to start. I did everything that was needed and it still didn’t work. Here is a little letter I wrote to myself the day I found out.

Our Journey
The first year we tried naturally of course assuming that everything would be okay because we are both young it couldn’t be an issue. Month after month we had nothing and I felt that something must be wrong. So we decided to get my hubby’s sperm checked.
My gynecologist at the time requested a sperm analysis. He advised me that everything looked fine to just continue trying, which we did for the next 6 months.
