Today is Tuesday October 21, 14. I am waiting on my progesterone result and I have an appointment next week with my RE to review our next step.
So far, I am on vitamins, which I mentioned before baby aspirin (81mg), B12, prenatal and folic acid. I take them every morning because of Methylenetetrahydrofolate aka mthfr.
Sorry that I haven’t posted I took a mini vacation with my girlfriends to take my mind off from all the treatments.
This trip was really good for me I saw things that I haven’t seen before meaning the way people acted in different situations.
It was 4 young women; each one is facing a different situation in their lives. Here is a little breakdown.
Seen the most amazing hematologist today she made me feel so calm and positive about my whole situation. After looking over my blood result she recommended that I start Folic Acid, B-12, Double dose of Baby aspirin and Prenatal as soon as possible.
She also advised me that I should start eating meat again at least chicken. I never mentioned before but I am a Pescetarian. Continue reading
Today the doctor requested for me to give blood for progesterone to find out if I am ovulating since last month for some reason I didn’t.
Hopefully everything comes back good because that’s the last thing I need to worry about.
Will keep everyone updated the minute I get my results.

Few days ago when I heard the horrible results I was extremely upset. Crying my eyes our trying to figure out why this is happening to me. But when I finally calm down somewhat I spoke to my lovely husband and he makes a very valued point.
What would they do if everything came back fine? They would be at a dead end. How would they help us? Knowing there was nothing wrong. It’s good and bad news at the same time. Now they know how to approach this situation so nothing happens again. Continue reading
Today I received the most drenching phone call from my RE.
My Blood work results were in. Out of 21 tests 3 were bad; Natural killer cells, Methylenetetrahydrofolate, and homocysteine, cardiovascular.
I knew it from the second I had fevers during both of my cycles that I had natural killer (NK) cells. My doctor said shouldn’t be an issue, which I knew it would. The nursed advised me I had high NK cells. Continue reading
Yesterday I was a bit down about hearing that friends of mine already have a first and second baby, planning their child’s first birthday. however, I need to continue being positive for myself, for my family to understand that it’s not our time yet. That it will happen when I least expect it is long as I don’t give up and continue fighting for what I want or for what we want.
We love each other very much and God sees that he will bless us with a child we just need to have more patients.

I’m trying my best to stay positive but hearing day after day that a friend is having a baby or even planning a first birthday is upsetting to me.
I am very happy for all of them; I truly am. Although it’s painful knowing that I am doing everything in my power and it’s not happening for us.
The other day I had a discussion with a friend and stuff she says, I just want to scream!!!
She makes it seem that getting pregnant is so easy with her comments like “it takes no time to get pregnant” or “ I had a dream about your friend getting pregnant and when I have dreams like that I am always right”. I just want to tell her “SHUTUP!! You have no idea what people go through to have a baby!!!” Continue reading
Here is a photo of my failed embryos, even though, it didn’t work I still love them.
