One day before my RE appointment and I am already freaking out. Not because of the appointment because my period is almost a week late. All these treatments messed up my cycle. I was like clock work before, got my period on or around 31st day and before 10 am. This is my second time that it is late.
Will keep everyone updated on my result tomorrow.

I have this feeling, which I can’t describe but I know what it is. A feeling, which I had prior to us beginning both of our IVF cycles. Having sometime off from all the medicine and doctors visits I was relaxed again except today. Today I am started to get back into that old feeling but not in a good way in a mix feeling kind of way. I think this happened because of the conversation I had with my husband yesterday.
I never mentioned it before but when we initially started our IVF journey by purchasing a one-year Continue reading
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.
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.

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.

Here is the update on my blood-work.
I had over 20 tubes of blood drawn today; I don’t know how I didn’t pass out.
Here are the tests that I am being examined for.
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).
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.

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.
