Thursday will be my last day of birth control; I am very excited one less tablet to take. As of right now I am on 3 prenatal’s, 2 baby aspirins, 1 folic acid, b12 and birth control. I am more excited about eliminating another pill then anything else that’s going on. These pills are honestly annoying to take every morning, although, they have no taste and are the best thing for me. Continue reading

Nurse consultation
Today I had my nurse consul in regards to our next transfer.
I got the calendar with all my instructions and for some good damn reason I feel so promising about it this time. I am on a positive road and I want to stay on it my whole journey during my 3rd cycle.
To give you a breakdown what will happen this time. As you know I am on birth control, which I was advised by the nurse that I would be only on it for 21 days vs. complete 28. I asked her why so short? She told me that’s how it work’s when we do IVF. I will start Lupron on Nov 13th, which will be 17 days in to my cycle. On Nov 20th will be my last day of my birth control, which I mentioned earlier.
Expect period around the 22nd of Nov. Nevertheless, I am a bit worried that it might come later since with the treatment it has been delayed a bit. However, the nurse told me most likely it wont. Few days after my period I have an appointment for baseline ultrasound and blood work. Continue reading
I read an interesting status and comments on Facebook. A female who I went to high school with posted this on her Facebook status: “So I officially signed my papers to get my tubes tide… “ For a second I thought it was a joke. You are 28 years old you were truly blessed to have healthy babies, why would you want to give that up? To make things worse the comments that is written by my other classmates. “OMG I want mine as well but my husband will be upset”. People are so ungrateful. They don’t understand for some it is very Continue reading
Just a Quick Update
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.
This weekend change my perspective.
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.
More update
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.

Emotionally Drained……
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
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.
