I know, I know. It’s been a while (again). I’m definitely still in a weird spot after my mom’s death. September 5th was her birthday. She would’ve been 62, and I still can’t help but feel how unfair it is that she didn’t get more time. The next day, my dad finally had the memorial…

It’s been a while, I know. I was a little busy with moving into my new house and whatnot. So. I talked about being on all those medications so I could have some eggs sucked out of me for IVF. The doctor had warned me that the follicle-stimulating shot was going to make me very…

It’s been a minute since I updated about all this stuff. I am currently in the middle of an IVF cycle. I have several medications I need to take daily. One was an antibiotic that I was only on for a couple of days. The other medications are to stimulate my follicles so that multiple…

It has been a hot minute since I posted. I guess I needed time to cool down and all that from the failure of my last IUI cycle. I’m starting all the IVF shit soon. I have a Zoom consultation with them tomorrow and then on Friday I have another Zoom consultation with genetics people,…

So. Yesterday was a day with a lot of emotion. I did even more crying after my husband went to bed and I didn’t have a distraction. I think posting a blog helped. When I feel super sad I always need a way to get it out. I’m not so good at verbally expressing my…

This is probably going to give you all a look into how my depression brain works. I need people to know I have no plans to harm myself or end my life — I feel like some of my thoughts could cause someone to think that, but I promise I won’t. I did my blood…

More than a year ago, I was working on improving my health. I was eating better, drinking less Pepsi, doing Pilates two days a week, and walking five days a week. I was using a walking app and everything. I think I was doing pretty well. Then, as frequent readers know, my mom was diagnosed…

OK. It’s time to talk about the most recent steps I’ve been taking on my fertility journey. The first thing my doctor wanted to try (and I am currently doing) is intrauterine insemination (IUI). I was told we would try it for three cycles, and if I don’t get pregnant, we’ll reevaluate and try something…
