I've been sort of paralyzed with fear. I google everything I put into my mouth and I'm just so anxious to see our babies on Tuesday. The spotting either has subsided or it was truly due to me sticking the suppositories too far up. If that's the case, I really caused myself a lot of… Continue reading Fearfully forging forward….
How many sticks does it take?
The spotting had continued since Monday and man, it sucks. I took a pregnancy test last night again and was worried bc the one of the lines seemed light. Recently, I've been getting the hours between 1-4 am to myself, blissfully awake with only the internet to keep me entertained. So I've read about everything… Continue reading How many sticks does it take?
And…it’s back
And, the spotting or whatever is back. It is so scary and impossible to literally not want to run home and hide in a dark room. Logically, I know that I can't stop the bleeding, no matter what I do, so going home does nothing. It just scares me because today was a particularly stressful… Continue reading And…it’s back
5 weeks
Only one week and one day until we get to see our babies. So far, I'm tired and maybe recently hormonal. I've been very emotional today and yesterday just due to fear. It's so hard having no control over what happens, other than taking the best care of myself I can. Food still isn't sounding… Continue reading 5 weeks
Feelings
I said to Justin last week that if I wasn't pregnant, we should do some blood testing for the reason I'm so tired. I'm elated that I'm pregnant and it makes me feel so much better about myself for being tired. I'm not being lazy, my body is working on creating humans, so it's all… Continue reading Feelings
4 weeks, 2 days
Gestational ages are a weird thing. Even though I know exactly the day I got pregnant, I still have to account for the random two weeks in my cycle where nothing happened. So, my egg retrieval was on 6/18 and my babies were transferred on 6/22 at 5 days old. I found out I was… Continue reading 4 weeks, 2 days
Holy. Shit.
I started spotting on Friday. Maybe spotting's the wrong word to call it. I wiped and there was some discoloration on my toilet paper. This continued off and on throughout the weekend. My friends said it was probably nothing: either an irritation from my suppository, old blood, just a fluke, etc. I was able to… Continue reading Holy. Shit.
Excursions and Embryos
Hello and welcome to the first blog of the rest of your life! It's Wednesday and this waiting is killing me! I'm not wishing away time, by any means, but goodness, it's not a pleasant wait. It's hard not to "symptom spot" as my friend called it, but I'm avoiding it as much as I… Continue reading Excursions and Embryos
Changing plans and finding peace
On Tuesday, at 9:00 AM, I got my fertilization report of our babies. The immature egg didn't mature, the two that were immediately useless were useless, but FIVE of our SIX mature eggs fertilized normally. I then had to wait until Thursday for our Day 3 update, all while keeping in mind the decisions that… Continue reading Changing plans and finding peace
I <3 Eggs
If I've been around your children for any significant portion of time, I assume you've heard me singing "I love eggs, from my head down to my legs...." This commercial apparently resonated with me a bit too much because it's constantly stuck in my head. I thought it was something everyone knew, but I've gotten more… Continue reading I ❤ Eggs
