Complication

Well, the emotional roller coaster has already begun. I was supposed to start the insemination process late last week, but my period never came so I was never able to begin. I am VERY upset about this because this has never happened to me before and of course it has to happen when I need it to the most. 

There are a couple reasons I may have missed: 

1) STRESS: My mom just had a total foot reconstruction surgery and I am taking care of her by myself.  I don't feel stressed, I'm happy to help, but maybe I am, who knows.

2) CHANGE IN DIET: I have switched to really healthy eating and have dropped about 7 lbs. 

I've also been having lower abdominal cramps for about two weeks straight. I'm going to call my doctor in the morning and see if we can get a sonogram to see what's going on. 

I'm sad that my excitement is now replaced with worry and frustration. It's a wakeup call of just how emotional this process is going to be. A few tears have been shed so far and I'm hoping the doctor can give me more information about what's going on with me.

    I'm sorry, friend! I know how much you were looking forward to getting started with the process! I'm sure it's only a very minor setback and you'll be back on track really soon *hugs*

Infertility

So I have learned this Mother's Day that this day brings up a lot of different emotions. Most think of their mothers, and spend the day thinking about how grateful they are. But that's not everyone's story. While most are grateful for their mothers, Many want to be mothers and have today as a set reminder that they aren't. And others have Mothers in heaven and are unable to be with them. It just makes me sad... I did not have an easy road with fertility. It seems short in the big picture, but it certainly did not feel that way going through it. I tried getting pregnant two times before I went to a doctor. Then I tried 4 times with a doctor, perfect timing and eggs and still nothing. I was put on drugs and my emotions were pushed and pulled from hormones and I followed the same cycle of HOPE, FEAR, DISSAPOINTMENT, and TEARS. Until the 5th time, JOY! It took me about 7 months total to get pregnant. And about $12,000. I am crazy regular and ovulated every month of my lif...

Seeing The Heartbeat

This past Monday was a special day. I got to see my baby's heartbeat for the first time. Also, this appointment was the first time I'd seen my doctor since I'd found out I was pregnant. Backstory: we've tried for 5 months to get me pregnant, altering meds, doing double procedures, the whole nine yards. And my doctor is WONDERFUL, I absolutely adore him. He's hilarious, SO sweet to me and we have bonded through the 5 months of me seeing him all the time about my failed pregnancy attempts. Well, fast forward to heart beat day he asked me if I wanted an ultrasound and I said yes! He turns the screen towards him, I guess to not upset me if he doesn't see anything and he immediately says in his adorable excited voice, "I see a baby and a heartbeat!" YAY!! Then he proceeds with, "but before I show you, I need to look at your ovaries, because I care." Then he turned the screen to me, and before my eyes stood a blurb of cuteness with a visual bulging...

Adam's First Party

Today, I got an invitation to an SMC pool party on September 13th. I was thinking to myself, "Oh fun, I love those!" And then it hit me! Adam will be here by then!!!! YAY!!!!!! He will be roughly 3 weeks old! Now I normally wouldn't be huge on exposing him to germs when he's so little, but because it's outside and fresh air, I think it could be good if I was recovering well. I would just need to make sure he is in the shade the entire time and that he doesn't get overheated.  I'm excited! His first party!! I was excited to RSVP with a +1. It made my day!!!!!
