Today I had my WTF appointment with my fertility doctor, Dr. B. I left the appointment just as confused and frustrated as when I went in. I walked into the appointment with some hope that there would be a simple answer as to why my pregnancies aren’t lasting and why 3 out of 5 have ended at the… Continue reading My WTF Appointment

This week was the end of my fifth pregnancy. I had to say goodbye to all of my hopes of having a successful pregnancy and I had to accept that it was over for me.

I didn’t get horrible news, but I haven’t received really good news either. One embryo was good enough to send off to get biopsied today for PGS.

It’s here. It’s finally here…my IVF calendar. I am ready to get started. I am eager to get started. I just want to hurry up and get started. Can you sense just how impatient I am? Can it just be the end of April already!! I feel so many things towards getting started on… Continue reading My Calendar
In my everyday life I am very indecisive and impulsive. In my life that revolves around trying to conceive I am not as impulsive or indecisive. I have to think out and research every option until there are piles of paper thrown all over my house. At times I feel like a hoarder of information because… Continue reading Decisions…Decisions
