I haven’t seen Frozen. I will, at some point, I’m sure. But I know there’s this song that everyone lost their minds over not too long ago – and it’s a good one for me right now. There have been a few times in my life where I realized I was going in the wrong… Read More Let It Go, Let It Go
People are funny. I know that’s not news, but going through this process is interesting. It’s always interesting to see the confusion on people’s faces when I tell them my current life plan and adventure. This weekend, I had a moving company help me shuffle the furniture out of my condo and into the house… Read More Thanks, I’m Good.
One of the interesting things I wasn’t ready for with this experience, and especially this blog, is how many people have gotten in touch with me about their own situations – working through fertility treatments, doing IVF, IUI, etc. – and not just ladies. A friend of mine that I know through roller derby recently… Read More HSG & Frosted Coffee
I tend to get excited about things, over plan, and take on too much. Surely everyone does that, right? I hear there are some people out there who don’t, but I don’t believe it or understand it. With that, I should mention I’m moving tomorrow. I’ve been super stressed out all week even though I’m… Read More All The Things
When I first started writing this blog, I got excited. I had so much to say! It was such fun to write again – all the letters hitting the page felt fantastic. I was documenting a new adventure in my life – something I’d been waiting a long time for. Hooray! Yay! And then I… Read More Likes, Follows, Comments
So I went for my second appointment today – the ultrasound. I guess I could’ve bothered to read some of the information I got from the doctor, or maybe even what the internet had to say about “3rd day testing,” but I didn’t bother until this morning. They told me to call when I got… Read More Chicken Pox?
It should be shocking to no one that I went ahead and put together a spreadsheet listing of all the Donors I liked on the website. Honestly, each one has like five or six different PDF files to go through. HOW CAN I KEEP THIS STUFF STRAIGHT? So it’s interesting, because now that I’m looking… Read More The Spreadsheet
So working with the app has me far more aware of my body – why I feel the way I feel, etc. One thing I find interesting is that each day the app gives you a % chance of pregnancy. For 10 days each month, my % goes up from 2.5% – to 6% all… Read More % Percentages %
(that’s me and my little family – dad, me, and mom) Knowing, deep in your heart, whether or not you want kids is a big deal. And it’s also a BIG deal that you follow that feeling. I know people who didn’t want kids, had them anyway, and everyone seems to be a lot less… Read More Parenthood – Warm Up
When Dr Scotchie walked in, I felt slightly less freaked out. I told her a short version of “here’s why I want to have this baby” and we talked for almost 45 minutes. I’m pretty sure I did most of the talking (shocking), but she said I was on the right track to be off… Read More 05/19/16 – Appointment 1 Con’t
