When we hang out with our friends kids; we always try to convince the kids to take a no thank you bite. It’s to encourage them to try something new and not make a decision that they don’t like something either by the looks or smell of it, doesn’t matter if we got these friends […]
One of the many things I’ve learned is what foods, products, and supplements you are putting in/on your body. Eat as clean as possible which includes whole foods (proteins, fats, and vegetables) and try to avoid processed foods! BPA is also an issue so stay away from plastics and use glass when reheating foods up […]
I had my lining checkup; this typically occurs around 2 weeks after Aunt Flo shows up. The good news, the lining was trilaminar which is good (we did not have that last month)! At the time of embryo transfer, it is favorable to have an endometrium of a thickness of between 7 and 14 mm […]
One thing I didn’t do when I started on this infertility journey: keeping a file of all my medical records. I have learned that you must be your own advocate and when changing doctors, it doesn’t guarantee they will read all of your history. They are seeing many patients so you must know your history […]
We have the green light to get this party started again! The key was waiting for my friend, Flo to show up. I had a check up today; things looked good and now we kick start the shots and drugs again! The protocol was slightly changed and we will add the uterine wash that I […]
The beginning of my personal leave is not getting off to right start. Unfortunately, my lining became thinner than last week and the transfer has been cancelled. It’s not what we wanted to hear but it is what it is. At the end of the day, we want this to be the best scenario because […]
I had my second check up today as we needed some more time from last week. My lining went from 6mm last Thursday, 2/8 to 7.2mm today, Thursday 2/15!!! My second transfer had the thickest lining at 7.3 back in November 2016. This is GREAT! With that said, it’s not quite there yet per Dr.; […]
Hello! It’s been a long time coming and we are ready to be “public” with what’s going on in our lives. It’s not the easiest thing to talk about without tearing up and feeling like failures. We want to remain “anonymous” so we are using pseudonyms, Janet and Jack. We are hopeful “Chrissy” will come […]
We are now live! This is our actual first post that is open to the world! We wanted to provide a quick update to everyone on where we are at with Baby Chrissy. We have an appointment tomorrow to determine if all looks well and if we can move forward with the embryo transfer (our […]
It’s been a little while since the last update. Not much has been going on as I was heads down after the move on my event. It’s now over; I can breath and return to normalcy. The event was a success! Lots of blood, sweat, and tears. I had some fun while at the […]
