So much of this process is wait, wait, wait, wait, wait now go, hurry!! It’s no wonder people going through IVF seem a little anxious. Every person that’s ever given the advice of “just relax and it will happen” to someone struggling with infertility, truly needs to do a Freaky Friday switch with one of … Continue reading It’s Go Time!!!

Always Another Delay
So last time I wrote I talked about how our first cycle would begin in 2 weeks. I was freaking out afraid I wouldn’t have all my medications in time. I paid cash prices for most, (cetrotide, progesterone in oil, ovidrel and micro HCG), through Freedom Fertility Pharmacy. The process was super organized and they … Continue reading Always Another Delay
Hey! Wait! I’ve got a new complaint.
I no longer have a Heart-Shaped Box. ❤ You totally need to watch a video of a hysteroscopic uterine septum resection on YouTube. It is the hysteroscope with a tiny little scissor-like cutting device on the end used to trim off about 75% of my septum.

My phlebotomist struggled to get blood out of one arm and had to switch to the other. WTF. I got dizzy in … Continue reading Testing Testing 1 2 3

After our consultation this past Thursday, Kaptain and I have made the decision to move forward with at least one round … Continue reading Vacation from Procreation
Elective Procedures
Cycle 13 was a bust. I got my email the day of my pregnancy test around 11a confirming that I am most definitely not pregnant. Even though I was 99% sure this IUI didn’t work, there is always just a little bit of hope until the blood test. Not going to lie, it sucked. During … Continue reading Elective Procedures
A Year of Trying… and Failing
Over the course of the last year Kaptain and I have been trying to conceive. As we have no baby to show for our efforts you've probably already came to the conclusion that we struggle with...
