Focus
A couple weeks ago, I shared about my anxiety surrounding the frozen embryo transfer (FET) phase, and you might be wondering, am I doing anything about that anxiety? The answer is yes; I’m trying really hard not to stew in my concerns and worries. But I’ve also been trying to shift my focus. I’ve been…

The Hand-Off
In the last week of June, my IVF nurse told me to pick up a new birth control packet and gave me a day to start it. And then she said a short sentence that gave me more anxiety than I anticipated: “Let me know on your cycle day one, and I’ll transfer you to…

Fourth of July!
I know I mentioned last week that I’d be back to the IVF journey this week, but I completely forgot about the holiday, so let’s talk about the Fourth instead. I’ll plan to jump back into IVF next week. Growing up, the Fourth of July was the biggest celebration in my little Indiana hometown. They…

Family Vacation
I’ve mentioned it a couple times on here already, so I figured it’d be good to do a blog about our recent family vacation to Orlando. We were there June 10-17, and it was a much-welcome getaway.

A New Record
As promised, I’m back on regular blog day with an update. The day of my procedure, I posted an update on the IVF That Facebook page, and as it turns out, the numbers were even better than I was initially told. I’ll back up a bit for just a minute, though, to give you a…

Here We Go Again… Again
Well readers, I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to do a blog post last week. There honestly wasn’t too much going on on the normal blog day (Tuesday), and, as I find myself saying over and over again in this blog, we were “hurrying up and waiting.” The week before, I’d re-ordered all the…
