About Us

My photo
After an 8 year battle with infertility and countless struggles, our family is finally complete. This blog chronicles the journey it took for us to start and build the family we always wanted. Background on the blog (started in 2012, just days before I found out the embryo transfer for our son worked).... I decided to start a blog after realizing I have only been able to make it through my TWW's (two week waits) with the help of Google and with the openness of other women suffering from infertility sharing their own stories and giving others hope. I have time and time again found my exact symptoms on other women's blogs and felt an overwhelming sense of calmness they provided me. I thought it was time to pay it forward and hopefully provide this same thing to other women on their own journeys.

17dp6dt - Symptoms & HPTs

Good morning!  Only 1 more wake-up until my final beta!   I just want that beta over and done with (and get a good number - hoping for 5,550+).    I think I'll stop testing after tomorrow's beta as long as it's a decent number.

Symptoms:

Middle of the night - Peed twice but that's only because I kept waking up and was like "mighgt as well pee" - not that I actually had to pee.  lol

Morning - Tongue scraper blood.  Bleeder after the PIO injection.

Mid-day - Nothing.

Afternoon - Cramps after lunch.

Evening - Tiny bit tired.   Ute pulls here and there.  Freezing.  Tongue scraper blood.


Love this one.  This sure has been a looooooong road.  Our TTC journey started EIGHT years ago.  2008.  I really hope we can get to our "destination" this year and finally have the family we always dreamed of!

HPTs:

Loving this view... Clearblue Digital weeks estimator at 3+, dark FRER, and dark wondfos!!!   Beautiful site!!   Praise God!!

A tiny peak into my madness - the madness of an 8 year infertility war veteran:

10dp6dt - Symptoms & HPTs

Soooo, just got my beta #1 results!  See other post :) ....

Symptoms:

Middle of the night - peed once - mild cramps when I got back in bed.

Morning - Tongue scraper blood.  Cramps when I put on too tight of pants. 

Mid-day - A few cramps and some light brown spotting.   Feel bloated after lunch.

Afternoon - Tiny bit thirsty.

Evening - Super tired after dinner.  Veiny chest/arms, tongue scraper blood.

My fear of this failing will not make me a prisoner!!!

10dp6dt HPTs:

Wondfo was a champ tonight!

New curved FRER is still slow to darken but looking good:

9dp6dt - Symptoms & HPTs

Symptoms:

Middle of the night - a pretty vivid dream, peed once.

Morning - Couple ute tweaks.

Mid-day - Weird smelling pee.  A few ute tweaks maaaaaaybe?   Bloated after lunch - pants feel tight (even though I'm at an all time low for the year).

Afternoon - A little tired after lunch.  Little bit of light brown spotting.

Evening - A little tired after dinner.  Little bit of light brown spotting.  Maaaaaybe a boob tweak while laying on the couch?  Tongue scraper blood. 

I need to keep remembering this and push out the fear!!

So nervous to test tonight, I don't know why.  Maybe because the symptoms (the tweaking and cramping and pulling) has vastly dissipated.  Maybe the little babe is all snuggled in now?   This makes me happy though.  Victor's cycle at 9 days post transfer - hardly a single symptom that day specifically too!  

Finally caved at 8:30pm and tested....

I actually did two wondfos tonight because 
I thought the first looked way too light, 
the second one didn't let me down:
