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.

6dp6dt - Symptoms & HPTs

Haven't tested yet today.   I am going to try and hold out until this evening.  We'll see how well that goes!!   I did update yesterday's post with some more photos from last night's test.

Symptoms:

Middle of the night - slight cramps after peeing

Morning - Tiny ute tweak

Mid-day - Cramps/bloat at lunch, a bit of brown spotting after wiping, ute tweaks

Afternoon - heavy spotting / brown flow.  I spotted during Victor's cycle on this day but this is way more than that.   Freaking out.  Took a nap to pass time.   Still brown spotting after but not as bad.   Please just be insane implantation spotting from being on lovenox!!  Slight cramps too.   Oh, I made Mike give me another PIO injection to rule out AF trying to show.   Going to do 2cc a day starting tomorrow instead of 1cc.  They up it as you get older anyways.  I'll be advanced maternal age this year (35) so that's just what I'm doing (and no, taking extra isn't bad, but not having enough is VERY BAD).   

Evening - Still spotting a little.  No where near as badly as this afternoon.  Covered the whole panty liner before!  Acne between boobs.  Maybe veiny?   Maybe thirsty?  Tongue scraper blood (I use a tongue scraper and a consistent "symptom" is when I scrape when pregnant a little bit of blood is drawn).


HPTs.... still super light.  Was hoping for a nice darkening since yesterday but really, it looks the same as yesterday.   


This is actually yesterdays around 45 minutes and today's around 90 minutes.  I made this mash-up photo because today's is actually lighter than yesterday's DRIED test.  So I had to cheer myself up by comparing them when they were both still a little "new".

PLEASE GOD LET ONE OF THESE BABIES STICK!  PLEASE!!!

If they don't, I have this inspiring me!  (A dear friend shared this with me.)

4dp6dt - Symptoms

Symptom Watch

Morning - peed twice in the middle of the night (normal for me though)

Noon - one teeeeeeeny tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny (light tan) spot

Afternoon - Tiny instantaneous lower right ute pinch

Evening - Weird pinging in my cervical area, acne on chin and between boobs, thought I seemed veiny after a hot shower (I'm typically like that lately tho), thirsty, a little more tired than usual....maybe?

To keep me sane during the work day (even though I'm working from home I still get stressed), I've been listening to flute meditation music.  This is a good one on youtube I have playing:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH8nsXpxlxU

I also have had incense sticks burning non-stop next to me!!!

This one made me laugh:
