I noticed we haven’t had a check in, in a while so I figured I would start it up again. How’s everyone doing this weekend? Any updates or thoughts on stims, egg retrievals, transfers - or really anything you want to share? Doesn’t have to be fertility related.

I just had my blood work & ultrasound done today and I’m on Day 7 of stims. So far only 2 follicles seems to be growing on my right side, my left ovary is always hiding so I don’t feel like I got an accurate count on that side. I have about 5 other smaller ones just hanging out - hoping they will all grow so I can make the most out of this retrieval. It took them 3 pokes just to draw my blood today and I’m feeling pretty drained. Sometimes I don’t know how I have the strength to get up everyday, go to monitoring appointments, mix my medicine, inject myself and survive, all while trying to be productive.

I keep thinking about the light at the end of the tunnel but some days it’s just so damn hard and exhausting. I sure as hell know why they call us warriors because geez this is hard AF but our strength is unparalleled. Today I’m hoping to just put my mind at ease with a walk (to get ice cream) some Netflix and a nap. What are you ladies doing to de stress, not over think and bonus points on how to motivate to be productive.

Wishing you all the most positive vibes ever💗
