Yesterday I started feeling pretty uncomfortable. I went in for my ultrasound this morning, and she asked how I was feeling. I made a face, and she asked if I was feeling tender. I said yes and asked if it was normal, because I feel like I'm being a big baby. She reassured me and said that each follicle is growing 2 mm/day, and I have 21 of them. She said she sees a lot of stretchy pants and skirts on women by this time. I'm still wearing my jeans, but by the end of the day, I definitely want to change into something stretchy. There's a lot of pressure on my abdomen, and it gets worse as the day wears on. I still feel like I'm being a big baby, but at least it's normal. I'm going to just keep plugging along. Back to work!

Yes yes yes, at this point in your journey, feeling uncomfy is totally normal. I felt full. I also felt like I needed to hold my guts. Sometimes the pressure of my hand holding my tummy helped. And 21 follies! Amazing! This is starting to get very exciting! Hang in there - this is... by far, the hardest part. YOU GOT THIS!

Me and Him
We have been trying to conceive (TTC) since July 2012, and it's been a long road. After 4 unsuccessful IUIs (artificial inseminations) and countless heartache, we have decided to move forward with in vitro fertilization (IVF). Even though it's insanely expensive, it has the highest chance for success (75%) and it's our best hope. One of the most frustrating things about our infertility is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with either of us (that they can test). Oftentimes IVF also is diagnostic, so along with hoping for a happy, healthy baby, we are hoping for some answers. This is our journey, and we appreciate any prayers along they way. Archives
