GET SOCIAL WITH ME

This cycle is truly moving at the speed of a snail. For those who don’t know, my next cycle we will be taking Letrozole to try and “move ovulation up” and I’ll be going in for a few baseline ultrasounds to check on my follicles. If they see a follicle they like, I’ll be doing a “trigger shot” to trigger ovulation and then we have to baby dance with a certain window. Isn’t baby making fun? I’ve been so positive about this plan, my doctor feels so good about it too. I have never wanted my period to start so bad! Only a few more days! 🤞 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Where are you at in your cycle? Let’s try and find a #CycleSister in the comments! And if you’ve done the Letrozole/trigger/timed intercourse before - give me some pointers or success stories! Think about this for just a second, does it speak to you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Often times we are too busy focusing on what’s worked for other people and when it didn’t work the same for us, we are disappointed. While trying to conceive, I’ve done this numerous times. I’ve literally spent hundreds of dollars trying any product that worked for Jack & Jill. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I scroll on social media and see an old friend with her (what seems to be) perfect husband, perfect home, and now a perfect baby. Naturally, you think “what did they do to deserve that kind of happiness” but that’s so wrong. For all I know, they struggled. Or maybe they didn’t. That still doesn’t mean anything for my journey. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have a bad habit of comparing myself to others, when I shouldn’t. But the reason that I do is because I always thought that life worked in a certain order. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I also never planned to see the diagnosis “infertility” on my OBGYN’s Office notes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What screwed me up most, was 100% the picture in my head of how I thought it was supposed to be. 👆If you relate to these thoughts, you aren’t alone. It’s totally normal. We will get through this together. 💕 Just because I don’t share photos of my face or my day to day life on my blog, doesn’t mean I’m not someone you can relate to. So I wanted to share five totally random facts about me! 🙃⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If we have something in common, tell me! I love getting to know each and every person I interact with through my blog!⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1️⃣ My favorite TV show is “The Office” and even though my husband and I have watched it literally 20 or so times, I cry like a baby at most Jim + Pam moments because they are everything to me. I also just think that John Krasinski is my dream hunk! 🗄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2️⃣ I work in real estate! I used to think my dream job was anything medical because I am a total science nerd but after we bought our house (first time home buyer at the time) 4 years ago, I was so intrigued by real estate and did a lot of research, schooling, and studying. I signed with a company to be in sales and they actually offered me a salaried position (which anyone in real estate knows to jump at that because working solely on commission is rough sometimes). I seriously love my job so very much!⠀🏡 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3️⃣ My brother is my best friend and when I was younger, I never thought I would say that. As we have gotten older, we grew really close and he is just someone that I can tell anything to and he never judges me or oversteps. But he is also in the military so there are a lot of worries that go along with that too. Plus, he is always so far from me! I constantly miss him.🛩⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4️⃣ My husband and I moved in together after 6 months of dating. And it somehow really worked for us! We were really drawn to each other from the beginning and just always wanted to be together. Now we have been together for over 6 years and every year, I swear our relationship grows more and more.⠀😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5️⃣ I’m now a southern gal (born in New York though) but still love my NY pizza. In fact, New York style pizza is my favorite food of all time! I could eat it daily. BUT since I am in the south, I now love to dip my NY style pizza in ranch dressing. Trust me, if you haven’t tried it, you need to!⠀🍕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think about this all the time, and it’s one of the only reasons that I am thankful for this struggle. I can’t wait to one day tell the child that I cried for so many times, how loved they were before they were even created in my body. My appreciation for the gift of life is going to be so powerful, because it took me awhile to get there. Does anyone else agree with me? 🙏 DID YOU KNOW that I have FOUR dogs? 🐶 Yes, you read that right, I said four dogs! I am a crazy dog lady but I don’t mind. Even though I have a lot of dogs on my hands, I cannot wait to be a mommy to a sweet little babe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who else has the “dog mom” title for now? Comment below and tell me how many and what breed you have!💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have a Chiweenie (Chihuahua + doxie), Beagle-Doxie mix, mini-doxie, and a pit-bull mix (although she’s only 27 pounds)🐕 This quote hits home as I think about my present and future. I thought that so many of you would appreciate this too because oh, how true it is. Honestly, I feel that the quote says everything so I have nothing else to add. 💭 🍍 I know that some of you out there struggle with a short luteal phase (the time between ovulation and the end of your cycle) because when I first shared a blog post about how I was using Progesterone cream to lengthen (and strengthen) my LP, I got so many questions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After using it for three cycles, I finally feel like I am able to share all of my knowledge on the product! Head to the link in my profile to read all about my experience using Progesterone Cream and how I lengthened my luteal phase in the first cycle that I used the product! 😊👋🙌 Today’s quote of the day is brought to you by Thomas Edison. 💡 This is so true for so many seasons of life but figuring out all of those ways that DON’T work, is how you find the one way that will. 💕⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #infertility #fertility #ttc #tryingtoconceive #ttccommunity #ttctribe #infertilityawareness #infertilitywarrior #endo #endowarrior #strongwomen #yougotthis #positivevibes #infertilitysucks #blog #blogger #lifestyleblogger #infertilityblogger #quote #quoteoftheday #qotd #words #dailywisdom #dailymotivation Hey you 👋⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ YES, YOU!⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ you got this!
