✨exciting news✨

Letrozole cycle April 2024 is happening!

I have so much hope for this cycle, everything feels like it’s lining up perfectly and I cannot wait to share every detail of what’s to come ���

We’re following a really strict diet/exercise/supplement regime this time around and I’ve been carefully reviewing all of my products for hormone imbalancing chemicals and replacing things as needed. I plan on doing a total detox before we start progesterone.

Good vibes, I feel it!

Well I guess waiting did the trick 💕 we had another cycle of letrozol 7.5 mg and my scann showed a 11 mm and a 17 mm follicle in my left ovary! So trigger will be 4-19-24 and we will find out if we are pregnant around may 3rd 💕 fingers crossed for our January baby

I keep skimming so many articles on different topics about PCOS. What this person has tried and that person tried. Articles on green tea and raspberry tea.

I don’t want to have to do alllllll those vitamins again.

So today I decided, that maybe I should drink at least a whole 17-18 fl oz glass of green tea (no sugar) a day at least. Or sip on the tea through the day.

Well Tumblr. It’s been a hot minute.

The last time I used Tumblr, I was an angsty, angry teenager. I didn’t know who I was, or how life would turn out for me. I was selfish, and scared, and alone. I was struggling in school. I was struggling with my sexuality. I was struggling with my weight. I wish 17 year old me could see me now. I wish she could see all we’ve accomplished, and all we’ve lost along the way.

But anyway…

Hello! I’m A, and I’m 26. I’m married. I’m orphaned. I have PCOS. And I’m trying to concieve my first child. If your reading this, I can only assume you and I share some kind of background, something that made the algorithm think you’d enjoy my content. And for that, I’m sorry.

I’m sorry you’re struggling with something right now. But perhaps together, we can lighten the load.

Thank you for coming along for the ride.

I’ll talk to you soon!

I just wanted to add - at my age (which I’m not saying) your kids are supposed to be in high school or college.

No one tells you the difficulty of getting pregnant or the medication that you take for IVF or to help with conception.

No one tells you the heartbreak that you go through every single day, or when your period shows up and you just feel so broken.

I’ve miscarried when I was younger and I honestly thought when I was slightly older it would be easier to fall pregnant. Little did I know how wrong I would be.

Also, no one tells you about the pain you’ll experience when other people announce their pregnancy. You are just meant to smile and say congratulations.

The whole thing about you not being able to fall pregnant is total BS and it’s total BS that people ask you when you are going to start having kids.

Anyone else who’s TTC - did maca root help? I’ve been seeing it on my TikTok and wondered if it was legit or not.

I do have PCOS so not sure if it’s suitable. Just looking for other peoples experiences with it! 🥰

Trying to get pregnant right before my husband’s deployment is a bad idea, right?

Throughout my infertility journey, I’ve often felt like there was a “lesson” I was meant to be learning. I hated it, it made me angry, but the thought was always there.

I had a realization today that I think I was meant to heal, from many things, but specifically learning communication skills and developing my own sense of self importance that depends solely on me and what I have achieved.

The universe knows how special motherhood will be to me, how important it is to me. I don’t think it was open to letting me begin that chapter until I was ready, because it knew that I would be so disappointed if I had any regrets from my own immature, unhealed actions relating to my journey of motherhood.

I’ve worked hard to heal. Even when it doesn’t feel like it. I know that I’m ready, and maybe the universe does too… either way, I think I’m okay with waiting my turn for now.

Well today we had our scan, and had to cancel our cycle this month. I didn’t respond well to the medicine this time. I’m not going to lie today was ROUGH. I been dealing with infertility struggles for 10 years this year. This brings up a lot of ptsd and emotional mental issues. I cried,screamed, and cussed at life today for being so unfair.

We are not giving up though, after talking since we already purchased the trigger shot we will try one more cycle, if this one does not work then we will regroup with my specialist and go from there. I do not want my daughter to be my only earth side child. I want to give the loml another child. I want this to work so cheers for hopefully next month in which if successful would be a late July to august baby!

So my insulin levels have gone down from 51 to 16. 🤷🏻‍♀️ dr just called and said that was a big leap and that hopefully my body will be normal again (having periods) in the next 3 months or so as I continue to take my medication.

I’m surprised that it went down that much.

Here’s to hoping I get normal cycles again. 👏🏻

Honestly I think that’s the hardest thing about infertility. We’re always told as teenagers how easy it is to “end up” pregnant, but no one talks about how difficult it is. And when months turn into years, and no one knows what to say to you anymore, and no one has any advice or help to offer, it’s so difficult to not give up hope.

Haven't had the spoons to get into it. Had a breakdown, had my 3rd round of iop. Things are still real touch and go. Infertility is really draining my will to live. I'm changing jobs again. I think about dying most days. I don't think I'll kill myself but right now I don't feel like I have much to live for. I haven't felt interest in things or more than fleeting joy in months. Fertility treatment is on hold indefinitely which also makes me want to die. Um. Yeah I feel like a big sack of failure who has had to put most of their dreams into the dumpster and say goodbye to them and... like everything I want is just well and truly out of reach. I don't know how to begin to feel better. I did iop and some days I feel a little better, but then on days like today I feel as bad as I did going into grippy socks.
