It’s Here

It’s Here

The long anticipated Day 1 of my cycle is here! The advice from a good friend, to stop thinking about it finally worked. But lets pause to say, that as excited as I am about taking the next steps, I could have gone without the cramping. That is something that definitely makes me miss the IUD.

Let me press play with the fact that my head is also spinning after talking to my clinical team at Shady Grove. It all started to sound like a foreign language when they started talking about Day 3, Day 7-12 appointments, HSG, genetic testing, ultrasounds, and bloodwork. So over the next 2 weeks I will spend a lot of time going from appointment to appointment!

How to keep up with it all? I am using my phone calendar and work planner! And because I need all things in one place, I created a Fertility binder (yes organized with dividers, labels, and of course sticky note reminders). This part of the journey is definitely preparing me for motherhood: THE JUGGLING ACT!
