Our 1stUltrasound
This IVF journey has been stressful, anxiety filled and overwhelming, to say the least.
Everyday is a battle of not knowing. Even when you know, the what-ifs come at you full force.
First trimester is already tough but double it with daily injections and constant medications.
We are on injections and meds until 12 weeks. Taking the constant meds is probably the hardest part. Beyond tired and my body is constantly in pain but it’s worth it for our miracle baby.
At 5 weeks, I had to go to the ER for intense cramping and abdominal pain. I was told that it was just stress and implantation. Taking it one day at a time and praying this isn’t another loss.
If you’re experiencing infertility or on this journey, you are not alone! It feels extremely lonely and sometimes it can be isolating. We are warriors and we will continue to fight.
