Bad Anesthesia

Really upsetting news. IVF #2 failed and it wasn’t because of the protocol or negligence of the doctor. Everything went smooth, follicles were growing… Numbers were good. In my personal opinion, I blame 100% on the anesthesia. That very morning, I was feeling awesome and energetic (BP was perfect), was even skipping around cuz i…

#2 Trigger Completed

Took my post trigger bloodwork at 8.35am and did #2 Lupron trigger at 9.30am (#1 Lupron Trigger was at 9.30pm last night, exactly 12 hours apart). Retrieval will be tomorrow morning at 8.30am. Let’s hope it will work out this time with a different protocol and trigger. Protocol Day 1 to 10: BCP Day 11…

IVF #2 – Baseline

Set to go. No cysts/fibroids. Right ovary AFC is 10. The nurse couldn’t read the left but says the ovary is definitely there. She didnt want to push too hard and hurt me. Better AFC than the previous which was 6/6. Pray we get some euploid embryos out of this so that the doctor can…

About Me

I hear the refrain of my own tagline resonating in my own heart . . . “one woman’s journey through the deluge of infertility” . . . and know that there are not enough words to capture the emotions of my own soul, emotions that many of you are also familiar with – pain, disappointment, emptiness, anger, waning hope and dwindling peace. However, I desire to share my story – the raw truth of a woman’s fight with infertility.

You are not alone. You were never alone.

For close to 3 years, I yearned for a baby, dreamed of being a big sister to my child, thought about names and how my baby’s nursery and future would look like. I obsessed, longed for answers, screamed at injustice, and tried remedy after remedy to help me concieve naturally. In late 2018, I decided to seek medical intervention.

The journey is documented here. Stay strong ladies.
