After my IVF failed I was devastated. I was realistic going in but I was not prepared to have ZERO embryos make it. When they told me not ONE survived I was confused and like a typical female cried all day and literally ate my kitchen cabinet! After getting the call, we had to wait a week to sit down face to face with our Doctor to find out what went wrong. I am the most impatient person so as you can imagine this was pure HELL!!! Fast forward to our appointment...we found out the eggs were not strong enough to make it. They put it to me this way- The embryos displayed chromosomal abnormalities (genetic defect) and if it was a normal pregnancy I would’ve miscarried before I even knew I was pregnant. The doctors can change my protocol to help with the quantity of eggs but not quality.
We have decided to give IVF a second try but right now I am giving myself a break. The IVF process is demanding, exhausting, STRESSFUL and expensive! Everyday I live in fear that I will never be in the “mom club” and it SUCKS! I don’t know what it’s going to take to become a mom but I have found ways to deal with the stress and anxiety through working out, eating healthy and focusing on myself. I literally have trained my mind not to overthink everything and be patient and trust the process. BUT OH MY GOSH I am so ready for this nightmare to end.
I am taking a 3 month break to change up my diet, add new supplements to my daily routine and focus on myself and my goal of becoming a mom. A lot of girls who go through this don’t have anyone to turn too so I want to share what diet and exercise routine I follow and what supplements I take to help improve my eggs. Also, I will share a couple of books I have read that really helped me! This isn’t just for girls who are having to make babies outside the bedroom. This can help anyone!! Everything I have done in the past 6 months has helped me become a better person, girlfriend, daughter, sister, aunt, friend and dog mom. I hope to encourage someone to put themselves first and do what is best for them.
I can't wait to share all my secrets on how to live your best life!!!!
