Me

This journey begins with a lot of excitement and fears, which was the reason for this blog when I started it in 2010. It was meant to be an outlet for me, but after only two posts, I quickly realized I was a far more private person than I thought. Three years later, we are still on this journey and a lot has changed. I've come to realize that sharing this very personal journey may not only help me, but may help another woman going through the same thing.

A little about me. I've endured a lot of heart-break growing up. Through heart-aches I've gained strength, courage, faith, and the ability to laugh. I truly believe with God, loving friends and laughter, any soul can heal. I'm a strong and positive person, but I can feel this journey is testing the very person that I am. I'm grateful to have awesome women in my life walking with me. I'm also blessed with an amazing husband. I've had to be strong a lot in my life, but he has taken that burden from me, and I just couldn't be more grateful to have him as my husband.

I had another ultrasound this morning. My follicles have grown, but they are not ready just yet. Everything looks great though. I have 3 follicles that are close together. The nurse said with the follicles this close together, there is a chance for 3!! Yes, triplets. My response was, I am just fine with that!! She then proceeded to tell me that I would be considered a high risk for triplets and that it would not only put the other 2 at risk, but could also put my life at risk. :/ The chances are still slim, so we will cross that bridge if it happens. I do hope it's not a bridge I have to cross.

Today my follicles were at 15, 16 and 18 (if I'm remembering correctly). I go back in for another ultrasound on Thursday morning and if they are at 20, I will get a pop shot and IUI will happen on Friday! A pop shot triggers (pops) the eggs and pushes them to ovulation. I initially was going to possibly have to give myself the pop shot. I didn't even really flinch at the idea. I've grown in so many areas during this process. A year ago if you had told me I would have to give myself a shot, I might of fainted. ;)

I'm happy. I'm hopeful. I'm excited to finally be at this part of the process.
