Please sign this White House Petition to mandate paid maternity leave. The deadline is tomorrow. I’d write all sorts of reasons why this is important, but the above graphic says it better than I could.

Overdue IVF and life update!
An update in no particular order…
I am a proud momma to the most beautiful little girl (biased, maybe)
She will be 17 weeks this Saturday! 17 weeks!
I really never knew how fast could fly, slow down.
I am a working mom. 5:00 can’t ever get here fast enough.
My weimaraner is still my first baby!
I exclusively pumped for 3 months.
She is our IVF miracle - I ended up with OHSS and only transferred 1 embryo.
My numbers NEVER doubled and at one point a nurse told me more than likely it would not be a viable pregnancy - my strong little peanut proved her wrong and stayed with me 40 weeks 4 days! ( That nurse was f’n awful, everyone else at my clinic was ALWAYS supportive and amazing! )
I am struggling with postpartum anxiety and damn it sucks.
I have frozen embroyos and I think about them often… weird I know.
I love being a mom and I love seeing my husband being a dad.
Besides the anxiety life is pretty damn good!

should have know better
As with everything infertility things don’t go as planned. My estrogen levels wouldn’t drop after a cyst aspiration and then 2 shots of ganirelix. Saturday when I got the call the injections didn’t work, they told me that we would try 1 more time - this time with Letrozole. Monday I got the call that finally they dropped and I got the go ahead to start stims that night. So a little over a week behind schedule but at least we are moving forward!

baseline ultrasound = cyst
baseline blood work = estrogen is high
me = annoyed
Well …. I’m not starting injections as planned this weekend.
