IVF the semi comical process of becoming pregnant

In-Vitro Fertilization is a very strange process.  Sometimes I wonder how we even made past a couple of things or as I call them speed bumps along the way.  At 36 I walked into the fertility clinic full of hope of maybe I really do have to relax and it'll happen. I laugh at that now but hey people always say that or when I say where going through IVF and they say no no just um.... try this ect.  Its ok really Im good with telling you I dont ovulate and its probably been a very long time since I have but mix that with a monthly cycle its like a cruel JOKE. This past year and some change while getting ready for the big frozen embryo transfer has kept me on my toes as well ( however its been close to 5 full years of TRYING THINGS ).  I feel like theres always something lurking and ready to attack at an given time, the wrench in my plans at this point Im so used too.  Shit, somedays going through the process I would just ride the roller coaster and say WEEEE and try not to give a dam

This Led Us to Our Invitro- Fertilization and Frozen Embryo Transfer

So it has taken my husband and I 5 years to get to this point in our fertility journey.  During these last 5 years Ive been told that Im Bi Polar ( nah i just have resting bitch face and have no time for bullshit sorry that imnot overly smiley it doesnt mean anything ), Im Depressed ( nope just sarcastic by nature ), Im Anxious ( i really am anxious though ) and multiple other things from Doctors in the area and they even tried to give me all the PILLS in the WORLD.  As we all may or may not know my husband loves to research things!  So the first thing to research was the GOITER in my neck basically my thyroid blew up and the reason it blew up was because to be honest I wasn’t taking care of myself I was at the gym every morning at 5 am I worked out for 2 hours.  Though I know how to eat ( im a nutrionist ) I was told crazy things by PERSONAL TRAINERS  ( they don’t have degrees y’all ) stop eating carbs ect.  However I never stopped eating the things I wanted, but all that working out

Inspired by My epic day yesterday!

I haven't written in a VERY long time, been having way too much fun doing me things.  In the past months Ive really figured out who I am.  Id like to make this post inspiring to all ages of life.   Over the past 4 or 5 years Ive changed drastically as a person.  I had no idea who I really was in 2013, I was going through a divorce, I was forced to stand on my own and I was forced to figure out who I was and what I wanted out of life.  In 2013 I started this journey when I started to date my now husband.  I needed to loose some weight but I also wanted to be confident in myself.  Walking into the gym I always wanted to be with someone leading the way, when my husband wouldn't ever work out with me it instantly became clear this wasn't about him this was about me!  I had a personal trainer for about a year and in that year though I learned how to lift I never saw gains until I worked out FOR MYSELF BY MYSELF. To this day though I like helping people work out, thats my alone

Never Stop Dating Your Spouse

After much debating in my own head space I finally decided that Id write about this topic, not because Im an expert in relationships but because I find it important. Jonathan and I got married October 9th 2015 in Pennsylvania, the weeks before our wedding we had a date night planned once a week which gave me horrible anxiety about what we would be going to do or if he'd like doing it with me and vice versa.  So when I talked to him about this it ended up in an argument, saying things like you don't want to try new things ect ect.  Its not that, Im a rather simple person basically FEED ME and LOVE ME FOR ME. So we scratched date night planning and planning one all together turning it into just spending time together.  We go grab dinner or hang out at home, he helps me around the house when I clean which generally ends up in some silly comments or he'll text me when Im at the farm riding silly stuff or our new thing is texting GIFS.  My point here is no matter what you'

Bye Bye Scooby Doo!

 I haven't written in awhile not because I haven't wanted too or I had no good ideas I just simply haven't allowed myself the time.  It hasn't been a huge priority for me lately. Back in late March we found out that our dog Scooby was suffering from Spinal Ataxia.  Spinal ataxia is when the spinal cord is compressed and the message from the brain cannot get to the hind end of the dog in most cases, so he had the drunk wobbles as I called them.  That day we had done a ton of X-rays and so fourth at the vets office so we decided to give the medications a try.  With out the medications he could barely walk without falling all the time, so we tried the medications.  One med was for the actual compression of the spinal cord a pain blocker and the other was for pain management.  We tried these medications for a month to see how we felt about them, and they didn't help as much as we thought they would and the pain management medication he just threw up every time.

The Art Of Customer Service

Recently ( like as in today ) I visited the establishment Americas Best.  My Dr closed his private practice and moved there.  So I arrive 20  minutes early to fill out the paperwork, while I was filling out the paperwork the front desk staff seemed to be malfunctioning ( only proper word for it ).  The lady on the phone was rolling her eyes and asking me questions at the same time.  ( um i can't make this up )  Then I get shuttled back for my glaucoma test lovely I hate that test, but to make matters worse the technician was EATING during my exam which is disgusting while trying to administer my test of which you touch my eyes!  GROSS!!!!!   While I waited for an hour an 15 minutes for my exam the rolling eye girl was going on and on and on about some patient, if I can hear you I bet we all can, complaints and all.  I finally get seen tell the DR what all happened he apologized and said he would address it.  Cool no problem.  UNTIL I sat down to check out of my appointment, rollin

Keeping it CLASSY THINK BEFORE POSTING

I recently watched a video online about relationships and it got me thinking about respect within the relationship.  The number one killer the video stated as an issue within relationships was FACEBOOK and or INSTAGRAM.  The video also stated that it was mainly men who like over sexualized photos of other women than their significant other, but women do it too.  I have a huge crush on Matthew McConaughy like HUGE,  I tell my husband all the time.  But what Im talking about is very different from a crush.   Im talking about liking others photos that are too overly sexual to be on FB or Instagram.  I really start to wonder if anyone cares about their own self respect?  I see more and more women wearing the shortest shorts ever to show off their bum or the tightest shirts to show off their chest.  Men aren't any better theyre willing to almost bear it all for their views, just holding a towel over their privates.  I don't even want to talk about the impression that it makes on y
