Hey guys,

I forgot how much I truly enjoyed writing. I am little behind on the updates so just bear with me. It has been a whirlwind of emotions the past few days. If you haven’t read my first TTC post, make sure you check it out for some background information. I wanted to give updates on our TTC journey and it seems like writing and TikTok (you can watch all my videos here ) is going to be the best way to do it. I am a little unsure of how to share this on Instagram but at some point I will. I waited till the 12 month mark to start sharing because thats how long it could take until it becomes a “fertility issue”. I’m still trying to figure out how much im going to share because it’s still the internet and people are mean and ugly, let’s be honest.

I had my first appointment on 1/12 which I had to wait 3 months to go to because there were no appointments available till then ( so for anyone looking into making a fertility appt, I recommend calling and seeing how long appt wait times are). It was our first fertility appointment. I was feeling all sorts of things that day. I went in and they did all the basics and asked a bunch of questions. I got blood drawn twice, once when I got there and another right before I left so that they could get my glucose levels (I drank that sugary drink). I also got an ultrasound done by the doctor. During my ultrasound, the doctor did find some abnormalities. She showed me my uterus, ovaries, and all the fun stuff. She mentioned my ovaries didn’t match my Age which completely just set the mood for the whole appointment. My mind couldn’t stop thinking about the amount of follicles I had. I pretty much cried on the table while she had the ultrasound thing still in me ha.

I tried to take mental notes everything she was saying but honestly it was just so much. It can be so overwhelming especially that I couldn’t go with my significant other. It would have been better if I had him there to comfort me and also be able to take in some of that information. My next appointment will be on 1/20 and it is going to be a quick procedure. It’s called an SHG and its pretty much where they insert saline into my uterus. They are checking for any polyps or anything abnormal. Ill also be having a biopsy done as well I believe which should be fun.

I went into the appointment with some hope and left with even more mixed emotions. I’m happy that we are one step closer in finding out why we can’t conceive but I’m also sad that things are complicated. I have hope that 2022 will be our year and if not, I am trusting God’s timing. I would love to hear your thoughts for anyone who has gotten those procedures before! Thanks for reading friends!
