31 days

I created a calendar to countdown the the days until I find out if I'm pregnant. It might change depending on how my medication is going  and if the schedule goes as planned. It feels weird to know the day when I find out if I'm pregnant but super excited to know. 

Today is #31 in the calendar!!!

I created the design in my Cameo Silhouette if you would like a pdf let me know.

T.O.M. (time of the month) is here.

Not feeling well today. 

I have a headache, feeling dizzy and I have the worst cramps ever.So I decided to blog and read What to expect when you're expecting. I was worried I wasn't going to get my period before my next appointment but I was wrong. The nurse told me that I would and when I did I would have to change the dosage from 20 to 10. 

Home remedies:

Heated blanket

Tea 

Update: I have three days left on Lupron and have our appointment on Thursday! 

1st Shot of Lupron

Just did my first Lupron shot! It hurt so bad that I cried. I don't understand why it hurt, some ladies that I talk to say it didn't or it just itched. It hurt for about 4 minutes and then it started to itch. My husband thought I was kidding at first because I love shots but it was so painful. It was not the shot that hurt but the medication going inside that was hurting. It has to be refrigerated so maybe its because its cold and that's what I felt but I don't know the real reason but I have 10 more days to go. 

Wish me luck!!! I want this so bad so I will take any pain to have a baby. 

                                                                                                                                                       

I got some excited news today after she explained the schedule to us. If everything goes well and on schedule we will know if we are pregnant by MAY 21! 

We can't wait!!!

                                                                                                                                                           

Side Effects- 

• Headache, mood changes, mild depression, or unusual tiredness
• Hot flashes or sweating
• Pain, itching, burning, rash, or swelling where the shot was given
• Trouble sleeping
• And More

Mexico Trip

Today my friend and I took a day trip to Mexico to get the last medication that I needed. 

Then I had an appointment at 3:15 with my doctor and I had to take all the medication to get the instructions to get started on the process.  

We stop by to get some goodies before leaving!

Waiting...

April 13th can't come soon enough. 

I want things to start moving along.  
It just feels like a waiting game.

I know that I need to be patience. 

Inspiration

On our way...

Getting started with the process. 

I started birth control on 3.24.15.

 I am only taking it for three weeks and only the active pills.

I have a doctor's appointment on April 13th.
That same day I'm taking a morning trip to Mexico before my appointment to get the last medication that I need: the Menpour vials (its less expensive in Mexico).
That completes all the medication I will need.  

Feelings- Super excited and a bit scared. 

D.I.Y Calendar

This is our money calendar.

 I wanted a visual tracker to help us visualize our goal.  

But I didn't want any kind of calendar so I made it myself. 

Let me explain it.  

The quote that I used was- "It's going to be hard but hard is not impossible." 

1 & 2- is how I separate our paychecks. My husband and I get paid every two weeks so 1 is the first paycheck of the month and the 2 is the second paycheck of the month. 

The months helps me track how much we saved on each check and for the month. 

Baby H Flag- is a bookmark from each paycheck  I write on one side how much I saved for that check and then once that month passes I put the total below. (The H is just our future baby name.)

If you want a printable copy let me know and I will post it.
