The husband and I met with our new reproductive endocrinologist on Monday. After a long discussion with a brief pause in the middle so he could inseminate someone (what an awkward conversation) we came up with a plan. I will be taking prometrium for 12 days. Some time around 5 to 7 days after I […]
So after putting this off for over a year we’ve begun gearing up for trying again. It’s almost like my body has decided it’s time because I got my period for two months in a row the last couple of months. The last two days I’ve had a pre period headache (that I called head […]
November and December were horrible for me for a variety of reasons: 1. For some reason I wrenched my neck mid November during finals. I’m sure it had to do with stress as I tend to hold stress in my shoulders and there is no time to stress like finals. I went to the chiropractor […]
