Imagine spending your one precious life on this planet leaving nasty comments to strangers. (Also, I did try to prioritize starting a family in my 20s… 7 years of secondary infertility later, I’m at the end of my IVF journey and days away from transferring my one & only healthy embryo. So either wish me well or keep scrolling.)
I’m so lucky to have this crew and these friendships. And I’m so grateful our daughters know that femininity or fun doesn’t undermine credibility or professionalism. 🫶💖
Time for my annual check-in with my younger self 🥹💖 The vision I had for my 20s never came true… it turns out it was all meant for my late 30s instead. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for my 40s.
Modern science 🤝 modern motherhood. From IVF to the stars, I’m living out the wildest dreams of ancestors who survived so I could live to see the future. And I intend to make the most of it. 🤍✨
I’ll get a call in a few hours with the initial results, but even if the hcg concentration is over 50 (which would be GREAT news!!) I would not be in the clear. The most important test would still be to come — I’d need to be back in 48 hours Monday to test again and confirm that number doubled. If it did not double or it’s less than the baseline, I would likely be looking at a chemical pregnancy, which is a cruel & unique kind of devastation. Because of those stakes / sensitivity / uncertainty, I hope you can understand that I have to wait until after Monday night to share the definitive update on my bloodwork. I need the next 48 hours of private time to either grieve or process or confirm or celebrate and to communicate with my family. Regardless of the outcome, I’ll share the specifics Tuesday and remain so grateful to know that there are so many kind people who will be there to either share in my joy or to lift me up in my sorrow. It means the world. ❤️ #ivf
This is a brilliant gift and a digital love letter and I’m sobbing — and the card said “I’ve always known you were the most amazing woman so glad the world is catching up” 😭❤️
