I am going to number my vlogs for IVF #4, so I don’t confuse everyone. I won’t be able to upload while I am in Colorado next month so I thought this would make it easier to follow my IVF #4 journey. In my last video, I was sharing the results of my stereotactic breast biopsy. I catch you up to speed with where I am now, how I feel about my past RE and an unexpected gift that is surely going to give me good luck.
Rocking Some Encouragement for IVF Sisters
It’s no secret that IVF will kick your butt. Doesn’t matter if you find success with your first cycle or you are struggling with your fourth plus cycle. Infertility in general is like riding your bicycle naked on a slippery road in a blizzard (Ahhhh who knows where that came from but I am laughing out loud right now).
I have been collecting names and addresses since December 2014 when I first started my IVF journey. I love cards, getting mail and sending encouragement around the world. This isn’t something new for me, it has always been my thing. I will officially start IVF #4 this week. To honor this cycle I am starting a sign up for my first Fall IVF Card Exchange. There is something very special about getting an encouragement card when you are going through hell. Doesn’t matter if you know the person or not, that’s not the point. The cards are to inspire you, give you strength and to let you know you are not alone.
So here’s how it will work. I know a lot of you girls are not open and out about your struggles with infertility and that’s fine. Its just a card nothing more. There won’t be anything that flashes infertility on the envelope. Your name and address are not going anywhere public only to your new IVF sister so she can send you a special note. This is a way to connect, support, build friendships and show empathy. I know you are dying to sign up and spread the love so LET”S DO IT.
Sign Up Gorgeous!
