Hit me with your best shot

you guys are so incredible. I started writing these kind of just as therapy for myself but wow your feedback is amazing.


This post is going to be all about my experience with the trigger shot process

A little science first there are many different types of trigger shots the one I did was called Ovidrel. It's basically a HCG injection. HCG is used to cause ovulation and helps support the development of an egg in your ovary. It then makes the egg release so you ca make a baby.

My experience:

First off Jay had to do the injection because y'all know I'm terrified of any needle besides a tattoo one haha.  He did a great job, I joke with him and say he enjoyed it a little to much hahaha. Pain wise it wasn't to bad, the medication itself burned a little going in. I thought the shot part was going to be the worse but little did I know the worse was to come

I usually research the hell out of any medication I'm taking but for some reason I forgot to with the trigger shot.
I woke up the next day and I felt pregnant. I was dizzy, nauseous, and tired. I obviously knew I wouldn't be pregnant that quickly haha so I wondered what was up. That's when I found out the trigger shot because it's HCG basically makes your body feel like it's pregnant.

So here I am today a few days later sick as a dog 🐶 but hey at least I know now it's not the flu but the trigger shot. They say it goes away in a few days unless you really are pregnant so I'm hoping it doesn't go away!! As sick as that sounds Hahahah

So ladies if you ever have to have a trigger shot the shot part isn't bad at all!

consuming me

Yay I finally have a computer back to write these blogs on!! This week is so special because its National Infertility Awareness week, so I prayed about what to write on this special week. Sure enough like always God answered. I had a friend reach out to me because her and her husband are going through almost the exact same thing as Jay and I. We talked for about and hour but one of the things she said stuck with me the most. She said they often have trouble turning it "off" because it consumes them. This statement was huge and in that moment I realized oh my what a great way to explain it. You see we try to stay busy filling our lives with all these activities and things just to get our minds off of everything going on, yet somehow its still all we think about. I could be smack dab in the middle of Disney World, see a cute baby and automatically start thinking about our infertility. If your going through miscarriage, Infertility, or infant loss it consumes your entir

As if infertility wasn't bad enough

So this is absolutely insane to me and I'm sure a lot of you are unaware because we had no clue. Infertility treatments of any kind are usually not covered at all by insurance companies. Its considered elective, but remember I did not ELECT to not be able to have a baby. Again like in a previous post were not wanting sympathy or anything but I just want to share how insane this truly is. Jay and I are just doing what they consider the basic infertility treatments. We are not doing IVF or IUI which are more commonly known about. We are doing medications to help produce a healthier egg.  Because of this medication We have to have an ultrasound almost every week. If I get pregnant we have them until I am 10 weeks pregnant. Ready for the kicker, none of them are covered by insurance because they are considered elective. At first Jay and I said okay no problem we make good money we will just set up a payment plan and pay for them that way, well they need the payment day of ultrasound
