✨If I wasn’t a nurse….✨
💉Mixing this medication would have been more confusing at orientation.
💉I wouldn’t know what it means to “look for air bubbles.”
💉I would know to have a “drop” at the top of the needle.
💉I wouldn’t know you should never shake a med vial.
💉I wouldn’t know why you should wait 5 seconds before pulling the needle out.
💉I would think it’s crazy to push “air” into a vial.
God knew I was meant to be a nurse.❤️🩺👩🏽⚕️

This week I have been pretty thankful for my love with fitness because its been a rough week with IVF/infertility. My image, as is anyones, for starting a family is a straight line, but for God it’s not and never is and never will be. He is throwing in some curves and roundabouts now, but we are taking it head on. One day… one day I will have the title of ✨Mom✨… But for now, I will keep staying healthy, focusing on me, and taking any and all frusteration out in lifting weights. To my infertility ladies, trust in God. Trust his plan more than yours. Keep praying. WE GOT THIS! #ivf #infertility #infertilitysucks #Godsplan #trusttheprocess

·2-5If you know you know. 💉 Even my nurse on egg retrieval day said, “IVF is like a full time job.” There were days I wished I was off for multiple days in a row to primarily focus on what needed to be done and it isn’t over yet. Before starting medications and even during medications is a lot of work. Its exhausting. But, so far it has been worth it and I believe it will continue to be worth it. #ivf #invitrofertilization #ivfawareness #fulltimejob #worthit #stayingpositive

·1-23WE DID IT! Trigger injection DONE! <<SWIPE to see more🥰>> This man deserves SO MUCH credit. Before starting this journey I was VERY worried he wouldn’t be able to stab me with a needle 💉 but he did it….many times and many more to come! I cannot wait to see this man become a dad.❤️

·1-23✨Day 12 of Stims✨ 1/10/25 👉🏻 1/22/25 Blood 🩸 work and ultrasound completed this morning. ••Progesterone was 1.5 and Monday it was 1. ••Estradiol was 4369 and Monday was 2126! Tonights plan….TRIGGER! Lets fricken GOOOOOO! Trigger will be at 9pm tonight! I will have labs tomorrow 12 hours after injection, so 9am. FRIDAY check in at 8:15am and get ready to have some eggs 🥚retrieved. The nerves have settled in. Im excited, nervous, scared, but continuing to stay positive and hopeful through these next few days. Praying for many eggs to be retrieved but making them to be mature and healthy! Praying for God to keep me safe during surgery and to continue laying out a good path for Josh and I. Through all this Josh has been AMAZING. Such a wonderful support system. Being there when I need and want him to. It’s not at all what we expected to start our family, but together we are stronger and become stronger. I will never forget asking Josh couple hours after getting engaged, “How soon after we are married can we start trying for kids.” His response to me was, “Right away I suppose.”…Not knowing this was gonna be our path. #ivf #invitrofertilization #ivfjourney #ivfstory #ivfcommunity #ivfgotthis #ivfawareness #ttc #ttcjourney #ttccommunity #infertility #stims #trigger #hope #faith #together #womensupportingwomen #pray

·1-22✨Day 11 of Stims✨ To be honest, I wish I got to trigger last night, but slow and steady wins the race and we want as many follicles as possible to be where they need to be. Swollen, puffy, bloated or as my husband says “lumpier” is how I am feeling these last couple days. Tomorrow, Wednesday, we go for blood work again and another ultrasound. Praying we are where they want and we can avoid another trip to Edina for more meds. ❓What’s a trigger shot❓ ••A trigger shot is given 36 hours before retrieval. The time they say to give is the time it needs to be given. Not an hour early or late. ••A trigger shot is a horman injection that contains hCG and LH. ••A trigger shot tells my ovaries to release the mature evgs to be collected. We continue to pray and ask God to continue prepping my body for egg retrieval and ask him to let tomorrow be the big and happy day to trigger but if it isn’t we trust God’s plan and continue to follow him as he guides us. ❤️🙏🏻 #ivf #invitrofertilization #ivfjourney #ivfstory #ivfcommunity #ivfgotthis #ivfawareness #ttc #ttcjourney #ttccommunity #infertility #stims #hope #faith #support #womensupportingwomen #pray #teamwork #together #trigger

·1-21✨ Day 10 of Stims✨ Today…today I didn’t want to share this. Today I wanted to hide. I feel larger than normal. I decided to share anyways to show it is OKAY. It is and will be all WORTH it. As females we are SO HARD on ourselves and we forget what are bodies are capable of doing. So I share this today to let all women know who are struggling with body image due to infertility or body image in general, it is OKAY. You are beautiful no matter what. Your body is doing so much. Your body has done so much. And your body will continue to do so much. #ivf #invitrofertilization #ivfjourney #ivfstory #ivfcommunity #ivfgotthis #ivfawareness #ttc #ttcjourney #ttccommunity #infertility #stims #hope #faith #faith #support #womensupportingwomen

·1-20✨ DAY 8 into Stims✨ Another day of not much change from day before. I definitely feel its holding in my lower tummy. I get crampy in the lower abdomen so doesn’t surprise me. I think Josh says it perfectly last night (last part of vid). 👫🏽“Teamwork makes the dream work.” 👫🏽 That is EXACTLY what this journey to a family is. We are doing this as a TEAM, not just me. Infertility should not have the alone feeling and if you are feeling alone, you aren’t. There is a community of so many struggling and so many here to support. #ivf #invitrofertilization #ivfjourney #ivfcommunity #ivfstory #ivfgotthis #ivfawareness #ttc #ttcjourney #ttccommunity #infertility #stims #hope #faith #pray #teamwork #together #husband #wife #futureparents
