So much has happened!
I cant believe I actually did this, but I started a fundraising campaign for RESOLVE. For those of you who dont know, RESOLVE is the National Infertility Association. With the campaign they have you do some type of challenge for yourself. Like, youll walk a mile for the next 8 days for the 1 in 8 couples with infertility. Well, I chose my challenge to post a live video on facebook that talks about DH and my struggle with infertility and I shared my blog info on my fundraising page. My original goal was $500 and I am up to $1500!!!! I have had a number of people message me about their personal struggles and people who dont even know me donated! I really couldnt believe it. The head of fundraising for RESOLVE AND the CEO reached out to me via email to thank me for my efforts and tell me how brave I am!! They even featured my mom and I on their mothers day support for those with infertility page! Check it out: http://www.resolve.org/support/for-family--friends/support-during-mother-s-day.html This is also the link to my fundraising page: www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/becky-fuhry/challenge-yourself It has been quite an amazing few weeks. Also, I have officially started my FET cycle! I was debating on whether to start it right now because Im recovering from a sinus infection. I got all anxious thinking about the fact that its starting and that I dont feel ready. My nurse said it wouldnt affect my chances and ya know what, is another month of healthy eating and no alcohol/caffeine really going to affect my chances?! I dont know, maybe. Iconstantly kick myself for not cutting these things out sooner and eating better sooner.Honestly, I just want to do it and move on with my fucking life. Dont get me wrong, I really really really want this to work. I am in a better place mentally than I was 6 months ago for sure. I just dont know that another month of prepping myself will help. Im just gonna go for it. My first appointment is 5/15 with a potential transfer around 5/25ish. I am putting ALL of my trust in GOD. Hes the only one at this point that I think can make this happen for us.
