Charming

Last Thursday was a big day - trial transfer (ouch!!) & injections course.

In honor of really starting to get excited I wondered over to a little gift shop in town that I know sells a lot of little silver charms to see if they had anything that could maybe represent this current IVF cycle.

First, I just took a general look around - found hearts & butterflies. Both would be lovely sentiments, but I'm just not much of a hearts of butterfly jewelry kind of girl. So I turned to the motherhood section, but the bottle, the onesie and the mother and child all seemed too obvious. I mean, what if we land on the wrong side of the stats (again) - what would I ever do with it.

And then I saw it. The perfect charm to signify this cycle:

Could it be any more perfect? Too peas in a pod - because that's the goal here! Not twins necessarily (but I'm prepared for that), but we will *hopefully* transfer 2 embies.

  2. LOVE that charm! So perf.

    And btw, I had the same feelings about acupuncture. I stuck with it a lot longer b/c I had such severe lining issues. but ultimately decided my "relaxation" fund was much better spent on something that actually relaxes me: a massage!!!

    I am so excited for your IVF cycle, Alison!! xo
