Happy Holidays, lovelies! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I know just how difficult it can be to navigate through the holidays when you're also trying to conceive and wishing for that Christmas miracle. With so many baby announcements this time of the year, seeing new little additions at your family gatherings can be extra triggering. So my wish for you all is to find strength and peace and know that your feelings are valid and they do matter. We are in this together. We rise by lifting others, and we got this! 💪 ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Thank you all for sending me positive vibes and supporting me with your strength and courage through this crazy time. Be kind to one another! Let's look forward to 2023 together :)​​​​​​​​
Cheers! ​​​​​​​​

am officially on vacation mode! Super excited for our upcoming Disney Cruise! I still can’t believe we are going on vacation…because I told myself I wouldn’t go on any vacations until we are completely done with IVF or until after we have our miracle baby. Well, it’s been 9 years of TTC and about 6 years since our last vacation. I think this is one promise that is okay to break because the hubs and I deserve this, don’t you think? It’s about time…

As mentioned in my stories yesterday, I hope that this is just what we need to help us reset and prepare for our FET again in the New Year. 🤍

Maybe I’ll bring you all along through my stories 😜 Eeeek. I’m so excited!

Would it be weird if I, a 39 year old woman line up for princess hour and take photos with all the characters? lol

Happy Monday!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Let’s start off the work week on a good note. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Choose "progress, not perfection" - I have to constantly remind myself this. It's not easy but this mindset encourages us to focus on the smaller achievements instead of the end goal. Let's accept and enjoy the little things in life even if they aren't perfect. As much as I hated this fertility journey, I am grateful for it. I’ve learned a lot about myself and made a lot of little changes in my life these past few years, which has made me a stronger person today. ​​​​​​​​

Friends are the family we choose.​​​​​​​​
And in this IVF community, I've learnt that I could not have survived this journey without having my friends by my side, especially my long-time friend and bestie. Even though she may not have had to experience the same struggles I had with conceiving, she was always there for me when I needed a shoulder to lean on and cry. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Find a friend that will love you even when you don't know how to love yourself and one that will stick by your side even if you make sh*tty decisions.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Happy International Day of Friendship! 💕​​​​​​​​

Continuing from yesterday's post, here's my experience on the EMMA/ALICE test this past Monday.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I said it earlier, and I’ll say it again. It’s hella PAINFUL. It’ll be one of the most uncomfortable procedures you’ll ever do (if you decide to do it). Very much like the ERA (if you’ve had one done). The amount of pain will greatly depend on your pain tolerance. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but this was still very uncomfortable. Thankfully, my nurse advised me to take a Tylenol or Advil 💊 about 45-60 minutes prior to the procedure. I took an EXTRA STRENGTH 500mg Tylenol lol The actual procedure wasn't too painful and took less than 5 minutes! (Tylenol FTW!). Highly recommend taking an extra strength one! HOWEVERRR after the Tylenol wore off, the pain started creeping in and I was cramping so hard. It felt like I had just done an egg retrieval 😣 I expected spotting, but had full bleeding I almost freaked out. Thankfully, the bleeding stopped within the day and by the second day, my cramps were mild. I went for acupuncture and found it helped. On Wednesday, I felt normal and thought I was strong enough to do a kickboxing workout 🥊 Hence the comical image 😜​​​​​​​​
Well, I was wrong. I could practically hear my uterus yelling at me telling me to stop and go sit down. So that’s what I did. A reminder: to be patient with your body. We are resilient and we are strong, yes. And part of that strength is knowing when to rest and not feel guilty about it 💪​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
One final note - a few things to keep in mind if you are booking this test, just like the ERA i) a month (cycle) is required to perform the tests and ii) occasionally another month is needed to verify adequate treatment and iii) then there’s the financial cost ($1100) 💵​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

Further to yesterday's post...​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I recently learned about who, or rather 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 EMMA and ALICE were from my doc (and only 𝔸𝔽𝕋𝔼ℝ hearing some biopsy for chronic endometritis thru a friend). It's an acronym for:​​​​​​​​
EMMA = Endometrial Microbiome Metagenomic Analysis ​​​​​​​​
ALICE = Analysis of Infectious Chronic Endometritis. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
After many years of infertility, I couldn’t believe I had only JUST learned about this test. Albeit, it is still new, still. I needed to know more. Having experienced too many unsuccessful implantations, I had questions. We know I have a low ovarian reserve & now as I’m aging (turning 39 in a month!), the quality of my eggs diminishes as well but what if there’s more to look at? I started googling. In short, this test takes a biopsy of the endometrial tissue and genetically analyzes the healthy (Lactobacillus) and unhealthy (Pathogenic) bacteria present. A healthy uterus doesn’t just require the absence of bad, but also needs the presence of good! According to the makers of this test, , their stats tell us that 20% of female infertility is linked to the endometrium & 30% of infertile women have pathogenic (bad) bacteria in and around their endometrium. Wow! If the microbial health, or flora, of the endometrium, is sub-optimal I may be prescribed antibiotics or a probiotic to clear this before I can do a transfer... So we'll see when I get the results back in a couple of weeks!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We know that the right bacterial balance can help implantation and there have been recent studies that looked into this in more detail so I believe it is worth looking into. Speak to ur doc to see if it’s right for you :)​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
P.S. This was hella painful and I'll talk about my experience in the next post (since IG has a caption limit) ​​​​​​​​

Hi lovelies!​​​​​​​​
It’s been a while. Many of you saw my IG story on Monday that I’m back at the clinic for another round and I wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to everyone who DM’d me wishing us luck & sending so much love for our next round! 🧡​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
A little update - So many decisions had to be made, broken, put on hold, made again…and in the end, we decided to proceed with ANOTHER IVF round. It wasn’t in the original plans and I thought I was done with it all. Just done. I was working towards closing this chapter and starting a new adventure in my life, but when our doc, Dr. Virro announced his retirement last Fall, our case was transferred to the amazing .Meivys.Garcia at our clinic. We had a consultation with her and she presented a new perspective, a new protocol, and there was newfound hope again. So, we are giving this one more shot…no “what if” and no regrets - WE ARE DOING THIS! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Healthy eating, supplements, acupuncture. I’m doing it ALL …again. I will do all that I can to support our IVF as I have always done, but 1 of the biggest changes I’ve noticed this time is the calmness I am finding within myself. A lesson that I am still learning - let things be & not think too far ahead about the outcome. One thing that my new TCM said that has stuck with me is and has shifted my perspective on this journey now is ‘to think of children as an added bonus to this life rather than as a necessity to complete our life. To accept and to be happy with the family that I have now’. With that said, Yes my life is truly full. I have an amazing family - the family that raised me and I grew up with, my current family of two, my bestie family, my IVF family, my IG family - you have all had a huge impact on my life and it is so full of love because of you ♥️♥️♥️​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Want to know what I was at the clinic for the other day? I’ll write about that soon because there is so much I want to share with you all!

A little sarcastic humour for you today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[and yes, I made the hubs take this photo with me. It took about 10 shots to finally get a decent one lol]⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎶Let’s talk about s*x, baby…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(Umm no, not really) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your s*x life is no one's business (unless you want to share and that’s totally fine too) but if someone gives you unsolicited advice and says “just relax, have lots of s*x” well, here's my response ;) lol⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For someone going thru infertility for as long as I have, can probably agree that s*x can be triggering. Sometimes "just having s*x" is not all that it takes. Think about it - at most, we have 12 chances in a year to get pregnant and that is if you ovulate every cycle too (not everyone ovulates every cycle btw!). S*x is supposed to be fun and enjoyable, but when it turns into a “chore”, it becomes triggering and not so enjoyable anymore. Not everyone is lucky enough to conceive naturally AND have a healthy baby either. Sometimes we need a whole lot of science because there are other factors involved that affect fertility like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), other ovarian conditions, endometriosis, structural problems like a blocked tube(s), and/or male factors, just to name a few 😔 So I am truly grateful for the science we have today. Grateful that we even have these options available to us and the means to do them, because I know not everyone has that privilege. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(Even tho in reality, these 'choices' don't feel like choices because they are 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 for us).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let do better and change the conversation. Be kind & compassionate towards the people we care about who are going through infertility trauma and loss. I’m sure they know how to have a baby 🙄 so rather than offering advice, just BE THERE to listen.

So I did a thing…a got a new tattoo! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yup! You may have already seen my stories last week when I was at the tattoo salon, but today let me tell you why I got inked. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Never did I think I’d get a tattoo like this, but it is the best way that I could think of to honour my little angels we lost.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This piece has a total of 6 peach blossoms; 4 smaller ones that honour embaby #1 from IVF2, embaby #2 and #3 from IVF3, and embaby #4 from our last round, IVF #5. Then we have two larger blossoms in the center to honour the two babies who grew, but lost last year in a miscarriage. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We chose peach blossoms as it represents purity and womanhood. It is also a sign of good luck, because well…we really need all the luck we can get to keep going. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I worked with Kelly from Ink & Water and she totally nailed the concept and design with this piece! I knew I wanted a floral piece that symbolizes fertility in some way and this was perfect! It’s got that delicate and feminine feel I envisioned! Thank you again for bringing this piece to life! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, gotta give a special shout out to my Steph from for not only introducing me to Kelly but also for being my cheerleader through it all!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

09/14/2021

Through this experience, I've learned so much about infertiilty and the Infertility is becoming more common and yet it is a conversation that most people don’t know how to have. I am grateful to see the conversation changing more the last few years, but we still need to work on normalizing the conversation around infertility. So today, I'd like to offer my own tips on how to support someone you know who is experiencing infertility or any Assisted Reproductive Treatments (ART) such as IVF or IUI. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Practice being extra mindful when you are around those who are trying to conceive (aka )⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Offer to engage them in an activity that will help distract their minds from everything that is baby related ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3) Rather than offering advice, just offer your attention and give them space to vent and share their feelings ***I cannot tell you how much this one is needed. Most of the time we aren't looking to you for a solution (because we know you can't fix our issues) - we just want to be heard and have our feelings validated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Be gentle with yourself this week (and every week, really). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With it being Friday, I wanted to check in with you all lovelies. This week can be especially difficult for those going thru infertility. It's the first week of September and you don't need a reminder that a) it is September and b) that you do not have a child to take to school for their first day of daycare or JK. Turn off social media and take care of yourself if that means more spa time or Netflix. Know yourself and give yourself everything you need to make it through this time. If you know someone going thru infertility, maybe check in on them at this time :)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Back-to-School week has always been one of the toughest times for me to get thru. Not gonna lie, the days leading up to that big "first day of school" have really affected my mental health and I think I may have had a slight mental breakdown, without realizing it. The hubs thought I was simply having another regular headache or that I was watching too much kdrama, he even thinks I should get checked for sleep apnea! Well, maybe...but I know it's more than that. It's the mental and emotional stress that I've been experiencing anticipating this day that caused those headaches and my little breakdown. So I knew I needed to give my body a break. Glad I did because after resting for the past couple of days, I'm feeling much better and am actually excited to see all my friend's kids in their back-to-school outfits and hearing about their funny stories today. It also inspired me to write this post and remind you to be gentle with yourself during this time! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sending you all good vibes and virtual hugs... to all the parents out there, be gentle with yourself too because I know sending your kids back to school during a pandemic is no easy feat and to all my do something that brings YOU joy this weekend! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

07/27/2021

A day late for this post, but that’s ok! The last couple of months, I went on a major cleaning mode. As I was reorganizing my work space, I found all my petri dishes! I kept every petri dish from each transfer cycle. Anyone else? I stored them in clear sheet protectors along with a print out of our ultrasound, kept it tucked in the drawer for a future scrap booking project for our miracle baby one day. Decided to organize everything a little better so I put everything in a binder, categorized with tabs for medical tests, cycle monitoring charts and instructions, invoices, acupuncture receipts, etc. and I have this little cubby to host all these documents now instead of a cardboard box (See second photo).

Here’s a photo of our petri dish from our most recent transfer that happened in May. I know many of you have been curious about what’s been going on behind the scenes. I loved taking you guys along for the ride last year. Your strength and encouragement kept me going, but I’ll be honest, the process really took a lot out of me this time around so I decided to keep things quiet and just work through it on my own. (I’ll discuss about our protocol details in a later post if anyone’s interested). In the end, we only got 1 embryo so with just 1 embryo, we decided to proceed with a fresh transfer again. Sadly, after the (June 10th), my beta test came back negative 😔 Disappointed to say the least, but a part of me somehow already knew - maybe it’s because I didn’t experience any of the pregnancy symptoms I did last time and was spotting for a whole week.

It took me longer this time to open up and share with you all as I wanted to make sure I was in the right headspace to share. We need to take care of ourselves first before lifting others who are also struggling, right?

Update: for now, the hubs and I have decided we are going to stop and will look forward to the next chapter in this life. We are not sure what’s next for us but we will be happy with our little family of two ❤️

I hope to continue to provide you with encouragement, strength, and inspiration on this platform. I will always continue to advocate for fertility and my 💪

I posted on Stories recently about the little W in our logo and asked what this letter meant to you. There is so much meaning behind this simple letter and so many w-words that this logo carries, but there is one word that has resonated with me recently and that is the word “worthy” or “worthiness”.

wor•thi•ness /ˈwərT͟Hēnəs/ noun
ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇ Qᴜᴀʟɪᴛʏ ᴏꜰ ʙᴇɪɴɢ ɢᴏᴏᴅ ᴇɴᴏᴜɢʜ….

For so long, I’ve tied my worthiness to motherhood. I know I can’t be the only one who feels this way. Growing up, we hear (and are told by our own parents) how important it is to be a mom. It’s almost ingrained in our culture that all women are supposed to have kids and if you don’t, then there’s something wrong with you - like WTH?! 😒

So when I found out about our infertility, I think that impacted my self-esteem greatly and how I saw myself as a woman and my self-worth ~ if I’m unable to bear children then what does that make me? Am I not worthy then? Battling this self-blame and hopelessness with infertility is no easy feat! So hell ya, I AM worthy!

And for anyone else that needs to hear this today…remember, you are not just your womb,
You ARE worth knowing.
You ARE worth loving.
You ARE enough.

So what does this W stand for you?
Let me know in the comments below!

06/22/2021

Did you know that the month of June is Men’s Mental Health Month? I haven’t talked enough about the male side on this platform and they are equally as important. I mean, the s***m is the other half of creating a little human after all.

So with just a week left, let’s give the men in our lives a little extra love this month 🧡

Did you know that for couples struggling with fertility challenges, 1/3 of the time it's the male-factor?

(…1/3 of the time it’s linked to the woman and 1/3 of the cases it's both male and female!)

Honestly, I always thought it was ME. I thought we couldn’t get pregnant because I didn’t have good eggs or I didn’t have a good uterine lining or something (that had to do with me). I thought I was the problem (I still do). But it turns out, we are in the latter group of cases where the issue lies within both the male and female. So we’re both to blame! lol jk. But yup, it’s not just one of us with the problem, but both of us - no blaming game here. We share the same burden, we share the same struggle, and we are in this together.

Yes, infertility has been so hard for me, but I know it has been hard for him too. He is often overlooked, entangled in grief so let’s extend the same kindness and love towards our husbands as they are our rock and support system. This road is hard for all who walk it, whether they speak up or not.

I rarely show a photo of the hubs on here (thats because he hates taking photos), but this is one of my favourite photos of him and it was taken the year before we found out about our infertility. So extra hugs and kisses for this guy, because he deserves it 😜 🧡

Remember this photo?
It was from that dreaded Two Week Wait!(aka or )

𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥’𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕥𝕨𝕠-𝕨𝕖𝕖𝕜 𝕨𝕒𝕚𝕥?
It’s the time it takes an embryo to implant in the uterine wall to start emitting enough of the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) to be detected by a pregnancy test. Whether you tried naturally or through assisted reproductive treatments like IUI or IVF, you lived through that two-week wait...waiting to see two ⏸ or ➕ or a 🙂 on that p*e stick or waiting to go in the clinic for your first beta (pregnancy) test. I would say, this is probably THE toughest time of the whole process. It can be an emotional rollercoaster, especially if you’ve been trying for a while, like we have. Your body may go through some physical signs of pregnancy that can EASILY be confused with the usual PMS symptoms and then of course, the mind goes into the worst scenarios and you can’t stop thinking if it’s because the embryo implanted or if it’s your period coming 😩

So how do I survive this dreaded Two Week Wait?
1️⃣ I’ll schedule a date to see some friends (virtually for now) and talk about anything but baby stuff!
2️⃣ Watch a lot of movies and/or binge a show on Netflix, Disney+, Crave, etc. my favourite show to watch during this time is FRIENDS! But last time, I spent majority of the TWW watching Modern Family! It’s important to watch something funny to make you laugh and keep your heart happy during this time. I strongly believe that your mood can affect the outcome.
3️⃣ Colouring! 🎨I bought one of those adult colouring books to help relieve stress. I personally love to colour, so this works well for me. Or you can choose a good book to read instead!
4️⃣ Cleaning out and organizing my closet! But leave any heavy lifting to the partner!
5️⃣ Learn a new hobby! I recently bought “Elementary Korean” 🇰🇷to learn the language lol We’ll see if I get through this book... My goal is to understand enough Korean that I won’t need subtitles to watch my Kdramas 😅

Do everything you can to distract my mind from falling into that dark hole. You got this!

For anyone who has gone through the what did you do to keep yourself busy?

This is what 38 looks like today.
This is also what infertility looks like.

About 2.5 years ago, (Jan 2019) I shared our fertility struggles publicly for the first time. I wrote a blog post and decided to release it on the world wide web. Other than marrying my hubs, that was probably the best decision I ever made, I didn't expect to receive such amazing responses. I didn't expect anything from my blog posts and my goal was (still is) to acknowledge those who may be struggling just as I was and to remind them that they're not alone and I'm going through this with you too.

Finding this community changed my life. These ladies held me together and have been my own personal life cheerleaders. They gave me advice while encouraging me and listening to me while I vented. These ladies kept me sane throughout this journey and made me feel less alone. This is something I try to pay forward with on this platform. I’m going to geek out a little bit here and say...
You are all so strong and brave.

I don't know what lies ahead for me, for us, but today, I am going to remain in the moment and simply enjoy my birthday today with some good food and Netflix.

Cheers! 🥂
Lisa

It may be the last day of today (or ), but I will continue to help shine light on this community, advocate for those experiencing infertility, spread awareness, and acknowledgement around infertility. I didn’t post at all this week only because I wanted to take a silent pause to listen and learn from others during this time as I’ve shared my journey with you over the years. I have to say it has been incredible to see just how much this conversation has changed already over the last several years! But…you know what? We need to keep moving forward so let’s keep the conversation going! 🧡

I wanted to take this time to also thank you to those who have been closely following this part of our lives and for all of your kind words and support, especially during our last IVF round!

If you don’t struggle with infertility, I hope that this page has opened your eyes to the silent struggles that so many around you may be facing. Infertility affects about couples in Canada! It is much more common than we think. I hope being open about our own experiences will help change the conversation and the current inconsistencies/myths around fertility treatments, women’s health, etc.

If you are struggling with infertility, know that you are not alone and that you do not have to struggle alone (or just with your partner), but that there is a whole community here that will be there for you too! My DMs are always open if you just want to chat or rant on how much

There are so many amazing resources available, but here are a few accounts that I follow that have really helped me through my own journey!
