My fertility bracelet

I have this online group of friends that I met years ago…I think I’ve known them all for about 5 years.  Every year we do a Christmas present exchange and this year my secret santa sent me a fertility bracelet (along with other things) that she wore when she was struggling with infertility.  There are two charms on it, one that says hope and the other is a turtle which is the sign for fertility. She wore it to all her doctor’s appointments and since I received it, I’ve been doing the same thing. She now has a beautiful baby girl! 

Today on my way to the RE I looked down at my wrist and it was so comforting to know that I had her support and love, and that I also had this special gift from her.  I can only imagine how special the bracelet became to her and for her to be able to share it with me is so unbelievable, I feel so blessed to have her in my life. 

Today’s appointment went well. I have two follies measuring 20mm and my lining is measuring at a 9.5 which is perfect.  So we’ll continue to monitor me and hope things continue to progress as wonderfully as they have so far. Blood work is due in later today.  The doctor would like for the follies to be about 25mm before I ovulate, but we’ll just have to wait and see what they do.  At this point the doctor is planning on letting me ovulate on my own but they will trigger ovulation if they have to.
