You know how much I love denim. This pair of jeans has been in heavy rotation over the last few months. I made sure to size up a size since doing all the IVF treatment so luckily these jeans are still fitting me as of now. Some days I do…

    MarcellaD - These Jeans are adorable! Just Want to just say it’s very disheartening to see you attack women on IG who simply want to reach out to give their advice, I only hope your negative response to women helping you passes. Praying for you to be positive. hugs MarcellaReplyCancel

      eat.sleep.wear. - Marcella,

      Appreciate you taking the time to leave me a note but I find it pretty passive aggressive. I think it’s very out of touch to say I attacked woman on IG. If you read everything I had to say on the matter, you would have read that I know that all the advice comes from a place of wanting to be kind and help. I took the opportunity to share that I make all the decisions for my body, and for my baby based on research and talking to my doctor. I would NEVER do anything to harm my baby, or harm myself. I think that a lot of judgement occurs during pregnancy and motherhood and it was a great opportunity to share that we all need to spend less time thinking about others food choices and more time lifting people up. My thoughts had a positive message attached to it. Everyone has their own way of living and it’s my right to share my thoughts and opinions in response to the messages that I receive. And on that note, I don’t need your prayers to be positive. I am already there. I will pray for you to have some more understanding. xo, KimReplyCancel

    Sharon - I love this simple and classic look! You always make the simple pieces look amazing and stylish and I love how that bag is such an everyday bag. I hope you had a great weekend… we still have snow on the ground here in Philly!

I love mixing sporting and feminine pieces together. I always love to have a little bit of edge to my outfits and I love dresses and sneakers together. These sneakers are a brand new updated version of my old IRO sneakers that I still wear…

I have dreamt of this day for so long and at some points, thought it would never come. I still have to pinch myself a few times a day just thinking about it. I have been holding in the biggest secret of my life and it’s with a full heart…

She now has three beautiful boys from IVF but she always spotted throughout her entire pregnancy. She said it was awful because she had the same nerves, but I just wanted to pass that on!ReplyCancel

    N.S - I am in a similar situation. We are dealing with male infertility. We have done multiple IUIs, 1 egg retrieval=13 eggs removed, 8 fertilized through ICSI, only two embryos. Those 2 were both failed transfers. I guess I wanted to know what type of infertility you guys have to see if we have hope for another round. Felt so defeated. We are taking a year off before trying again.ReplyCancel

    • February 27, 2018 - 3:42 pm

      eat.sleep.wear. - I am sorry to hear about your struggles. We suffered from unexplained infertility which, after doing my egg retrievals, we found that the main problem was my egg quality having genetic issues. I think we all have our different challenges in the process and really, it’s a very expensive science experiment to see what combo of meds is going to help you get the best possible results for your own body. It’s so hard going through it all only to fail, but please don’t give up! Take the time off to reset your body and mind so you can come back fresh. I NEVER in 1 million years expected to do 3 rounds of egg retrievals, but if i hadn’t I would not be here today. We tried different meds and combos each time and the last time was my most successful with 3 healthy genetic embryos. This number was huge for me because I only got 1 embryo from ivf 1 and ivf 2. Sending you so much strength to get you through your next round. I have been there, and while it seems dark now, I know there is lightness at the end of this. xoxo KimReplyCancel

    We are sooo incredibly happy for you.
    It has been very hard not to be able to offer our embraces, hugs and comfort in person to you guys, when times were very difficult for you both, because of being in different parts of the country. East Coast versus West Coast.
    Thankful for technology, we have been able to communicate via face time, texting, whatsapp etc…
    The sad times are over.
    Now we can’t wait to welcome our precious Grandchild into the world, we share in your joy.
    We are so proud of you to have endured what you had to go through to get to this point, you are and will continue to be an inspiration to your IVF warrior friends.
    Love you Kim and Blake and precious BabyReplyCancel

    I don’t have children and I haven’t tried, nor do I have experience or knowledge about IVF and infertility issues. But your story captured me because it felt so real and I really felt for you and Blake.

It has been extremely educational to myself and I have also been incredibly inspired by yours and Blake’s spirits throughout the process. I can’t wait to hear more about the pregnancy on Insta and could not be more happy for you, Blake, and the pets 🙂 I’m curious to know if you’ll find out the sex of the little one or keep it a surprise. Either way I’m sure you’ll have fun shopping and decorating in preparation for the big day!

While I didn’t go through IVF, I completely understand how you felt when you saw other people getting pregnant all around you. Now I am 16 weeks (right ahead of you) and feeling great. My symptoms have been almost exactly the same as yours minus the spotting and I can say I’m feeling more like myself every day. Anyway, just wanted to say congrats and thanks for sharing!ReplyCancel

    Sophie - Once again, congratulations!!! As told over on DM, I’ve been checking every now and then since your embryo transfer, even more than before. I have some kind of a sixth sense (I was following up a colleague at work as the isn’t very fertile and had to take hormones. I knew she’d be pregnant right away and she was!), so kinda was very positive for you and thought this time would be a success.
    I’m personally not having this struggle yet…we’ve been trying 8 months (which is said to be normal) but I might have some thyroid issues (going to get test done tomorrow) so let’s hope for the best though!

    Joanna - So pleased for you! It’s so refreshing to hear of people’s ivf journeys. I’m on my third IVF cycle, both one and two failed unfortunately- but I won’t loose hope. Could I ask what you did to prep you for FET? I have been reading up on what could increase the endometrial lining etc but a lot of info is for egg stimulating and increasing chances of more egg retrieval. We have two waiting for us in the freezer and want to do everything possible to make sure they want to stick after transfer. Enjoy your new little one ❤️ReplyCancel
