Man oh man, do I need a drink. The ups and downs of the IVF have been… how do I say this nicely… a fucking nightmare. Ha! I’m currently living in limbo between egg retrieval and my several-months-delayed implantation, and while I can feel my hormones starting to slowly level out things aren’t totally back to normal. The whole process has left me in a bit of a funk—some days blogging feels trivial, getting dolled up seems annoying, and none of my favorite foods taste that great. And then some days everything seems normal, sans a little leftover swelling and a box of fun IVF accessories. Fertility treatment isn’t for the weak of spirit.
On a happy note, I’m at least allowed to have alcohol while we wait for the next step. Here’s what I’m drinking.
