Hey, just wondering how you’re doing. XO
Hey! Thanks for asking! Emotionally, I’m much better. I’ve been working on a post but I got incredibly busy with work and then the last 2 days I got so sick with the flu that I couldn’t even lift my head from the pillow! Today I have to push through being sick to get some health insurance paperwork done or I’ll be uninsured for a month. Ick. It means a lot that you asked. Thanks again.
Cool beans 🙂 Insurance ppw is the pits! Take care sweets & know you’re thought of. XO
Hey there, just found your blog. I am in the same boat as you — surprise fragile x carrier, and starting my first round of IVF. Thanks for sharing….feels less lonely knowing there is someone else out there.
Dear Alicia, best of luck to you in your process! Do as much egg harvesting as you possibly can before the egg quality deteriorates!!!!
