Unsure, Uninspired, Unmotivated

April 6, 2020 · In: Lifestyle

I can’t believe it has been over a week since posting a blog post! I was super occupied last week on Instagram hosting the #RockYourLilly challenge – which was a huge success. I was so happy to see over 500 posts for the week! So thank you so much if you participated and supported me through that.

But I’m not gonna lie, I am feeling super unsure, uninspired, and unmotivated – like most of us are. Last week the challenge distracted me, but this week I need to face the music.

I wish I could go on with life and be content as normal, but I can’t. Now more than ever it’s difficult to get inspired and find things to write and post about. On the personal side of things, each day seems to bring a new battle and some days are better than others. Some days I am highly motivated – I do my workout, eat, clean, get dressed, and get stuff done. Other days I eat 20 Oreos and cry because I want this all to be over.

It’s interesting to think about considering my life isn’t all that different during all of this. Grant has worked from home for years, and I’ve been doing school online for years. It’s crazy how big of a difference going out and about in the evenings can make to your mental health.

Why am I writing this? To let you know you’re not alone! And even when someone’s life looks amazing online – it may not be. I’m really hoping to get back into the swing of things blog-wise over the next week. Even if I just write one blog post a week, it’s better than none.

Every day I pray for the healing of our country. I pray to God that someday soon things can be as normal as possible. If there is one thing this situation has done for me, it has made me appreciate the little things. I hope you’re all doing well and staying healthy and sane.

Thanks for reading,

xoxo
Jayme

Spent the last week soaking up some amazing sunshi Spent the last week soaking up some amazing sunshine weather on HHI - surrounded by family & friends🌊🤍 It was a great way to get some major R&R after these past months of treatment. 

We’re spending this week at our happy place - Disney - to close the chapter out on the summer before we head into fall🍂
The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍 The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍

No, I’m not pregnant. Yet🤞🏼
I’m finally ready to share what my world and entailed the past year or so. 

We got married in 2021 and like many couples decided to wait a few years before trying to have a baby. 2 years passed and we decided we were ready. Little did we know that would start a journey filled with heartbreak and frustration. 

A year came and went - no positive tests. So the obsession started; tracking ovulation, supplements, bloodwork. You name it - I’ve probably tried it! I went to my gynecologist and got put on a dreaded waiting list for an HSG. 5 months later no call back. So I decided to call a fertility clinic in January 2025, they saw me two days later. 

With a fabulous team of doctors, NPs, PAs, and nurses I got to where I am now. I have no diagnosis, and neither does my husband - bloodwork good, egg quality amazing, no cysts, fallopian tubes functioning, etc. On paper I’m good and still a mystery!

We opted for 3 rounds of IUI’s, all unsuccessful and traumatizing. So onto IVF. 

I’ve spent my last few weeks getting injection after injection, so much bloodwork, so many ultrasounds. And today we went do Maryland for an egg retrieval. 

This was not the summer I was imagining, but I’m so beyond thankful I was able to have this journey (and also get most of it paid by insurance😉). So now we wait on our 17 mature eggs🙏🏼 

I will likely keep my embryo transfer journey private until I have a confirmed pregnancy. But getting all of this off my chest I feel comfortable to post and share again🫶🏼

If you are going through an infertility journey - whether it’s been short or long. I pray for you. I grieve for you. I am you! My heart breaks for you.

Unhelpful and hurtful comments will be deleted. 🚫“just relax!” “get drunk” “it’ll happen when you least expect it!”🚫 

A special thank you to my handful of friends who have been my angels on earth this year. You know who you are✨
