Yesterday was 14dpiui and I started spotting towards the end of the day. It was hardly anything. And so I had hopes that maybe it was just spotting. This morning, I woke up early with high hopes and walked into the bathroom with a pregnancy test as I would have officially [...]

CD12: HCG shot

I did it. I gave myself a shot. I just squeeeeeezed the muffin top and stuck the needle in and pushed. It wasn’t as bad as I’d thought it would be. I’d  spent the hour or two before getting all nervous and freaked out about it. But when it was all over and done, it [...]
