15 things you can do in light of yesterday

Yesterday was hard and days will continue to be hard. Here are a mix of self-care and action suggestions.

  1. Know your limits with media. It is okay to turn off the news and/or hop off social media
  2. Find ways to relax today (e.g. meditate, nap, take a bath, take action)
  3. Do things that make you feel safe (e.g. reach out to loved ones)
  4. Donate to organizations that mean something to you
  5. Donate to the two new Georgia senators: Warnock and Ossoff
  6. Donate to Resistbot which helps people easily contact their reps about important issues
  7. Contact your reps about impeachment. You can find contact information here. 
  8. Text IMPEACH to 50409 to reach your reps about impeaching Trump (this also signs their petition for you)
  9. Text 25TH to 50409 to reach your reps about encouraging enacting the 25th amendment (this also signs their petition for you)
  10. Text SEDITION to 50409 to reach your reps about removing seditious politicians (this also signs their petition for you)
  11. Look at all of Resistbot's petitions and consider signing
  12. Remember that an effective way to reach your reps can also be fax. You can fax your senators for free online here, your reps for free online here, and your governor for free online here
  13. If you have it or find it, provide information related to violent activity at the U.S Capitol Building to the FBI
  14. Sign the NAACP impeachment petition
  15. Spread the word about these and any other action items

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

Now, that may sound like I'm bailing out of my fertility journey, but it's actually the opposite. In order to get everything ready for the egg retrieval, I need to hop on birth control for a little bit and then hop off. It feels a bit odd to be taking oral birth control, have a birth control arm implant, and be getting ready for an egg retrieval--but that's how it goes (for me at least--getting to keep the arm implant is rare or so I'm told). People have asked me how I'm feeling about this round of egg retrieval and honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
