Tamale Meal Ideas

Need some ideas on how to prep your tamales or meal ideas for the whole family. We have just the post for you.

Just so everyone knows the Tamales are already fully cooked and frozen right after they cool to keep their freshness. We usually will take one dozen out of the freezer and it will stay good in the fridge for at least a week. But if yours is still frozen when you get home you can put them straight in the freezer and then take out what you need to make your meal.

Heating them up-- you can do it multiple ways
  1. Simply place how many tamales you want into a sandwich bag with the husks on and heat in the microwave for 1-2 mins or until heated all the way through. Then remove from husk and serve
  2. You can also place them in the oven until desired temperature 
  3. You can fry them in a frying pan to desired heat (remove husk before heating)
Meal Ideas
Breakfast

  1. Simply heat them up, remove husk smother with Enchilada sauce (you can get this at any store down the Hispanic food aisle or you can make your own), Top with cheese.Then serve with fired eggs and enjoy
Lunch/Dinner
  1. Heat up, Remove husk, smother with Enchilada sauce or Chili Verde top with cheese and any other toppings you might desire. examples- onions, jalapenos, sour cream, gacamole or salsa. Serve with Rice and beans
Other
  1. We also just like to heat them up, take the husk off and just eat them just like that
Please if you have any ideas on how you like to eat and serve them up feel free to share in the comments to help others try something new.

Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to read our blog. I'm Shalamar I'm 29 and my husband Jeremy is 36 and we have been married for six years as of this past February. This blog is about our journey to becoming parents, we started trying for our baby shortly before we were married in 2010. We have gone through years of fertility treatments as you will read in the below posts and we are hoping to start our IVF journey this year. I'll be using this blog to update and educate our families and friends on this new adventure. As well as to help raise awareness about Infertility & PCOS. Please if you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments or you can email me at ivfbabygraham@gmail.com.


What having a child means to us

We will finally get to hold our prayers in our arms, like we prayed about everyday for years. We'll hear our child's cry and melt away. All of our hopes and dreams will have came true and all of our future dreams will have meaning. I will finally be a MOMMY, and Jeremy will finally get to be a Father. We will finally get that feeling all you parents say you feel. The love at first sight, unconditional love, and the feeling of being that little blessings everything. Our parents will finally get to be grandparents and spoil the heck out of their grandchild. My brother will finally get to experience being an uncle and he'll be one amazing uncle.

Holidays will be blessed with the laughter and love of  children. We'll be able to attend birthday parties and family functions without the fear of breaking down. We will be able to go shopping and instead of dreaming about when we could use that for our child we could actually buy it and use it.

Instead of fertility doctor appointments, numerous blood draws and fertility drugs oral or injections
We will have well-child visits with sticker and suckers.

There will be no more
  • patiently waiting for our life to start
  • crying over failed cycle after cycle
  • fear or never having children
  • dreams that wont ever come true 
The possibilities are endless to what a child will bring to our family. We live life to the fullest already but to share that with our child/children will be a blessing. To have our child carry on the memory of the life we gave them and to have their own children to bless us with grandchildren one day. This is what having a child means to us. LIFE the ability to do what God put us on earth to do. 

As for now we will keep fighting, and keep pushing through this journey. We will embrace everything we have had to go through to get where we are today because we know all the waiting, tears, fears, and the pain of treatments will have been worth it.





Fundraising Information

We have come to our final option in having our miracle baby. This treatment is very extensive and aggressive and very expensive. It's called IVF w/ICSI in-vitro fertilization with - Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection. We have tried everything possible and have had all sorts of tests ran in order to try conceiving. It’s just simply impossible for us to conceive on our own without medical and science's help because of our medical issues. 

We have given up so much to try and make this possible for our family. We have savings and medical insurance but we don't have nearly that much in savings and our medical insurance doesn't cover anything for IVF treatments. We have moved back to my parents’ house and we're putting every dollar we make into our baby fund. But even doing all this it would take us years to save and we're so ready become parents. 

We'd really like to try this treatment, with it we would have a 65% chance of becoming pregnant and if it works we could become parents as soon as next year. For me becoming a mother for the first time will be the biggest blessing in my life and as a couple a completely life changing experience that we are waiting patiently for.

Please help us in making our dreams of becoming parents a reality.

The money we raise will solely be going towards our Medication and IVF treatment. Our treatment cost  is a little more than $13,000.00 this includes everything in the below image. -minus the embryo biopsy and storage and doesn't include if we have to a frozen embryo transfer instead of fresh embryo transfer.




We have a few ways for those of you who would like to help with funding.
  • Go Fund Me www.gofundme.com/ivfgraham
  • We will be doing a couple fundraisers periodically such as making and selling Homemade Tamales for a minimum of $12.00 a dozen

If you can't donate we completely understand and your love, support and prayers will continue to keep us going and is one of the most priceless gifts you can give us.

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts...
We are eternally grateful for all the love and support we continue to get from our families and friends and can’t wait to share our little miracle with every one of you one day soon. 




 



God Bless 

Love- The Graham Family

Get to know Jeremy

Jeremy is an only child, he was born to Susan Holland on August 5, 1979 here in Salt Lake City, Utah. He grew up in a small naborhood in Magna where he lived all through school with his Grandma Lola & Grandpa Max Sayer and his mom. He has many childhood friendships that have extended over the years. He Graduated from Cyprus High School 1997. He is a hardworking, goofy, loving, kind, and selfless person. He always treats others equally and always see's the good in everything and everyone.

Jer became a father to his beautiful daughter Nevaeh on February 5, 2005 and then to his handsome son Taytem on April 19, 2006. It was unconditional love from the first time he laid eyes on them. Jeremy is an amazing father, he loves and supported his kids from the day they were born. Unfortunately he hasn't seen or spoken to them in years due to a messy divorce and the other parent.
He misses them dearly every single day and there isn't a day that passes that they're not on his mind. He knows they wont be little forever and one day he will have the opportunity to be in their lives again.



In February 2009 Jeremy met Shalamar...






Get to know Shalamar

I'm Shalamar I'm the oldest of two, I was born to Delilah Delgado and George Benitez on July 30, 1986 in Salt lake City, Utah. I grew up mainly in West Jordan with my mom and my little brother Tyson. We moved a few time around the valley I attended multiple schools where I met and made a lot of different friends some of who I'm still in contact with today. I graduated from the old Valley High School in Sandy off of State in 2004. My husband describes me as a strong, loving, creative, bighearted person who would do anything, any time for anyone whether they be family, friends, or strangers.

I am the oldest grandchild out of all my cousins and recently became the last to have children for as long as I can remember I've always only ever wanted to be a wife and mother. In school when they would ask what do you want to be when you grow up I was like a MOM. I've always been told "Shalamar your going to be an amazing mom" or "your so great with kids your kids are going to be so lucky to have you as a mom". I don't have any children yet, I've never been pregnant. When I was 16 I was diagnosed with PCOS Polycystic ovary syndrome this has caused me difficulty in conceiving a child of my own. I became a step-parent February 19, 2010 to two wonderful kids (3&4 at the time). Who I cared for and loved like my own for which I've been incredibly thankful for. I've also had the opportunity to be apart of some of my amazing cousins kids lives since they were babies. I love all these children with my whole heart and I would give anything for anyone of them.  But they all have their own mommy's and daddy's and I'm am so envious of their parents cause they get to have these loves all to themselves. I hope that one day all the love I have for them I can share with my own child. 






History of treatment plans 2009-2011

Jeremy and I met on February 19, 2009 we knew from the start that we wanted to be together and start a family of our own. So in October of 09' we started trying, we were so excited that we told our families that we were planning to expand our family and to plan for a baby within the near future.
We married February 19, 2010 it was one of the best days in our lives. We were still very optimistic that a baby would come soon.

Little did we know it wasn't going to be that easy. After trying for 7 months in May 2010 I  knew something wasn't working right, because I was having unbearably pain around my left ovary. So we went to our primary care provider to find out what the problem was and get help TTC (trying to conceive). At that time she ran the basic hormone tests on both of us and ordered a ultrasound to see where the pain was coming from. The test came back that my PCOS was incredibly out of control and my hormone levels were all over place. The ultrasound showed a small cyst on he left ovary which was causing the pain. Since we were TTC our Dr. referred us to and OBGYN who handled TTC couples and who could help get my hormones under control.

May/June 2010 we met with the OB, he put me on Metformin to start controlling the Pcos and I started a prenatal vitamin. He also sent Jeremy for his first semen analysis (SA) at the U of U the results were normal so around the end of June he started me on Clomid (is a non-steroidal ovulatory stimulant used to treat ovulatory dysfunction and polycystic ovary syndrome in women) with timed intercourse and ovulation predictor kits (Opk's). We did this treatment for 6 months none of which resulted in a pregnancy. December 2010 we had a follow up with our OB we discussed our options and we decided it was time to see a Reproductive Endocrinologist (fertility doctor).

January 2011 we had our consult with a Reproductive Endo. Doctor at The Reproductive Care Center in Sandy, Utah. At the consult we discussed the next step in treatment which was to start a low dose of a new fertility drug "Femara", timed intercourse with opk monitoring and he ordered tons of blood work for both of us. In February I did a HSG test (hysterosalpingogram) which came back normal and Jeremy was given a SA w/Kruger we were told that the count was great but the morphology (the amount of sperm that are of normal size & shape of the sperm) was 6% and that 5% or less in morphology that we would need to do IVF

So we did two rounds of the Femara treatment plan and in April he did another SA w/kruger that came back with a 5% morphology our doctor at that time changed the treatment plan.
Femara with timed Intrauterine insemination (IUI). This plan consisted of taking Femara on cycle days 3-7 along with Metformin taking a OPK test to see what the most fertile days would be when we got a positive surge on the opk call the doctor office to schedule the IUI which was scheduled 24-48 hours after the surge. At that time our insurance wasn't going to cover any of the cost so we needed to save the money up for our first ever IUI it ended up costing around $1,000.00 (included IUI and sperm prep not including blood work and ultrasounds that was sent out to insurance). Once we got my body working like it was suppose to we did our first IUI on Jeremy's birthday August 5, 2011 two days later the doctors office called to inform us that they did a SA and that this IUI wouldn't take because the morphology was at a 2% and that we would not be able to concieve on our own without In Vitro Fertilization with Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection  (IVF w/ICSI).

It was a hit or miss with us when Jer was working I wasn't then when they finally got my body on track his didn't want to anymore. As you could imagine we were heart broken we barley saved enough money for one IUI let alone IVF. So at that time we decided we needed a break to collect our feelings and see what other options we could do before going down that road.

Our break 2012-2014

During our break we did plenty of research, we learned so much about Infertility male and female factors, PCOS, IUI's, IVF, and different clinics throughout Utah.

Infertility is a disease, and if you have been diagnosed, you are not alone. According to The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 in 8 couples of childbearing age have difficulty conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to term.

Infertility can affect anyone, any age, gender, race ect... If you have a child or children and find it difficult to conceive or carry its called secondary infertility. 

We learned that infertility affects not only the couple trying but their families moms, dads, siblings and so on.

We learned that this journey was going to be long and it would test our marriage, our faith, and our ability to believe in ourselves. It has made us feel every emotion a person can feel happy, sad, angry, helpless, hopeful, hopeless, grief, jealousy, envy, heartache, joy, excitement, depression and the list goes on and on... 

We have missed out on a lot of family functions because being the only couple there without kids became unbearable. We have cried in the most silly of places example: walking by the baby aisle in a store or watching tv.  We've learned to be strong when falling apart was easier. We learned to lean on each other rather than push each other away. 

We learned to accept infertility and its challenges. Its just that a challenge and we plan on succeeding in this rocky road of a challenge. We have grown so much over the last few years and even though we have been pushed to the brink of giving up we haven't and we don't plan on giving up either. We were given this journey for a reason and we can only pray and hope that we will achieve our goal in becoming parents.



Starting Again at Utah Fertility Center

Late in the year of 2014 we decided that we wanted to start looking into all of our options. So we started looking into different clinics all over Utah. We wanted the best and someone who would listen to us, someone who was compassionate and someone who take our treatment seriously.

My cousin reached out to me and told me about her doctor and the clinic she works at. We were hesitant because our last experience wasn't a good one. But my cousin reassured us that this doctor was different. So we set up a consult at the clinic.

Jan 24, 2015 we met with Dr. Conway at Utah Fertility Center, we talked about our past treatments and diagnoses and she went over how she wanted to move forward with a new treatment plan. That day she ran blood work on both of us to check hormone levels and other stuff. I also had a ultrasound to check for cysts on my ovaries and the measurement of the uterus. (ultrasound results looked good) and Jeremy also had to go for another semen analysis. "Reminder that his last SA back in 2011 came back with a 2% morphology" so four years later the new SA came back that everything was normal EVERYTHING so the thing we had to work on was getting my body to ovulate. My blood work came back that my prolactin hormone was off the charts.
https://www.asrm.org/FACTSHEET_Hyperprolactinemia_Prolactin_Excess/
This chart shows what the normal levels of prolactin should be. Mine was 68, so our doctor wanted me to go for a MRI to check for a tumor on the pituitary gland in the brain before beginning any treatment. So I went for the MRI the test results came back normal no tumor. So the doctor ended up putting me on the medication bromocriptine to control my prolactin levels as well as a thyroid medication (synthroid) my thyroid levels are normal but for fertility they wanted it a little lower.

A month or so after starting those meds we retook the blood test to see if the hormone levels were back to normal they were so we were able to start our new treatment plan...

Cycle's # 1-2-3 at UFC

Treatment plan: IUI w/2.5mg femera and trigger Feb 18, 2015 cycle #1
along with the bromocriptine and synthroid
I started Provera a female hormone it has several uses but for me it was used to restore my normal period since my body sometimes skips which I took for daily for 10 days and after that I would start 3-7 days.
as well as a prenatal multivitamin with DHA, 1000 mg fish oil omega 3
Jeremy was just put on tons of vitamins to support his health and sperm quality. Men's multivitamin, 2000 mg fish oil, 800 I.U. vitamin E, 1000 mg vitamin C, and 600 mg CoQ10 for sperm quality

on Cycle day one I contacted  UFC they scheduled a 3 day baseline ultrasound to check the lining of the uterus and if there was any cyst. On the same day I received a prescription for .25mg of Femera and would receive a call from Freedom Fertility Pharmacy with a perception for the HCG trigger shot. I'd start taking the Femera on cycle days 3-7 one pill a day once a day. On cycle day 13 I would go back for another ultrasound to check for any mature follicles on the ovaries (good follicles range 17-20 mm) mine was a little small but would grow more in just a day or so to be mature. On cycle day 14 I did the HCG tigger shot (which is just a hormone that your body makes on its own to start ovulation which my body doesn't produce enough of) http://www.drugs.com/hcg.html
24-48 hours after the shot we went in for our first IUI through UFC in Pleasant Grove, Utah
 http://americanpregnancy.org/infertility/intrauterine-insemination/
 the link above explains the procedure

after the procedure you go about your regular activities the night after the IUI I started progesterone inserts (progesterone's role is thickening the lining of the uterus so it can prepare to receive and nourish a fertilized egg). I continued that until further notice from my doctor. Two weeks after IUI I went in for a blood pregnancy test. It came back negative then I was instructed to stop the progesterone.

Even though the first IUI didn't work we kept up hope and try'd again the next cycle. 3/4/15

March 27, 2015 cycle # 2
On the second round of IUI everything was the same as the first baseline CD 3, femera CD's 5-9 but when I went in for my CD 12 ultrasound my body wasn't responding to the .25 mg of femera there was no follicles. so she upped the dosage during the same cycle for a couple more days CD's 13-17 to .75mg I responded I had one follicle during that ultrasound so we proceed with the trigger shot and then the IUI. Same routine 2 weeks later test came back Negative 4/10/15

Cycle #3 April 2015
The cycle started normal baseline CD 3, Start femera .75mg CD's 3-7, had the follicle ultrasound CD 12 no follicles again not responding to meds started .75mg femera and now a steriod called dexamethasone to help stimulate the ovaries took that on CD's 12-16 then a follicle ultrasound on CD 17 still didn't respond to any medication. Our hearts were broken we thought that it was over and we were so scared to hear what or if there was a next step. We had a follow up with the doctor the same day.



Cycle # 4 and why cycle # 5 was put on hold

In our follow up meeting we discussed how I stopped responding to the oral medication and talked about moving into a little more of an aggressive approach in treatment which included using injections and a low dose of dexamethasone  (steroid) on top of the oral fertility medication and all the other medications still. (bromocrptine, synthroid, and all vitamins).

this picture was taken in September but is exactly what we did in June as well


 May 26, 2015 Cycle # 4
So in May we started a new journey on Cycle day 3 we had a baseline ultrasound and received my prescription for the .75 MG of femera and dexamethasone 2mg started taking them CD's 3-7 then stopped the femera and continued the dex until CD 12 where I had a follicle ultrasound to determine if I needed the injections sure enough no follicles they gave me one shot of Bravelle (FSH injection) and they rushed a perscription to Freedom Fertility Pharmancy and my Gonal-F (FSH injection my insurance wouldn't cover Bravelle) was shipped over night I started injections on CD 13 at 11:00am and continued them until CD 15 had another ultrasound at the Pleasant Grove office that day to check for follicles had a couple almost mature ones so the next day on CD 16 I gave myself one last shot of the Gonal-F early in the morning and then did the trigger shot (HCG to trigger ovulation) at 2:30pm. 24 hours later on CD 17 we had our first IUI after injections. Day on after IUI I started the progesterone two weeks later took the pregnancy test it was Negative. 6/6/2015

June 2015
We had a little follow up with our doctor once more to touch base she informed us that the sperm count of the last IUI was really low and that was the reason why it most likey didn't take with the low numbers we barley had a 5% chance. That was heartbreaking because like I said before when my body starts working Jeremy's stops. Its super frustrating. We knew we had to keep trying no matter how heartbroken we were no matter how much we wanted to give up. Its so hard to keep going, to keep hope when every month we try and try and nothing. But we didn't stop, we didn't give up instead our doctor ordered another semen anaysis the number came back really low again so we had to hold off on treatment for four to six weeks then we would do another SA.

All of June and half of July we just waited Jeremy watched what he ate, watched was he did like no hot tubs, hot baths ect... No Alcohol. He did all this already but we made sure there was no reason why his next SA would come back bad.

We took a small vacation the last week or July and begining of August. When we got home the next week Jeremy went in for his SA. The results came back normal we were good to start cycle # 5

September 20, 2015 Cycle # 5 
On this cycle we started with a baseline ultrasound on CD 3, femera .75mg and the 2mg of Dex CD's 3-5 then on CD 8 I started .75 IU of Gonal-F did the injections CD 8-9 along with the Dex. Had the follicle ultrasound on CD 12 had two 14mm & 17mm did the HCG trigger shot CD13 and the IUI CD14 followed by the progestrone on CD 15 two week wait and that was it test was Negative. 10/6/15

During the baseline ultrasound with my doctor we talked about how if this cycle didn't work we would need to start talking about the next option which is IVF = In Vitro Fertilization. Since it didn't work we took the rest of the year off to get through the holidays.

Big Change! IVF 2016

In January 2016, we already knew what our next step was for treatment and it was a big one. One that we would have to work really hard for and that would bring so many life changes into our life. I called UFC to set up our IVF consult with Dr. Conway, it was scheduled for March 23, 2016.
Around the same time we scheduled our appointment we made a big decision to move out of our place, put our house hunting on hold again and move back home to my parents house to start saving some money for our treatment.

We spent the rest of January packing and into February we got super busy with both of us working full time and the businesses we worked for were moving into their busy season's so we were hardly ever home. We moved out the last weekend of February and got settled in back at my parents house.

On March 23, 2016 we met with Dr. Conway we discussed taking the next step into IVF. How it worked, what our chance's were, cost, and medications. She talked about how we would do the tradional IVF In-Viro Fertiliztion treatment along with ICSI Intracyoplasmic Sperm Injection.

The link above is about IVF
The link below is about ICSI
https://www.utahfertility.com/2014/03/06/intracytoplasmic-sperm-injection/

We were told that when we decided on when we wanted to start treatment it would take about six weeks in all. We already got our blood drawn the next step is to see the IVF coordinator to get the calendar with all of our appointments, medications, and the full plan. Next I will do a water ultrasound called hysterosonogram http://www.ivf1.com/sonohysterogram/ to check the uterus. following that I'd start birth control pills to regulate my hormones before starting the IVF cycle its like getting all the eggs to line up and grow at the same pace. After that they will start the stimulation of the ovaries with injections over a time frame of 10-12 days with constant doctor visits to moniter my health and the growth of the follicles/eggs. They want to produce a lot of eggs with my age and my egg reserve from my pcos she is hopeing for 15 to 20 eggs once they get to the right size we will do a trigger shot to start ovulation. about 36-37 hours after the trigger we will go in for the egg retrieval where they will give me anesthesia and go in and retrieve the eggs. That same day Jeremy will give his sample for the ICSI after were done about hour I will go home and rest that same day they will insert the sperm into the eggs and let them grow and watch them over the next five days. On day five they will be at the embyro stage and they will transfer 1-2 back into my uterus like an IUI and I'll take two days to rest they call them Princess Days where you do absolutely nothing but rest. Then the two week wait begins on the last day of the two weeks they will give me a blood pregnancy test and we will see if the embryos stuck. If I become pregnant our doctor will watch me until my 9th week of pregnancy and then we will be off to an OBGYN.

Our clinic has a really good success rate about 65% chance of it taking. Our doctor is very optimistic that we will have success and we are very confident that we are in good hands we are at one of the best clinics in Utah and have seen with our own eyes their success.
