TMI... but it's my blog to document...

Side effects so far-
Bloating, headaches, HOT flashes and irritability
Nothing major, nothing I can't deal with.
My ovaries are def swelling up, I feel super tight and swollen.
And tonight, here's the TMI, I had MAJOR cervical mucus, we are talking serious egg white mucus. This is a good sign, it means my follicles are growing and my estrogen is pumping. But man, it was intense.

Dr Update-
Went today for bloodwork, Estradiol level is good. Go back on Wed for ultrasound and more bloodwork.
Meds:
Lupron- 5iui
Menopur- 75iui
Gonal-F- 225 iui


Well. That's it.

Twisted Ovary, yowza!

Twisted Ovary... eeeeeek!

click on the above to learn yet another "concern"
basically once these new meds start, it's time to be as stationary as possible since my ovaries will be the size of basketballs... well... maybe not quite... ;)

Lupron - If I may...

Oh Lupron, thank you for the zits, the exhaustion, the bone aches, the mood swings and just the overall blech feeling I've had lately...

I'm trying to push through it all and I'm also trying to allow myself to rest.

You know me, I don't like to be stationary long. But man, I feel like someone has BEAT me up.

It'll be so worth it, yes, but for now, you'll find me snooooozin...

Daily Shot...

for me...

for me, I can't...
- get too excited or too upset, I must remain neutral
- focus on the $ amount this has cost
- allow myself to get wrapped in the negativity
- spend too long in the baby aisle
- imagine doing this without support
- decide who all should be let in on this journey
- believe some people would shun pregnant friends out of jealousy
- read quite a few blogs because they piss me off
- still believe I am giving myself a shot every single morning
- allow too many days pass without writing
- believe we are really here, really doing this

Cooperating Ovary, we thank you!!!

We went in at 8a this am "ready" for a cyst aspiration, lo and behold, the cyst has vanished on its own and no need! Wahooooo! I have the best RN, even she gave a wahoooo and said I LOVE being able to give good news!

My hubby had positive thinking the entire weekend and it paid off.

Today is definitely a day to be grateful.

Now we will get a new calendar and kick this process back into mode.

Happy.

suppression...

and we have suppression.

and we still have a cyst.

and we will know today about cyst aspiration date.

and I have been reduced to 5 units of Lupron.

and the delay is about 3 wks.

and thats better than never.
