Ouch!!

I started stims last night and the FolliStim pen is a piece of cake (its even less painful than the Lupron) – but the Menopur is a different story! I have to do it intramuscular in my butt muscle and it HURTS!!! Of course we had a repeat of the “Ok, I’m ready…NOooooo!” fiasco last [...]

Thanks Guys

Thank you, everyone, for all of the sweet comments and the concern. My great grandmother is still with us at the moment, but they are expecting her to pass away within the next week or two at the most – they are just making her comfortable. She is in a coma-like state where she is [...]

Saying Goodbye

When I got home from work (just now) I found out that my great grandmother (who has been on hospice for awhile now) appears to have had a stroke and is not expected to live more than another few days – at most. Apparently she is unconscious and they say she could go at any [...]

No more BCP!!!

I FINALLY finished those stupid birth control pills last night (I had to switch from taking them in the morning to taking them at night because they were giving me headaches). Yuck! I hope that’s the last of those!!

First Lupron Injection – done.

That was much more of an ordeal than I thought it would be. I was expecting to be able to give it to myself, no problems. Yeah well…I totally freaked when it came right down to it. I kept giving it to Hubby and telling him to do it, and then yelling “Nooooo, don’t do [...]

In Theory

Hubby and I have been talking a lot lately about the “what ifs”. What to do if we end up with more frozen embryos than we plan on using, what about selective reduction, etc.
It all started when the RE told us that we could transfer up to 3 embryos, depending on how aggressive we wanted [...]

The Meltdown

My meds came today. And my calender. And my consent forms. Tomorrow morning is our Lupron class/appointment. Is it too late to change my mind? This all just seems like way too much.
