And it's started...

Back I go to getting IV pain meds to help my lupron migraines. I spoke too soon a few days ago thinking I would be ok for this round of lupron injections. Wrong!!! Got a migraine yesterday that I was Abe to relieve with immitrex but over the night it came back 2-3 times as strong!!!!! 

By the way I officially think that I cannot be held responsible for my words or thoughts today because my current bag is full of benedryl and an anti seizure med and I am starting to feel really loopy!!! Guess this is it for today...room is kind of spinning, or at least I am! 

Wow

I'm getting over this

So I'm kind of over this all today. I feel like this whole IVF process takes a lot bigger toll on my psyche than anything I've done before, not to mention physically. I feel like if I knew it would work  I would be a lot less whiny about it, but I have no idea if my one little embryo will survive the thaw and that's frustrating. On the other hand, I don't know if I can just "give up" on trying to do everything I can to have a baby. Ahh. Ok rant over. I guess I just need to vent every so often. There are very few people in my life who even have a fraction of a clue of what I'm going through right now physically and emotionally but I do appreciate everyone's support. 

Day 6 of lupron injections and had my first migraine. Feeling better after a dose of immitrex. Starting to feel like I'm losing complete control over my emotions. Feeling more weepy and short tempered.  Hot flashes are starting at night and I haven't been sleeping too well. All in all, still doing much better than last cycle. 

We are having a Halloween party tomorrow night, which is going to be super fun! I wish my sister could be here but on the plus side this is something I wouldn't be able to do if I were pregnant now or if I had a 5 month old baby so hey! Party hardy!! 

Sorry!!

Hi! I got yelled at by my sister today for having not posted in a while. I guess I was just enjoying a few weeks of not constantly thinking about IVF and medication schedules and such. I guess I have to do some catch up! Well, I was able to convince the doctor to let me try prepping for a frozen cycle without taking the pill. It's been (so far) the best thing ever. There have been all these days where I have almost gotten a headache but didn't. Last cycle I would have been debilitated from migraines. Also, I've been taking lupron again (and we all know how much I absolutely hated this medication last cycle). Well guess what? So far I'm handling it!!! Let's not get too excited or anything, though...I'm on it until October 30th and in the mean time I will soon start to have to take estrogen pills. 

I can't wait to remember to take a picture of my new progesterone needles to show you all. They are at least 3 times larger than my normal lupron needles. I'm very apprehensive about these injections. First off, I have to take them in the butt. Second, I can't do them myself. ... ... So I will have to somehow teach my husband, who has never injected anything at all before and kinda has no small motor skills, to inject me in the ASS with a 3 inch long Needle!!! Stay tuned, folks...that will be an interesting post!!

In the mean time I have been slowly adjusting to the new school year. We are about 7 weeks in. It's still pretty busy but I feel like this year is just going to be crazy. I have been hanging out with friends in my spare time and just, ya know...making memories!!
