I actually miss giving myself injections

I know that sounds weird, but at least while I was giving myself injections I knew I was well on my way to doing something. For those who have not seen my other post we had to cancel our process and are having to start over in January, my body was not reacting to the meds at all. My nurse felt we would have a better final outcome if we started over then to just up the dose or add a new medicine. It sucks and life sucks right now. I was not suppose to have another period and now I can't do anything until I start again. I have cried so much I think I am out of tears.

I'm sorry you're so sad right now. I know it's no consolation, but January will be here before you know it and you will be sticking yourself with the best of us again!

As weird as it may sound, I totally understand where you are coming from! Sorry to hear you had to cancel your cycle but I wish you lots of luck and baby dust for 2008!!

I am so sorry, but I know exactly how you feel. It is so frustrating having to sit and wait and do nothing until your next cycle begins. I was looking through my day planner just this morning, looking back at last month where I noted ultrasound and bloodwork appointments, etc. and I was reminded about how excited I was when all that was going on - at least I felt like I was doing something. I'm 38 so every month that goes by where nothing happens feels like this giant clock ticking...

I am really sorry. I know what you mean though. Although I do not "like" the injections, I was happy to start them again b/c I knew that meant we were moving forward with another cycle.

I pray everything works out for you when you start again. For now, cry as much as you need to. We are all here for you!

I wish we had done what you did. We went ahead and uped meds and added new meds and now I have to make the decision to do IVF or IUI because I did not get the results I wanted. Now we feel like we have wasted a lot of money on top of it all.

I am slowly getting better. I keep telling myself it is only a postponement, not the end. I will have another go at it and they know my body better so maybe they can fix the mistakes.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
