Forgot how much I hate IVF
Have been on the meds for just over a week now...the shots hurt, my belly is bruised all over, the crook of my left arm is so bruised it's almost black because that's the only spot they can get a vein to draw blood, I'm so bloated all I want to do is sleep, and I am a hormonal nutjob...OK vent over. The absurdity of what we have to go through, just for a chance to get pregnant, makes me laugh, because I'd rather laugh than cry. Besides I do enough crying about everything else. Hoping to get my eggs taken out this weekend but as the nurse told me, my eggs are growing steadily but very slowly so who knows when they'll be ready.

That's progress! How many good eggs are they seeing? Hang in there! I HATE IVF too... the needles etc... I said I'd never do it again. But its temporary! And growing slow is better than too fast and hyper-stimulation. Bright side. Laugh it up! Do whatever you need to do. Ice your belly before you do the injections and it wont hurt as much. You can do this! You are a warrior more than most! Keep us posted!
