Had another ultrasound today.  I swear...I've been going for internal ultrasounds every day this week - this doctor's been in my junk so much, I feel like I need to buy him dinner or something.He...

For people on injectibles/IF meds: is anyone else finding that they are hungry ALL THE TIME?!  I do not feel full.  Ever.  I'm trying to be healthy and keep my weight down (which isn't working),...

One of my girlfriends from high school had her baby today (very very unusual situation with her, but whatever...not gonna gossip).  I was proud of myself.  I was able to look at and "like" all of...

I went in for my baseline ultrasound yesterday.  I was told everything was good.  As a "reward" I now get to take 3 injectibile meds a night instead of 1.  Regular old Lupron doesn't seem so bad...

So, I've seen some of the rage dump side effects of Lupron.  Newest one: random anxiety attacks.  I've dealt with depression in the past, and when I'm in an awkward situation or I get in trouble, I...

I always have weird dreams, but I notice that I rarely, if ever, dream about babies/children (especially my own).  Last night I had a dream that I had a baby, a boy.  My sister wanted to help name...

Just did my first Lupron injection.  I held up quite well.  In fact, my MIL (a nurse practitioner) was supervising me and thought I did remarkably well.  Of course, both of her sons are very very...

Tomorrow I start my injections.  This was always sort of a nebulous thing happening "next" in the future...and now it begins.  I'm really nervous.  What if I time everything wrong? What if I don't...

Hey friends! Nothing really new to report.  I'm just writing to let people know I'm still here.  I'm not reading the front page much...just the journals when you ladies update them.  I guess I'm...

My little sister just sent me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers - completely unexpectedly!  We were talking last weekend about everything I'm going through and all the horrible feelings I've...

So, we were supposed to start injectibles on Thursday.  Problem is, the hospital was slow to send info to ATTAIN, who in turn sent me the info needed on Friday.  Technically, the paperwork's...

I feel like such an awful friend.  Some people's pregnancies hit me worse than others do.  My BFF has two kids, but she was married long before I was and they're 8 and 5 now, so it doesn't bother...

So, Tuesday I had to go in and have the regular 8 vials of blood drawn (God, I hate that!) to test for whatever and send to ATTAIN.  I got a call on Wednesday from the dr's office that my level of...

So, the hospital pharmacy called yesterday.  Of the five injectibles I'll be taking, two are actually covered by insurance (Yay!)  But the three that aren't total to $1400 (BOO!).  Telling the DH...
