Maybe I’m just deluding myself while my loved ones hide from my wrath, but so far, I’m not feeling any effects of the Lupron Depot. There tends to be a rush of estrogen before it shuts down completely, so maybe I’m still just experiencing the rush? Even that doesn’t feel different, though. I expected that [...]

When you do this long enough…

everybody else wins. Everybody else who was TTC leaves you behind. Everybody who started TTC after you leaves you behind. Everybody who hasn’t even started TTC but will next month leaves you behind. I’m on a chat board of toddler Moms. On that board there is a TTC section. I am now the only one [...]
The Waiting Game
Posted in Uncategorized on February 17, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
That’s what we’re doing now. Just waiting until June to move forward and enduring other treatments (Lupron Depot and another laproscopic surgery) until then. In the meantime, I’ve been exercising significantly more now that I’m not doing treatments and watching what I eat like a hawk. As a result I’m down 9 lbs in 7 [...]

In less than 12 hours, I get my first Lupron Depot shot. Eeeeek! I’m hoping I’ll be able to survive it with no side effects and all of this worry will be for nothing. I did a fasting blood draw today and then hung out for another 2 hours (still not eating) to repeat the [...]
The expensive side of IF treatments

Today we sat down to do our taxes. Turbo Tax said if we had more than $x of medical costs, we should try to input them for the medical deduction. Um, we have $4x, at least, so no worries there! Now comes the fun part. I’ve been PRETTY good keeping receipts, but this is a [...]
May the insurance company Gods shine down on me today!!!

I’m about to ask for all of the prayers, thoughts, juju, interpretative dance, meditative thoughts, whatever you do! So we’ve been out of pocket for all infertility treatment, which has cost us a fortune and made the whole IF roller coaster 100x more frustrating to ride. Our insurance company switched as of Jan 1st. Wording [...]
A little re-design!

I’ve been frustrated with the layout and design of my blog for a while but finally got a few minutes to sit down and play with it. So, here you go. Simple redesign that’s hopefully a little easier on the eye.
Trying to go “no-poo.”

No, not constipation, sillies! No shampoo! I’ve read about this for a while but finally got around to trying it this weekend. I had suggested it to a friend who said she couldn’t find a shampoo that didn’t make her head itch like crazy. She’s been raving about it for a few weeks, so I [...]
Another month, another surgery…

This is getting kind of old! I had a call-in consult to talk to the RE today about the schedule for our FET planned for June. It’s a little complicated since I’m doing 3 months of the devil drug (Lupron Depot), and I wanted clarification on the scheduling. Also (and perhaps more importantly as I [...]
The plan is a go!

So I got to talk to a body today. Turns out my doc’s regular nurse has been out of the office, so somebody who probably doesn’t know my chart well was returning my call yesterday. Anyway, we will start Lupron Depot on 2/19. Perhaps I should start a page called “crazy watch” that my husband [...]
