Good LORD I’m tired!

I started progesterone on Saturday. I feel like the walking dead. So estrogen= depressed and overwhelmed. Progesterone= depressed, crazy and EXHAUSTED. I fell asleep on the couch last night at 7:30pm. I woke up at 5:30am and could easily go back to bed for a good 4 hours. YAWN! Back to the old IF treatment [...]

I’m best when I’m refocused

I’m best when I’m refocused on O and my family. So tonight we did our first “mystery trip.” I read this in some magazine at the ENT’s office (I’ve read every single People, Redbook, Southern Living, Parents, etc for the last year with all these dumb doctor’s appointments.) Basic idea is to pack the whole [...]

I was just thinking about nursing…

…and how ready I was to wean O at 19 months. How every day I resented the time it took to nurse him at that night b/c I was so tired of always having to do bed time. How happy I was when he weaned himself. I wish I’d known it might have been the [...]

I’ve been uninvted from the free “Mind/Body Workshops”

My RE is offering these free Mind/Body Workshops that I’ve been SOOO looking forward to. They’re on topics like stress-relief, relaxation techniques, strategies for riding the emotional and physical rollercoaster of infertility, etc. They’re free, which is awesome. I’ve been really looking forward to this, and frankly, I could use all the stress-relief I can [...]

So fun taking a depressant

Ugh. So for the last year and a half or so I’ve been pretty depressed. I don’t know if it was just the fertility drugs (which can have that side-effect), or the fact of the infertility itself. Either way, it has not been fun. When I stopped taking the fertility drugs (I was, at the [...]

One last time…

I went in for my post-op appointment on Friday and also found out some information about my upcoming FET cycle. In bad news, my endo had moved from stage 1-2 to stage 3. Blech. He said there wasn’t a ton of endometriosis on my left ovary, but there was a lot of scarring and adhesions [...]
