Thank you for all of the ICLW visits! I need to step up my posting frequency, but I feel like I'm pretty boring these days.
Nothing like a gloomy Monday after a nice weekend. Yesterday was gorgeous weather-wise, sunny and warm. We hosted brunch for my husband's family and a good time was had by all. Nobody in his family likes to cook, so they are always happy for us to host any gatherings. And I love not having to drive anywhere - win-win! It also doesn't hurt that I can make simple things and they act like I should be on the next round of T.op Ch.ef. Quite an ego boost.
I took my last bcp yesterday, and it's Lupron only until my first u/s on May 9th. I thought the wait would be driving me crazy but it's been so busy I haven't had much time to dwell. Not much in the way of side effects yet. Last night I had trouble sleeping because I was so hot - but not exactly hot flashes. I've also been eating non-stop. I don't know what's causing that - but I think it's mental or stress-related. It doesn't seem like two weeks of pills could really mess with me that much. I know the world won't end if I gain a few pounds but it's so hard for me to lose I really don't want that to happen. I still have a few pairs of pants that I haven't been able to fit into since we started treatments.
Sorry for the whine, folks -- I'm still happy to have this chance and I'll wear muumuus every day if it means this cycle will work!
Hi! Here from ICLW, wohooo for the last pill (I always hated them!) and onwards and upwards to IVF!

Congrats on finishing bcp. That's the slow part. I'm sure things will pick up from here.
ReplyDeleteI know it's hard to experience the side effects from all the drugs, but you're right, it will all be worth it. Hope they start to go down as your body gets used to it...
Here from ICLW and so excited for your first, and very hopefully successful, IVF! Best of luck!
