So I'm finally off the bcp and I'm down to 10 of the Lupron instead of 20. Yes, I have been having major hot flashes, nausea and mood swings but things are looking up.
List of positives:
- 20 more days until transfer max
- 85% chance of success
- off the bcp (this one usually causes the worst side effects for me)
- lost 3 pounds in the past few weeks some how, probably the depression, oops positives!
- I start estrogen shots tomorrow...in my butt...sooner I start, sooner it'll be over
- my donor starts her stimulants today
- donor is proven - her eggs have produced live babies
- she may only have to be on stims for 10 days which would move our schedule up
- I've been in this cycle for 21 days so I am just over half way finished (then comes the 2ww which also totally sucks, oh yeah this is supposed to be a list of positives...oops!)
- we could end up with twins
- maybe even a boy and a girl...how perfect
Okay that's all I've got, hopefully tomorrow I won't feel the 2 inch long needle go in my butt!

Honey,
This was a great post. Like we talked about this morning. I wouldn't do things any differently at this point because this is how we roll :)

Good job on staying positive. A proven donnor is a great thing. I can't wait to hear how she responds and how many eggs you get. GL with the shot today and hang in there you are 1/2 way done and the proccess will be so worth it when you hold your baby(s) in your arms.
PS: I asume Rich is your hubby. If so you have such a keeper on your hands. He sounds like a doll!
Thanks! I'm trying! You're right, it will all be worth it. Yes, he's my hubby and he is a doll, he's always been very supportive.
We are in this thing together so since you have to do all the rough stuff being supportive is the very least I can do. I love you and I want this to work out.
Rich
Is he a peach or what?
Great to hear you being so positive. Hang in there girl!
Love it! Your post even boosted my mood! I hope everything goes well in the coming weeks!! :)
P.S. Rich is awesome!
Thanks wannabe mom! I sure hope you are doing ok.
