So what’s new with you?

Well I’m back after quite a hiatus. I just couldn’t get myself to concentrate long enough to discuss anything new going on with me and my uncooperative body. It’s been a little (well maybe a lot) stressful these last few months. My body is trying to adjust coming off of Lupron, as well as, adjusting [...]

Diet…

Starting the Endo diet again. I felt so much better when I was on it. It was remarkable how it got rid of my constantly bloated stomach! So here we go again. I’m ready to feel better again…and get into my old clothes. I’m sick of  having to clasp my jeans with a rubber band and wearing [...]

What in the world?!

Seems as if I am gaining by the minute these days. Nothing fits me anymore. My stomache is HUGE…I’m assuming a lot of it is bloat but man my appetite is insatiable. I had to go through some old clothes this morning to find a pair of jeans that were ALWAYS too big for me. [...]

Mirena I.U.D.

Had the pleasure of having an IUD inserted yesterday. Um yeah…sooo not fun. Took my DH with me…bless his heart. I think he was more traumatized than me. First I had an ultrasound which showed very good news. NO MORE ENDO. Even the endometriomas that showed up after surgery are gone! So there is a [...]

Up late, worrying again…

Just realized it’s just a few days away from August. I should be excited because this month I’ll receive my last Lupron injection. However, it’s also sinking in that I made the decision to have and IUD inserted the same day. From the get go I’ve been worried about the pain of insertion and from [...]

Bone Scan

Just last week I had a chance to talk to my RE about some symptoms brought on by Lupron. Mainly the intense fatigue…and joint pain. This is our plan of attack. I will schedule a bone scan just to make sure that the joint pain I’m having isn’t being caused by some bone density loss [...]

Praying for guidance…

(Now before I get into what I’ve been pondering I want to clarify that this my personal opinion concerning my life. I am the very proud aunt to three gorgeous IVF babies…so I’m not against it in any way.) I have really struggled with reasons why I’ve been burdened with infertility. Something that “should”come so naturally by God’s [...]

OK that was a long break…

But I’m back!! So I was only in Cancun for a week…which was AH-MAZING!!! Even with the swine flu outbreak (which was totally sensationalized by the media by the way.) At times I wish I were back…but who wouldn’t really?! Cancun   I had to take a break from everything. I even stopped reading blogs [...]

All packed…

And ready to head out on my “30th” birthday vacation tomorrow…to CANCUN!! Flight leaves out tomorrow morning and I’ll return on Thursday. I pray for uneventful flights, lots of sunshine and plenty of down time. I need a break from life for a bit. Bummed I won’t be participating in ICLW…there’s always next time right?! :) [...]

Lupron-Week 5…

I almost forgot about the Lupron update. Hot flashes are HOT!! Like break into a sweat hot… but still quick. I find that if I don’t think about it I won’t get one. They are sort of tapering off a bit since the middle of last week. But right after the injection it was pretty [...]
