I'm sure most of my infertile blogger friends read Naomi's blog on a daily basis. If not, check it out. It may not seem funny to fertiles, but it's the raw truth about infertility jacked up with sarcasm. This girl cracks me up!!!
999 Reasons to Laugh at Infertility
Hey, I have to find some way to laugh at the ridiculousness that has become my life...
Everything continues to go as planned. I'm still doing double Lupron injections every morning. I'm starting to get some belly bruises, but not too bad yet. I started my cycle this a.m., which was expected after stopping the birth control pills. I am ecstatic because this didn't happen on time during our first cycle! This means that the cyst is definitely not there and that my estrogen level has dropped. I go back for a scan and bloodwork on Monday morning to make sure everything is clear so that I can start the stimulation meds. They will also do an antral follicle count so that I can get an idea of how many possible follicles there will be to stimulate. It varies month by month...last month I had 17. So far, this has been a textbook cycle.
I can't wait to take a picture of this truckload of meds...they increased the doses which means I will probably have to choose between keeping food or medications in my fridge!
In other news, I'm about to be an aunt for the second time this year...my sister is about to have her baby girl! Anytime now!
Andy is heading down to Charleston tomorrow to drop his load at the clinic. Lucky him.
They will be separated and frozen so that they won't be hastily searching for soldiers on retrieval day. We should have plenty to choose from this time. Now, if the eggs will just cooperate.
Geez, I could have used a little more couth up there...you have to admit it was pretty funny though. Besides, we've lost all modesty nowadays. Wanna know how we accomplished that? I've put my legs up in stirrups about 500 times in the past 4.5 years. Andy has become a professional sharpshooter into the depths of a sterile container, all the while cheap porn drowns out the laughter of lab personnel on the other side of the door. Top that.
Ridiculousness. Lol.

BWAHAHAHA!!! You crack me up girl! I love that you have somehow found humor in all this...I think you'd go crazy if you hadn't. Tell Andy good luck with that & to give a good sample (we don't want any duds, hehe). I'm so glad to hear that everything is going smoothly this cycle!! Love ya.
P.S. If you decide you need some food to put in your fridge, let me know...I'll hook you up!
LOL! I almost chocked on my cereal---not to self, don't eat breakfast while reading Jess's blog posts! I'm so glad that it is all going smoothly for you! I've been thinking about you a lot lately, and I'm praying that this cycle is the one where you finally get your BFP and the baby sticks around for 9 months!

I was just talking to my DH about how modest I have been my whole life until now....I can't be anymore. I have had my who-ha poked and prodded so many times that it doesn't phase me anymore, LOL!! Good luck with this cycle.
I love you more than you will ever know!!!
Love,
Your #1 fan!
You are awesome too!
