No Problem

No Problem

You know, I was expecting to feel a whole lot more like garbage than I do with all these shots and hormones and everything.  I mean, I’m definitely not “normal”, I feel like someone inflated a balloon in my abdomen and my stomach is bruised and sore, so bending over is kind of tricky.  But I don’t have major headaches, I don’t feel sick…nothin’ like that.

Even shots are getting easier.  Follistim?  Pssssh, no problem; easy as pie.  I don’t even feel the needle pricks from all these shots anymore.  (I do however still feel the medicine burn.  I doubt that gets easier.)

It’s amazing what you can get used to.

So far this isn’t so bad.  It’s not completely rocking my world.  I’m definitely tired and sometimes I just feel listless, but I think that is probably from the hormones.  I hate to think about IVF not working, but if it doesn’t and we have to do this one more time, I think I could do it.

Well, except for the Menopur shots.  I don’t want to think about doing those again.

Joey is my best friend. We welcomed our miracle baby, Analie Alexa on November 23, 2010. She was 7 lbs of cuteness and we are so thankful for her. We lost our first baby (who we symbolically named Samuel) the summer of 2009. I love being a Christian, even when it's hard. I've tried IVF. Twice. It worked. Once. That's how we got Analie. I'm always willing to talk about infertility. Diagnosis: Stage 4 Endometriosis (plus a few other bonus things) I'm live in Indiana. I enjoy reading and going for walks in the evening. I get my news from NPR. Someday I want to be a guest on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. I love backpacking, hiking, canoeing and survival camping. I'm a big fan of weekends. My bike's name is Thunder. I'm a youth pastor's wife. I dig cows. I don't handle stress well. I'm not good at fishing; I talk too much. Cooking and baking are my favorite. I love hanging out with my girlfriends! I'm a budding environmentalista. I love me my Joey. Texas is where we "came of age". I enjoy seeing animals and want my very own Alpaca. And Koala. And Panda. Conservation is beautiful. I'm a neat freak. I like all-natural, chemical-free, environmentally-friendly products. Green is my favorite color. Still.
