The Bright Side February 8, 2010
So, I’ve decided that the one upside to permanent and irreversible infertility is never having to take birth control pills again. I popped my last one this morning, and I am D-O-N-E with those evil things.
I don’t get how people can handle them on a regular basis. Heck, I don’t know how I handled taking them for five years before we started trying to conceive. (Oh so funny in hindsight.)
Regardless, my pack of evilness has been banished from the bathroom, and I am so very glad. Baseline is on Thursday, and I’m definitely ready to get things going. This “do nothing” phase of IVF really irks me.
If everything looks ok on Thursday then I’ll start microdose Lupron on Friday and stims on Saturday. I know it’s not something people say every day, but I’m looking forward to the needles. At least that’s doing something.

I am so hopeful for you Amanda…I know you are realistic about your odds but I am hoping like crazy for you! Yay for needles and getting started.
Oh gosh, I hate those pills too! I was first one some heavy duty ones that had some terrible side effects….then a low dose one with it’s own cast of terrible side effects. I just don’t know if there is a good one out there!?
Oh they KILLED me – isn’t it funny that we were on them and not affected, but they freak you out before an ivf cycle? Bizarre isn’t it?
