I don't know how i ever took the stupid things for 4 years. Maybe it's just the brand, or maybe it's the mixture of pills, but i have been feeling so sick lately. Very naseous like all the time and tired and having headaches. Blah!!!
But i keep telling myself that I'll feel like this when i'm pregnant, so i better suck it up and get used to it. However, if i don't get pregnant, and all i end up with is the stupid symptoms, I'll be kind of mad!
Today marks the 2nd week of birth control pills. Just 11 more days until I start the lupron injections. Then we'll see how long it takes for me to suppress. I didn't ovulate through the pills last time, so I'm hoping we'll have the same luck this time.
Oh, and I won a contest!!!! I entered the scholastic open book tour contest to win tickets to see JK Rowling in NY and I won!!! I'm sooo excited. The event is on the 19th which is the night before our tentatively scheduled embryo transfer, but I'm hoping that she'll bring us luck. And I have sworn that if she does, I'll use Rowling or something Harry Potter related as the middle name for my child!!!!

catching up....
Well, it's been a while since I posted. Sorry about that. I got totally distracted and all. So let's play catch-up.
Our second cycle of IVF with ICSI failed again. We had a good follow up with the dr and are trying some new medications for our third cycle which we just started. Right now, we're on the birth control pills and metformin for Polycistic ovarian syndrome. Looks like we're going to be doing egg retrieval and transfer somewhere in mid october.
In August, my dad passed away. That was really rough, especially since it took 14 hours for someone to call and notify us. Plus, we were pretty much ignored at the service, but what can I say? My dad's greatest loves were his car and lynyrd skynyrd, so it shouldn't have suprised me too much.
Lately, we've learned about several people that we're close to who are pg or have just had babies. It's disheartening. I mean, I know I can't make people stop trying to make them stop getting pregnant in general, but it doesn't stop me from being sad. We're only 2 months away from hearing that we will most likely never have biological children, and adoption is too expensive to even begin considering.
So, i'm going to try to be better about posting. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
