Well, as the title indicates I am no longer a Lupron virgin! I had Dh give me the first shot this morning. I have obviously done SQ injections in the past but I wanted Dh to do it so he could get used to sticking a needle in me before the IM shots. He was nervous at first but he did a great job. It burned a little for a second but nothing too bad. I am terrified of the horrible side effects that some people say they have but hopefully I will be one of the lucky ones. Only 3 more BCPs to go!
We had a pretty uneventful weekend. We too MIL to breakfast on Saturday and then spent the day making our pet rock favors and scanning pictures of Dh for his party. He he, he is going to kill me when he sees some of the pictures I scanned! Sunday was the usual Sunday filled with church stuff. I still haven't gotten a few RSVPs for Dh's party even though the RSVP deadline was Saturday. I just don't understand why it is so hard for people to RSVP. Don't they realize I need a final headcount for food and seating!
Anyway, that's about it for now! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
PCOS, IVF, and a whole lot of craziness!

My Treatment History
9/2002- Got married to the love of my life and began trying to have a baby. Stopped birth control after taking for several years.
1/2003- Went to GYN after months of temping and never getting AF. I was told it is normal for the body to take months to "get back to normal" after being on birth control for so long and sent home.
4/2003-Still never had AF and was obviously not ovulating. Saw and RE and was diagnosed as "the poster child for PCOS." Put on Metformin.
4/2003-8/2003- Met did asolutely nothing to help me ovulate. Saw a new RE who put me on clomid.
8/2003-8/2005- Several cycles of clomid/IUI and Femara/IUI only to ovulate three times. RE Recommended moving straight to IVF.
8/2005-8/2007- Save/raise money for IVF.
8/2007-11/2007- Insurance company denies referral for IVF. Insists I do at least two cycles of injectables/IUI before moving on to IVF. Doctor not happy but agrees to move forward.
12/2007- First Injectable/IUI cycle begins.
12/29/07- IUI with injectables #1-BFN

I second that lack of understanding why people can not RSVP. It's just weird to me. So sorry about A --- really - buy a clue
YAY for starting Lupron! I commented to your DH that I am always very nice to my DH during this part of the cycle. He could really hurt me with those IM needles. When is your Lupron eval?
yeah for lupron. I second the RSVP, i mean c'mon!
As for your cousin, your so much nicer than i am, if i have someone, such as A, who annoys me and is rude, I cut them out, they no longer exist. Regardless how they are related to me.
I'm glad you've got started. The waiting is the worst.
FWIW I didn't get any bad side effects on Lupron, in fact I think it suited me quite well! Weird.
YAY for starting the Lupron, I hope your s/e's aren't bad. I only got a bit of headaches and hotflashes. Totally bearable. Good luck!
A is for A@@HOLE! She should have at least had the courtesy to RSVP if she was coming, let alone bringing a stranger!
Hey Morissa

That is strange that she asked if she could bring the roommate. I would have been pissed too!!
