Tell me again that it's worth it

I had blood drawn this morning to check my hormone levels.  The nurse called and said that they "aren't bad", but I have to start taking estrogen and progesterone.  And a vaginal suppository.  Oh joy!

::chants "It's worth it in the end, it's worth it in the end"::

I think that at this point I'll be more pisssed than sad if I don't get pregnant.  All these medications are insane!!!

Re: Tell me again that it's worth it

  • "aren't that bad" is way better than "don't look good".... it sounds as if these other "tools" are tried and true to help get to a better spot. 

     Good luck, and it will be worth it in the end, knowing you've done everything you possibly can to get to your dream, no matter how the journey ends up.  I'd say that for any dream, not just this one.

     

  • IT'S WORTH IT!!!!

    My BFF had to take the vaginal suppositories of proestrogen (??) after her IVF.  She said it wasn't that bad but it does leak out throughout the day so make sure you wear a pad.  And she said it was a weird orange color.  It doesn't hurt, it's just annoying :)

    They wouldn't have you take that stuff if there wasn't a chance you were knocked up!!!

  • It's worth it!!

    You just might have to continue that chant again when you have a teenager. Stick out tongue

  • It's worth it. Yeah suppositories!!!!

  • Thanks ladies!  I know that there are far worse things in life than a vaginal suppository.  And I know that this is probably the easiest part of the whole process.  Just one more reason to add to my list of why I love being a woman!

    The nurse did say that there is a great chance that I'm pregnant with the number of follicles that I had and Drew's numbers.  That was reassuring!

  • I spent $160 tonight on presciptions.  The pharmacist must have been in a sassy mood tonight because he told me I couldn't have a refund if they didn't work.  Thanks a lot, dude!  Haha!!

  • Ew, wtf. I don't like when checkout people comment on items like that - especially medical things! I would have said and you're the last person who will know if they don't, since its none of your business. Oooh maybe I'm sassy here at this early hour!

  • Hang in there, it's worth it!  I had to take progesterone during my first trimester and my best friend had the suppository, neither one was too terribly bad.  I will keep my fingers crossed for you!
