Yes sweetie, just be careful or you'll end up like I did. Now I'm 53 and it's very hard to get the weight off. I had cravings all the time and would eat till I was so miserable. Just keep an eye on it. I honestly don't remember changing to larger sizes...boy was I blind!

I wish you didn't have to go through this. It is such an emotional ride that you wonder if it will ever end. If I could make it better for you, I would.

Hopefully I'm only going to have a couple of more days of the drugs - this morning's ultrasound showed several mature follicles. I think the egg retrieval is going to be either Wed. or Thursday. I have to admit that I am terrified - I'm no nervous that it will end up like last time and we won't get any embryos.

Like the others said, you can vent here all you like. Hormones can be so hard on us even when we're not pumped up on them like you are right now. We certainly can sympathize with what you're going through. We're praying that all goes well for you and that your dreams come true! (We'll even let you use ALL capital letters if you want to!!!)

Hormones have done crazy things to me as well. I could NOT take a shower without crying for nearly a month when I first started a BC pill 6 months ago. I don't know why the shower was so bad, but I guess it just gave me too much time to think. It was also right after I found out that I might not be able to have children so that had a lot to do with it too I think. My poor hubby had to put up with a crazy emotional wreck for 4 or 5 months until my body adjusted. I think I'm handling it a lot better now though. I don't know how the hormones you are on are, but hopefully you're body will adjust soon as well. Good luck! *hugs*

Thanks Kat - I just got off the phone with the nurse. The egg retrieval is this Wed at 9:30am. Then, if we get any viable embryos - that procedure will be Friday morning. I go from being nervous to just crying - I'm so worried that it will end up like last time.

Dobie, I know it is hard, but Kat is right. You need to relax and have faith. Being stressed can affect the outcome. When we were having so much trouble with infertility, our doctor actually suggested that we needed to consider adoption because once you adopt you relax and pregnancy often occurs. We did not resort to adoption, but you see this so many times. Please try your best to find peace and hope, relax and feel strong.
