If I Sound Cranky, It’s Because I Am

posted in TTC |

I went to the RE yesterday and he told me that everything was ‘excellent’ which should have made me feel better but it didn’t. I remain anxious and cranky. Getting up at 5 AM is no piece of cake and I’m tired. When I arrived there at 7AM there were 4 women ahead of me. Ugh! It sucks to wake up that early and have to wait.

The only things that actually make me feel better are green tea (which it tough because I tried to give up caffeine) and ginger tea. Everything else, and I do mean EVERYTHING ELSE is just a pain in my arse and contributes to my headache and bloated feelings. Oh, and every once in a while I feel a little twinge of pain in my ovaries.

I also learned yesterday that I am going to start Ganitrex on Sunday. So I will be taking Gonal F (225) in the AM and Menopur (3 vials) in the PM with a dash of Ganitrex. And where do all of the needles go you might ask? in the gut! I want to thank my appetite for giving me my love handles aka ‘the squishy midddle’ so that Nadia always has some ‘prime real estate’. Needless to say, I can’t wait to start the progestrone shots.

He did say that I would have (only) about one more week of medication, so that’s good news, right?

Yes only one more week of medication is definitely good news. Sorry about all the poking which must be endured. I’ll be doing the same starting my protocol tonight. Not that you need my permission, but you are soooo allowed your crankiness. Hang in there sweetie.

Hi - I’m sorry you’re feeling cranky - getting poked and prodded all the time certainly can’t help. That’s great news on the medication - sounds like your body is responding just as it should be. Each shot is just one step closer to getting a BFP!

go ‘head, pull out all the stops, be cranky! sometimes i need to fully embrace my crankies, have them full force to pass through them. i love that dakota will fully endorse my crankiness when it strikes (as she did yours in her comment above). it means that crankiness never comes between us. instead, is invited and included in what ever we are doing.

glad you have only one more week of drugs! we’ll be thinking of you and nadia while we are giving dakota her shots
