Last night was my first shot of lupron.  I did so good with it and I was proud of myself for remembering to to give it to myself.  I didn’t even hesitiate.  It felt like second nature to me.  So far Im feeling ok. Last time I took the lupron I was pretty sick.  Im praying that this time will be different.  I kept thinking last night that I can’t believe that we are doing this again.  Are we crazy?  I am so excited to be starting again, but a little skeptical.  I think the second time around you know what to expect.  So here we go again.  We are in for the ride of our lives…..AGAIN…….

So I talked to my doctor yesterday and she was just calling to see if I had received my meds and was ready for my lupron to start on the 29th.  Of course I said yes and Im exstatic to start on that day.  She did pose another question to me about the amount of eggs to transfer.  Last time we transfered 2 perfect eggs back and nothing.  This time she wants us to transfer three.  THREE eggs could mean THREE babies.  I can’t even wrap my mind around that.  So know we have about 3 weeks to figure out how many eggs to put back.  I have been reading a blog about a girl named maryellen and her triplets and all of the craziness that surrounds her pregnancy and I think that she is one of the strongest people out there.  I don’t know if I could go through it.  So any advise from anyone is much needed.  This will now be all that I think of for the next for days…….

We are starting a new blog along with the beginning of our second IVF.  We are not telling all of our family and friends that we are beginning round number two.  All of them still frequently check our last blog so I don’t feel comfortable posting to it anymore.  I still want to be in blog world to share and get insight from others that have been through the hell of infertility.  I welcome any suggestions, comments, or anything you have to say.  A little background about us is that I suffer from endometriosis and we have been trying for 3 years.  I have done numerous IUI’s and we just finished a IVF cycle in September that resulted in a negative.  We are currently waiting to start our lupron shots on the 29th of Jan.  I am very excited to be starting again but more cautious as to how I truly feel about this.  I know that it can’t work so now I have to keep all of doors open and know that we may get another negative.  I hope that others will visit here and let me in on how people deal with this craziness.  I haven’t figured it out yet.  So here is to two more weeks before shots begin and the ride starts all over.  Hope to hear from lots of you.
