I Hate PIO

Oh my aching butt. Seriously, if they expect me to stay on this garbage until at least 7 weeks, they are insane. I am going to demand the suppositories. I have never been the best with shots. Lupron I can handle. It's a tiny SQ needle. This IM bull needs to stop. I am so damn sore. I can barely sit or climb stairs without wincing. I will take goopy shit leaking out of me 24/7 over this nonsense any day!

Yesterday I learned that I need to start paying more attention to my med protocol. Up until this week it was just patches every other day, an estrace and baby aspirin pill each night, and a shot of Lupron. Last night I checked to see when I needed to do my first HCG booster and noticed that I was supposed to take 4 Medrol pills with my lunch. Hopefully 9:20pm is just as good. Oops!

Three days til transfer! Yaaay!

  1. WOO-HOO!!! The count down is on =) Wishing you TONS of luck with transfer this week. Remember our clinic has great rates.

    To answer the Q's you posted on my blog. I see Dr Von Wald now. I use to see Dr Albrecht before he left and I was really sad to see him go too. One of the main draws to CRA for me is that they have the Lafayette office that I do all my monitoring at. If I lived in Denver I probably would have followed Dr A to his new clinic. I've heard it's a lot cheaper (fresh cycle is under $10k) and he took some good people with him. Dr Bush is a little too egocentric for me =) I know he's good though.

    1. I actually tried to contact Dr. Albrecht's new practice to see if we could do our FET there, but no one ever contacted me back. Oh well!

  2. The benefit to being on the round side....I have a nice cushion for my PIO shots! :D I got my meds this week and I was so relieved to see the shots versus the suppositories. I hate them! Hang in there! When is your transfer scheduled for? I'm on for Oct 8!

  3. LOL, I did the same thing with my meds...I didn't pay enough attention so I accidentally gave myself and extra dose of Lupron. And I hate the PIO shots too! I'm taking them right now and they are not fun. I don't know how I'm going to be able to keep them up for as long as my RE needs me to.
