What’s 2 more!?

Look at me, posting twice in a week! I just cannot stay away from you all.

A quick little update, last month when I started the Provera (the pill to get my period), I noticed I was getting really bad headaches. Almost on the verge of migraines. After the Provera ended and the Femara began I was still not having any relief. I figured it was because I had been sick and thought nothing more. WELL, BOY WAS I WRONG. I started the Provera for this month earlier in the week and I have had a headache that has progressively turned into a migraine. I finally gave into the pain and called V’s office for some help. They prescribed me another medication to add to the small pharmacy worth that I already have. I have taken this one before and I am hoping it works. I do not know if I can handle any more of these migraines. On top of the headache pills, she gave me a generic version of a blood sugar medication called Metformin. I have had a terrible experience with this drug before but I am so willing to try anything for Baby D.

This month of treatments has been so rough this far. I have been sick to my stomach, foggy brained, and the migraines. I think last month going smoothly was a blessing rather than an insight into this journey. Hopefully, it does not get worse from here.

We have also finally been able to pick up the injections! That was pretty exciting honestly. It is a little intimidating seeing all the needles and knowing there is a chance Chuck will not be here to do them for me. Thankfully one of my staff at work is so amazing and offered to do them if he is gone.

So now we have a new norm, it involves more pills in a night that I have ever taken in my life, constant headaches and some nausea, multiple doctor appointments a month, and having more trans-v ultrasounds at 24 years old than any other woman will probably ever have, yay me. But, I am realizing that will every new month and the new treatments it brings, it is making the thought of Baby D that much more amazing. Realizing how hard we are working to have this tiny human amazes me every single day. So for now, I will put up with all the yuckiness that is taking a front seat to this journey, put on my big girl panties, and enjoy the ride.

Keep praying Team D.

xoxo, ALD

How funny is Chuck for buying me this!
