So I'm sitting here crying with my Follistim and I just can't make myself take the shot.
I have gotten pregnant on my own 6 times. What is this really going to do for me? I really am starting to feel like we've been through enough.
And WTF is with the side effects listed in the booklet? I know if the shoe was on the other foot there is no way DH would be taking the shots.
Maybe ART just isn't for us.

Oh, I'm so sorry you feel so fed up. This whole IF thing sucks!! (I know.) If you're not up for it, just put it aside and don't give it another thought. You need listen to yourself (and only yourself where these things are concerned.)
ReplyDeleteIf you continue,just know that the shots are not that bad once you get it down. The bruising sucks, but other than that, at least for me, the side effects weren't too bad.
I hope you can find a way to be at peace with everything one way or another. ((hugs!))
Thanks, Gwynn! I'm sorry I always come here to vent...it doesn't make for a very fun blog, huh!
ReplyDeleteI decided to suck it up and do the Follistim. We're not sure we want to move on to IVF in the future, but I at least want to try a cycle of this and see how it goes.
We did our 2nd shot tonight and I've had a lot of headaches/fatigue, but it's nothing I can't handle so far...
