I Think I Swallowed My Stomach

It's Day 3.

The good news is that (besides still having broadband, hence me posting) I haven't been having the dreaded mood swings. I remember round one of IVF treatment before, a specific incident involving throwing candles as I screamed and cried about something one of the cats had done (I don’t remember what it is the cat had done, knowing my high level of sensitivity at the time it probably was something like breathing or walking or something like that.) The mood swings are absent, and I thank whatever god wants to own up to being responsible for that..

I do have a few other problems-I feel uncomfortable, like my uterus has been filled with concrete. I have severe heartburn. I am a bit bloated, and from time to time I have these moments when I am so hot I feel like I'm standing behind an exhaust pipe. It comes and goes relatively quickly, but when it does I feel like my body is on fire.

But I remember the shot everyday, everyday at 5 pm.

Everyday at 5 pm, for 33 more days, my life is going to belong to that Ronald McDonald colored box.

I hope the move went well. I am so glad that the drugs aren't giving you as many side effects. The concrete uterus doesn't sound pleasant though. I hope that is short lived!
5pm - it's kinda like tea time for now.

Good that the modd swings are not present this time around. Maybe shooting the Buserelin suits you better than sniffing it. What's the dosis you take per day?

I started sniffing yesterday and was really appreciative of the side effects that you warned me about, but NOTHING so far. I know that still could come...but for now I am a happy sniffer.

Good luck with the rest of the Buserelin...hope the heavy concrete uterus feeling goes away soon.

Take care!

PS: Am still working on the "secret handshake" :-D will let you and the rest of the cyclers know soon :-D

ooh. glad you're not having any mood issues. but the "uterus filled with concrete" sure sounds... heavy! yikes. you have 33 days of shots? that's a bit more than me. i am looking forward (in 1 week) to starting about 10 days of shots. and i am new at this so probably won't be as brave as you. ;) if i start throwing candles, i will know why!
