IVF Update #3

The side effects come marching one by one...

We were hoping that we would be side effect free until we started injections, but alas, we were wrong. I guess it shouldn't be a surprise being that I'm taking 20 pills every day.

I started with being bloated and an upset stomach. Next came fatigue and nasty craps. By mid-week I was feeling nauseous. And to top it off, the whole time I have to deal with my vaginal suppository oozing pink and white - gross.

Physical side effects are manageable; I like to think I have a high pain tolerance. But then we unknowingly boarded the emotional train. All aboard! I was getting grumpy with Daniel; I knew it was unreasonable, but I couldn't stop myself. I also started overreacting to irritating people. Hopefully I managed to not overreact openly.

But I want to end on a good note. One of the vitamins that the doctor told me to take is Melatonin. Melatonin is to help you sleep.

My whole life I've struggled falling asleep. Even as a kid my parents would try to play soothing music to help me sleep. Ever since I started taking Melatonin, right before bed, I've been able to fall asleep quickly every night. I still can't fall asleep as fast as Daniel, but he could win championships for fastest person to fall asleep.

So for anyone out there that struggles with sleep, try some! You can buy it at any grocery store or vitamin shop. And it comes in a gummy, so that is a double win!

Thanks again for your support! It is amazing how many people care about us and are rooting for us. We love you!
