So I have been on Lupron (.2cc) for over a week now. Starting to see side effects a bit. Actually teared up at a party tonight with in-laws when happy to see them. In my head I was screaming "Really, glad to see you, but the tears are from the HORMONES I am on!!!!". My DH and I got a kick out of it! Hilarious!

Should start period this week and then begin calls to Yale and RE to schedule testing. I am really not into this. It's weird to be on drugs for a "mock cycle/testing"... no hope; just shooting up in hopes of finding and not finding something wrong at the same time.

Have I mentioned my sister-in-law is prego. She lives a few doors down and told me 2 days before my last FET. To say I find it difficult at times is being nice. I find myself the "ugliest person alive" full of jealousy, hate, and no sympathy. And I watch her pick up her son and inside I am screaming "DON'T DO THAT - YOU COULD LOSE THE BABY!". She gets preg so easily, and despite extreme nausea, truly has great pregnancies. I need to learn to be better at being happy for others.

I am screaming too much in my head these days, aren't I?

I attended a Women's prayer group for infertility this week. Truly wonderful women. It started 6 years ago with 2 women and has grown. Over 50% of those that come are alumni - there for support and inspiration! What a testament to how hard this is and how it affects us!!! Good news is, one in the group has done the EFT and now has twins. HOPE! I love that! And over 82 babies have been born and over 12 adoptions! In 6 years! That is encouragement! Amen!

Thanks to those that listen :)

Hi there,

Please allow me to apologize for never responding to your question on my blog from about two months ago. I am so embarrassed that it has been that long! I'm not normally the kind of person who ignores a comment, and I remember coming over to your blog after the holidays to see if you had an email address posted. Ah, anyway... sorry I let so much time pass to get back to you!

I'm curious to know how things are going for you. I have no experience with Lupron. I did have the EFT but I don't know anyone else who has had that test! I have absolutely no idea of any success stories (or otherwise). I wish I had more info myself, but after the test my doc basically said our recurrent miscarriage is caused by "multiple factors." We're really no closer to answers than we were years ago, I guess, which is incredibly frustrating.

Please feel free to email me any time - I'd be very interested in an update on you since January. I hope you might have some answers by now. I'll be praying for you!
