Ok, I can't do it anymore.

KelinandKevin · June 2010

I need someone to go crazy with. I have been trying to stay away (and doing a pretty good job of not posting, but I am a lurka-holic) and it has slowly back fired on me. I am getting closer and closer to IVF and I have been withdrawling from everyone. I feel so "inward" right now and so lost. I know that IVF is the right thing to do and I start shots in like 10 days, but I feel like I am going through it alone (DH is supportive, but just doesn't get the pressure I feel). I can't pretend like I don't need you ladies and I can't hide from the fact that your the only ones who really know and give a sh!t about my IVF process. It is hard telling my IRL friends - they don't get it because they are all blissfully fertile.

So I am slowing stepping back into the board. Please forgive me in advance for my craziness and just know that I am on more meds than I can keep track of and that I will be a wreck for the next 4 weeks.

Love you ladies! Couldn't go through all this without you all....

Lady, you come and go as you need. You know we are always happy to see you, and understand when you need the break.

I'm glad you're back! I was just going to page you today and ask how you're doing.

I've never been through IVF, but I can imagine to some extent how scary it is. You're ready, and you're going to handle this process beautifully.

Hey!! Congrats to you! I saw a post about you earlier today but I was at work and couldn't respond. I am so happy for you! Are you excited? Any betas yet?

We love you Kelin. And you have my phone number. I love my infertiles more than anyone. I'm never too busy to take your call

If you have any ivf questions let me know. I am starting injections for ivf#3 in about 10 days. I am on bcp pills for 10 days then go with injections. I am doing some different injections this cycle so I don't hyperstimulate this time.

Surprise

I am taking BCP's until June 21, then I start up Lupron. I may totally be hitting you up for advice and "is this normal" questions so I don't bug my poor RE to death. What kind of injections are you doing? What dose does your RE have you on?

Kelin - you know we miss you terribly, don't you? But we also know that coming and going is absolutely okay. you do what you need and can do. and we are here.

I can't imagine the stress you are feeling, and can't believe this cycle is here for you already. It seems like just yesterday you started to talk about the possibility. You are a strong woman, and I am hoping with all my might this is it for you.

(and if at any point I need to get out the peeing monkey PIP, I will. just for you. I have no shame.)

That would make my night - seriously. That picture makes me snort every time I see it.

How are you doing? How's life?

I am starting with follistim this time, not sure the dosage yet haven't gotten my calendar yet from the RE. I am doing a lupron trigger this time which is different then the last 2. I am nervous about her changing up my meds since we changed them a little for ivf#2 and that worked so I thought it would be the same this time. But I react really well to the injectibles and had mild hyperstimulation last time and she wants to prevent that this time. I am just hoping that we will also have a few to freeze. I have done lupron and menopur in the past and also did follistim the last two times. The injection that is the worst for me is the progesterone. THe others weren't that bad and I even did some of the injections myself while I was at work.

Bring on the crazy! I love you and miss you. We'll take as much of you as we can get. And we'll hold your hand through the IVF. And if it doesn't work we'll help you egg the doctor's car. Pinky promise.

Hey Keln - I get where you are coming from. I've had to step away a few times myself. My 3rd loss sent me over the edge a bit. But you are right in that these ladies are hard to walk away from as they seem to be the only one's who understand. Big hugs to you and like others have said, come and go as you please. You all have graced me so much in this area! (((HUGS)))
