Monitor appt 1

My lining was a craptastic 5.5 at monitoring this morning. I have three weeks of meds so I pray it grows. I start 15 days of Viagra tomorrow but I've read alot of studies that say Viagra doesn't do much for women with uterine damage. It's hard to be optimistic. I just want to pull the covers over my head and cry. I hate this with every fiber of my being.

On the upside my sister sent me an e card this morning and it made me smile: be the kind of woman that when you get up in the morning and your feet hit the floor. The devil says, oh crap! She's up!"

I hope we are all that kind of woman today.

  • Haha! That's a great line. I need to remember that!

    Did your doctor mention using estrogen patches to increase your lining? I used them during the cycle that I got pregnant with DS, and they really seemed to work. However, I cannot remember what
