I begged my RE to let me just ride it out and avoid BCPs, because I HATE the side effects. She gave me one cycle, and if they're not shrunk I have to take the BCPs.
Zook - can you update me on the adoption list? We're officially licensed and waiting for a call! Also, my latest DX includes DOR, but we're sticking with injects+IUI for now. As of right now, we're only going to try 2 more IUIs, and then focus on the adoption.
