I did it, I didnt think I could but I was abble to inject my self! Not once but twice now! So here is where we are: Took Provera for 10 days starting on October 15th AF showed on November 1st On November 3rd I went in for my first visit with Ultra sound and blood draw. This was so gross in that I was in the middle of full flow!! ICK!!! any way... the lining was at 5mm (she said I had a bit more bleeding to go) then she drew some blood. I got a call in the afternoon, she said that my estrogen levels were at 37 which she said was Fabulous! This made me feel a bit better. Well last night we did the first injection... Omg I was so scared that I was going to screw it up!  Anyway we were able to get it together and I shot my self! Enter in the weird side effects. With in 5 min.

How do you get where you are going? This sounds like a simple enough question, but amazingly enough it’s not a simple question at all. This week DH and I decided that it is time to head back to the RE (Reproductive Endocrinologist). This in turn has made me do a little soul searching and reflecting on the past few years. For instance what has led us to this decision and how did we get here? Well if you will humor me I will attempt a brief rundown of what has led us here. Let’s start at the beginning December 1997, I was 16 going on 17 (and now I digress in to a little music from the Sound of Music) and I met my husband, being the only girl in an all boy computer class. I was a junior in High School and he was a senior. He was clearly the brains in the class and was kind enough to let me cheat off of him because I had no fricken clue what I was doing. Fast forward to the end of that school year, Nick and I were still going strong, and had joked about kids and marriage and all of ...
