Peeing like a Smurf

I am currently doing Lupron injections and taking Estrace to build my lining for a nice plush bed for those embabies to settle in to.  My lining check is this Friday.  If all goes well, the transfer will be next Friday.

My first go round of taking the Estrace tablets didn't quite get the lining exactly where Dr. W wanted to see it, so at the lining check she directed me to take one tablet vaginally, in addition to what I had already been taking orally.  I originally wrote about that in my You Want Me to Stick It Where post back in November.

Knowing that I needed a little extra last time, we planned from the beginning that I would take 5 doses of Estrace this time around - 3 orally and 2 vaginally.  So, I get the pleasure of not only taking my morning dose of the little blue pill, I also get the pleasure (not!) of sticking one up my hoo-ha.  Then I take my afternoon dose orally.  Then in the evening, I get to take another one orally AND vaginally again!

As a result, my underwear are getting nice blue stains and I am peeing like a smurf.  Okay, the pee itself is not blue, but boy am I getting some pretty tp when I wipe.  My vay-jay is also not feeling too happy

Too much info?  Oh well.  Just sharing the joys of this whole process with you!

  5. makes me happy I just had estrogen patches. I did have to take progesterone vaginally but it was a nice cream color so nothing too disturbing. The things we put ourselves through ;)

    1. I actually only have take it vaginally for 5 days, so that's not too bad. I HATED the crinone though!!! I'd rather do the PIO injections than the crinone vaginally. Ugh!

  6. At least they're kind enough to not make them red! Should we buy stock in panty liners?

  10. Haha I just posted about this as well, since I'm taking Estrace vaginally for my endo biopsy this month. I'm actually very tempted to take a picture of a liner and post it, since it can't even be considered gross...it just looks like those old pad commercials from the 80s where they used blue liquid! C'mon...if you do it, I'll do it. I can't be the only gross one. ;)

    1. So funny that we both posted about our smurfy good times! I can be the ultimate in gross, but I can't make myself actually take a picture of it. I would definitely get a kick out of it if you do though!

    1. No they aren't! Thankfully, I only have to do this for 5 days. The crinone absolutely killed my vajayjay. So glad to not be using that!

  14. I laughed. I mean, I'm sorry you're stuck in situation where you have to do all of this, but at the same time, I'm glad that this process exists and you can see the funny (blue hoo-ha) side of it.

    Fingers crossed!

  15. Amber, this is infertility. There's no such thing as TMI. (-:

  16. I am new to the bloging world, I wish you all the best with your transfer. I have read through a lot of your posts to catch up. I can relate to so many! So many of the other comments are totally true TMI doesn't exist with infertility :) Happy to have found this blog :)
