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!
A blue hoo ha! That is pretty smurfy!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is pretty smurftastic!
Deletehahaha oh the joys of fertility drugs...
ReplyDeleteGot to have a sense of humor and laugh about it when we can :)
DeleteHa ha! A blue hoo ha! Better than blue balls! Sorry... too much?
ReplyDeleteLOL!!
Nothing is too much when it comes to this stuff! lol
DeleteAwesome...
DeleteGuess all you can do is have a good sense of humor about it lol :) It'll all be worth it in the end!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope so! :)
Deletemakes 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 ;)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
DeleteAt least they're kind enough to not make them red! Should we buy stock in panty liners?
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yes, red would be even worse.
DeleteHa ha love this! I agree with Jamie, at least it isn't red. ;)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
DeletePraying this works out for you! Very exciting that its all starting.
ReplyDeleteOnly a week to go! Yikes. Kind of scary too.
Deleteare you saying your cervical mucus is the color of your blog backdrop!? lol! so glad that your next cycle is upon us!! keep up updated!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yes, exactly!
DeleteHaha 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. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo 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!
DeleteI have to say Amber, I love the humor of you and your fellow bloggers during all of this. True believer that laughter will get you through the worst of times! Prayers and love coming your way always! Best wishes for the 24th!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, check your email, hoping to get your answer soon. Love you lots, Auntie
Thank you Aunt D. I'll answer your email soon! I have to check with T.
DeleteMy SIL had to get an RX for diflucan after all that estrace and progesterone, those meds are NOT kind to the vajayjay.. Not kind at all!
ReplyDeleteNo 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!
DeleteAh, that just sounds lovely. Glad to hear that things are moving along and I hope that everything looks great on Friday. How are things going with the playoffs?
ReplyDeleteWe are a go! Lining at 9.4! We won our Play-In game, which puts us into the State tournament! Thanks for asking about softball :)
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!
I'm glad you laughed! Gotta have a sense of humor about all this :)
DeleteAmber, this is infertility. There's no such thing as TMI. (-:
ReplyDeleteLol! Thanks Em :) You are so right.
DeleteI 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 :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog Lindsey! Do you have a blog? I would love to check it out and show my support but I don't see a link.
