Joining You

Hi all .. I thought I would drop in on the May forum. I was solidly in April and have now had THREE delays to start Stims. Apparently my E2 wants to just keep climbing regardless of the amount of Lupron I shoot up. Accordingly, I started Lupron weeks ago and won't probably start stims until around May 1st. Accordingly .. here I am .. I'm on 7days of the pill now, going in for another baseline around the 1st. Looks like there is a lot of activity here. I pray May is a the month of Spring and Luck. GO MAY.

Tara.

Hey guys,
Just checking in on everyone and hoping you're all having a great weekend.

We just discovered our basement is flooding with the 2.3 inches of rain we got yesterday. That sucks so bad...we store a lot of stuff in our basement and are trying to move it out of there. Wish us luck!

Elizabeth~ what is the electro AP like??? I am imagining it to be like a sewing machine!!!! LOL but I'm sure it's not!?!? Have you been bleeding with regular AP??? I have only had a few sessions, but no blood (yet??).

Congrats on joining the Lupron club next week! It's a fun one. JK. But SOOO worth it!

Hey Kelly!
Thanks for sharing the Hobby Lobby coupon - I had no idea!!! Maybe I can get DH to go w/ tomorrow!

Tara....Sorry to hear about all your delays. I hope things start going better for you. May will be a good month!

Kelly......Sorry to hear about your basement flooding. If it's not one thing it's another! Hang in there.

I took my last bcp last night and will be waiting for AF. I have a baseline u/s on Monday.

This maybe a TMI question, but I am on BCP and have not started lupron yet, and my "GIRLS" are killin' me. Is that a side effect of BCP? I have not taken BCP in at least 8 years, I do not remember this being a side effect!!

Oh my gosh! I am right there with you. I feel like I am carrying around two bowling balls on my chest. And for some reason my husband has been all grabby with them lately. I have threatened his life on more than one occasion this week. I have been on bcp for a week and a half. I start lupron on Wednesday.
