Amy's Diary Entries

June 5, 2000

It's been pretty crazy around here since last week. I was in a panic because I just knew that good ole' AF would not show and I would have to delay the shots for another 10 days to take Provera. But, she certainly came on Sunday night!

It's been scary because DH and I ordered the Repronex -- a whopping $789!!!! (Which insurance does not cover!) It was such a blow to both of us. I don't know if we just thought it wouldn't be quite that much or we thought that we would never have to go this far!! I don't really know what we thought. I suppose it just put our situation into reality -- we will not get PG without this step.

Then, we still may never get PG! I don't know, we're both just so scared and confused. Anyone who has PCOS and is going through this, please write to me and tell me how you're dealing with it! The girls on the PCOS community board are so great -- they give lots of support!!

I am sorry for my down attitude this week. I think part of it is AF!! I am trying to put into words the feelings that I am having right now -- but, I just can't! All I can say is that I, we, are scared. (A GOOD scared and a WORRIED scared.) Will this be our month? How many more times can we afford this? How realistic is it to think that we will ever get PG?

I start the shots today. When we went to the RE's office to learn how to administer the shots, I figured we would use an orange or something to practice with -- nope, my thigh!!! DH was sooooooooo nervous when he stuck me. It did hurt, but he was pressing in too hard. So, needless to say, I will be giving my own shots! I think once I do it the first time, it will be OK. I go in Friday for an ultrasound and lab work -- they monitor very closely with this drug. I also go every other day after that until it's time for the IUI.

We'll see how it goes this week. I hope to hear from you! My prayers and thoughts are with each and every one of you TTC.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Thoughts!!!
