I am actually surprised. The Metformin is not nearly as horrible as I remember it being when I took it back in 2006. I started this time at a lower dosage I think…. And will slowly work my way up. I didn’t feel all that great at the beginning of the week… and did end up going home early from work on Monday because I was sicker than a dog…. But I have been ok since then. Monday I learned a valuable lesson about Metformin…. It does not mix with greasy food. So lesson learned… no more greasy food. In fact I remembered how bad it was Monday that I made sure yesterday to pass on the cheeseburger I was craving and just get a taco salad. So I guess Metformin will force me to cut out the greasy foods in my diet. Either way I have felt fine yesterday and today. Tomorrow I get to up my dosage so I am hoping I won’t be too sick… and that I will get use to it again in a few days.
Other than that, not much is going on in the IVF world. I will start taking Birth Control in probably a week and a half. That will be interesting. I haven’t really ever taken birth control (unless you count back in 2002 when I was on it for a week before quitting). As you can tell, I have a history of quitting meds that I don’t care for. I usually don’t give them much of a chance. I cannot and will not do that with the IVF meds! This is not stuff to take lightly. So I am determined that I will suffer through every medication they throw my way, no matter how sick or moody it may make me!
I have been thinking about babies lately. I have suppressed the thought for so long, but I actually allowed myself to think of it. I am torn though about how smart it is to get my hopes up. I know I will be crushed if IVF doesn’t work, but at the same time I believe in the power of positive thinking…. So I want to be positive in thinking that I will have a baby in hopes that it will help the IVF actually work. I just know it may very well come at a price if I get that horrible minus sign on the pee stick! I did go as far as to think about the names I want. I have the perfect names picked out. I now just have to convince Mike of how great of names they really are. He is not even close to the stage of wanting to discuss baby names yet. So I will just keep thinking about them until he is ready to hear them. Plus it may give me time to scheme up ways to convince him of how perfect the names really are. J
Twins…. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind having twins. Mike said we would be done having kids if we had twins. I think I would be ok with that simply because the thought of going thru IVF more than once scares me. Plus, it would be nice to get two babies for the price of one. Although I do know there are extra risks involved. So I guess we will just see how it all plays out. Honetsly, I would be ok to even just get one baby.
Onto other news…. Fish pond #2 is almost done. We have it down and filled and the fish and plants all moved over to their new home. We also got the waterfall going, the lights semi setup, and the pond spitter going. Now we just have to finish landscaping around it. I am so excited! This pond is much better than the last one! It is 3 feet deep so the fish will for sure be fine to winter over in the pond. Plus it is nice being able to have the pond filled almost to the top with water. So this will be a good thing. There is also a 15 year warranty on this liner so it shouldn’t leak any day soon *knocks on wood*. I went out and checked on the fish last night and they were happily swimming all over the place. They have twice the room… I think they almost love the pond as much as I do!
Anyways… that’s it for me. Just keeping busy with the pond stuff… oh and my car is almost ready to be painted. We are waiting for the painter to be ready for it which should be the middle of august. That will be exciting seeing that done. So yeah hopefully between the car and pond I will stay busy for the next few months till it is IVF time. Guess we will see!
