Oh, what to think, what to think...

I just love this waiting... waiting and wondering... wondering and waiting...

I am using Progesterone pills which, in essence, makes you feel like you are pregnant. Not that I would know, having never been pregnant myself, but that is how many people describe them. I am beyond exhausted, some headaches, a bit of nausea (although that might be the burst of butterflies I get every now and then... you know, because of all the waiting and wondering).

It's been helpful to be on the Progesterone because it forces me not to overanalyize every little symptom. It is obvious I am having symptoms, but it can all be attributable to the hormone. To think it could be something else for too long is a dangerous game. ;)

Praying that the symptoms aren't too hard on you, and that you'll be well entertained/distracted until results day! I know how much that 2ww just feeds on your brain... pray that isn't the case for you this time around.

Hoping that this will be the one for you!!

I'm praying for you. I know it must be sooo hard not to let yourself get excited about the symptoms you are feeling. It's exciting that your body is at least responding to the treatments. I hope this is your month, you deserve to be a mom and I know you will love that child so much!

By the way, thanks for posting the cost of everything. I know sometimes people like to keep that information private, but I really appreciate you keeping track of that for everyone. Does your insurance cover any portion of the treatments? We are thinking about starting everything up again at the beginning of the year so it helps to anticipate how much we should save.

Hang in there and good luck with everything! I hope all the hormones aren't making you crazy!

No, our insurance doesn't cover the treatments. :( But, on the bright side, they did cover the Prometrium (Progesterone Supplements) this time, so we only paid $35, instead of $300 like last time.

FAITH IN GOD MEANS HAVING FAITH IN HIS TIMING.
