More than I thought

The more women I talk to, the less scary this whole process becomes. I am still sad about having to wait a year to ttc but I know that this may be what I need to get things healthy and be able to conceive when the therapy is over. The women that I have talked to say the worst part is the hot flashes and mood changes. I can deal with that if it means that we will have a better chance at having a child. I have spoken to 4 women that have been on the therapy and they all said the benefits out way the side effects...and you just have to keep thinking about the reason you are doing this...to bring a new life into this world.

I got my bloodwork done yesterday...progesterone, estrodial, and hcg. I picked up the lupron injection on Thursday, it is the 3 month injection 11.25mg. I am kind of nervous about having the 3 month because the drug will be in my system for 3 months and not month to month. I wish I would have known about the month to month when I was in the dr's office so I could have asked about it. Since this shot is $1700.00 I don't think my insurance will allow me to change my mind now. I will just have to be vigilant about my symptoms so they don't reach anything severe.

I have also started my vitamin D booster. Took the first one on Thursday and I am taking calcium and pre-natals...so if my levels don't go up I there most be something crazy wrong.

I have decided I am going to train for the Shamrock Marathon that will be March 2010. Part of this getting my health in order is going to include getting my fitness back. I think the running will keep my spirits up also, runner's high might be able to counteract the lows of the therapy. I have to wait 6 weeks from the time of my surgery to start running again so the training will start July 22. I am going to make a training schedule and I might be able to convince a friend to join me. My brother has already signed up for the marathon so it will be a family affair at least.

I am going to work on my chair today that I am re-doing with the help of my mom and Nathan. About a year again a neighbor that is redoing there old home put two old chairs out on their porch and I asked if they were trying to get rid of them and they said yes...so I took them. I tore apart the chairs down to their wood skeletons when I got the chairs and they have been sitting on our side porch since then. Well my mom and I finally decided to get them done and we are on our way.
