Norethi.ndrone makes me nauseous. Incredibly nauseous, all day long. I almost made me throwing up on the bus the most memorable part of the zoo field trip today. A completely out-of-touch co-worker (who is aware of the IVF) told me with a smile, "welcome to being pregnant." Um, yeah. So I'm not, remember? And I don't have the guarantee of a baby at the end of this nausea. It really helped sink in the month of side effects I have ahead of me too. Oh boy.
Thank goodness school is almost over. I am ready to focus on me and this process- instead of pushing it aside to be a good teacher.
T-minus 22 hours until shot time!
Please also pray for my dear friend Carli and her husband Derek, who got a BFN on IVF #2 today. I am heartbroken for them and praying for their healing through this extremely difficult time.

Umm, is your coworker seriously that oblivious or just tragically stupid?! WTF?! I'm sorry you had to deal with nausea on top of moronic comments.
I will be praying for Carli and Derek. My heart aches for them too.
Thanks for your comment! Wow, I never even thought about what the side effects might be from the fertility meds. I hope you start feeling better soon. I'll be praying for Carli and Derek too. That is so sad.
I'm really sorry to hear about your friend, Carli, and her husband's results. We too had our beta results yesterday. And we were very fortunate (BFP, beta = 286).
One of my first reactions was extreme thankfulness for our good fortune but also a sense of being humbled by this outcome. I wondered: why we were so lucky when others are not? I really haven't been able to come up with any answers in the past 18 hours.
I hope things work out as well for both Carli (on her frozen cycle) and you very soon.
My wife and I are cheering for you!
Oh, yes- the fun nausea that goes along with IF meds. I remember always feeling nauseous, bloated, and so incredibly moody during my injections. However, it was well worth it in the end for me and I pray that it will be for you too.
And oh geez about your co-worker. When will women learn that you do not assume someone else is pregnant until they're going into labor?!
Good luck as you move forward. I am excited to follow along with you.
Oh, I remember those side effects. :( I hope things get better. I'm thinking of you!!
Hi Katie - I don't think I could have said it much better than Melissa did. How can people be so out of touch with reality? I am so sorry for the side effects of the meds so far. Some of them are not that bad. I think the worst ones for me were the after transfer meds...
Also, thank you for asking your blog followers to pray for Derek and I. Have I told you lately how wonderful you are as a fried? Love you...
