BCP is not my friend!

It has been more than 7 years since the last time I was on The Pill. I had forgotten how strongly I dislike it. It makes me nauseous, it gives me severe headaches, my boobs hurt, I have gained 7lbs – yes I said 7 lbs in 22 days – and to top it all off it makes me whiney and depressed and grumpy. Is this just me? Am I the only freak in the world that cannot take The Pill. When I was telling my sister about all of this she looked at me like I was making it up. I am not making this up. It feels like torture. And my poor husband; I forgot the worst side effect of all! It completely takes away my libido. I mean non-existent. So, not only does he have to deal with me being an emotional wreck and a witch but he ain’t get any either. Poor, poor man!

In other news; I got my giant box of meds on Friday. We took it in the kitchen and spread it all out on the table. There is a ridiculous number of needles in there. M looked at me with a look of complete fear on his face and said “we are really doing this, huh?” Poor guy is not looking forward to sticking me with needles multiple times a day. I can’t blame him either. I am not really looking forward to it myself. But it will all me worth it.

I have my baseline U/S on Friday and then Saturday will start stims. I am so ready to do this already. I am just so anxious waiting.
