Last night I had the worst migraine I have had in years. I was up until after 3 in the morning last night. I seriously considered having Kelly take me up to the ER to get a shot of Demerol. I used to get migraines so bad that I would have to go to ER but haven’t had one that severe until last night. It was so awful. I have been resting in bed half of today with ice packs on my head. I finally ate something a little while ago. When I get migraines I can’t eat for fear of vomiting. They make me really ill.
I was supposed to take the birth control pills for two more days. But, when I woke up this morning the thought of taking another pill made me ill. I always get really bad migraines when I am on the pill which is why I have never taken it. I really don’t know how other women take it and how it doesn’t bother them or why I am so sensitive to them. I called the nurse up this morning and asked if I could please stop taking them. She said that would be fine. YAH! You have no idea what a relief that is for me. If for some reason this cycle gets canceled I am not taking them again. I will just ask them if I can wait longer or do something else. I just don’t want to be sick like that again.
So tomorrow I go in for an ultrasound. They need to make sure my lining is thinner. Please cross your fingers that my lining looks better than last time. I am so nervous my cycle is going to be canceled again. I don’t know what happens next. I am not sure if I have to wait for my period to start – I don’t think I do but I am just not sure – or if I will just get to start the meds. I am really hoping I can start taking the meds this weekend. I will update you guys tomorrow.
I added my story to my signature on JM and also am updating what is going on there. I wanted to put my story in my sig because a lot of people see my kids and just don’t understand why we are doing IVF. We started trying to conceive in August 07 so we have been trying for over 2 years now. I am 36 and I know that my chances of success with IVF will go down the longer I wait so I just want to get the ball rolling so we can have our last little moo. Plus, I thought that sharing my story might help another lady dealing with secondary infertility. I feel grateful for JM. There are other ladies on the secondary infertility board with bigger families and they make me feel so much better. They have all been very supportive of me as have the ladies on our medical assistance board. It means a lot to me. I hope you will send some extra moo dust my way.
