Day two

of taking 4 Estradiol pills. Holy cow! I don't know if I can accurately describe how it feels. I'm sick to my stomach in the morning. I would say it's like morning sickness, but since I've never been pregnant/had morning sickenss I don't know if I would be accurate. The good news is that this liquid anti-nausea medication helps tons. It's generic, and tastes like cherries. I found it at Kroger and Walgreens (in case anyone is looking). The rest of the time I feel very fuzzy. I feel like I'm talking in slow motion and I have a difficult time stringing sentences together. This is not very conducive to driving to work or actually getting any work done. It's kinda like being stoned, but not as fun (not that I would really remember, it's been so long). Anyway, I called the doctor and said that I wasn't trying to be a pain in the ass, but there was no way I was going to be able to take 8 a day if 4 was already making me stupid. So, now I wait to see what they tell me. All in all it's not been terrible...not fun, but not terrible. I don't want anyone to think I'm complaining, because I know many women really suffer from the negative side effects. All I know is that the women who have put themselves through this process time after time, deserve an award. I know how much I want a baby, and I don't know how many times I would be able to make it through this process. Not that I don't want to do this as many times as it takes, because I would. But I don't know that mentally and physically I'll be able to hang through 4,5,6 of these. I don't know if we will be blessed enough to have this work the first time. I'm sure it happens to some people, and I'm trying to stay positive. Will keep you posted.

P.S. My spelling sucks on a good day, so coupled with the meds, there's not much hope that I'm going to spell the big words correctly.
