I started the Lupron shots this morning. I think my belly is just really used to getting stuck with needles because the shot didn't hurt one bit, even without icing it. Then again, it could have been because the migraine that I had overpowered all other pain, but that's another story. Yes, I have yet ANOTHER migraine, but I don't even want to think about it. I'm starting to wonder if the headaches are because of the birth control pills. After all, the whole reason I went off the pill five years ago was because of the migraines; I don't remember having nearly as many headaches when I was on all the meds last cycle.
E decided to wake up at 5:00am this morning and was bright and chipper as ever. I actually felt guilty for a hot second about making him go back to bed, but the headache was too much. I miss the days when I could just pick him up and bring him into bed with me, nurse him and then we'd both fall back asleep. I remember those days vividly... I miss them so much. Which is probably why I want another baby right NOW.
And speaking of wanting babies... I will fully admit that I will almost be disappointed if we don't get twins out of this mess. Yes, I will feel unbelievably blessed when this works, but I really would like to be DONE with infertility for ever and ever and in my heart I just know that I want three kids. Having twins would get the whole conceiving-again problem out of the way and it would allow the two babies to grow up with their own playmates, since E is getting too old to play with babies. It bothers me that he's going to be so much older than his siblings, but it is what it is; I can't fix it anymore than I already am.
I forgot to mention, not only did I buy a maternity dress last weekend, but I started knitting a baby sweater. My first. I'm remaining hopeful.

I was headed here to ask you about whether you thought there was a connection b/n the pill and your migraines, and saw you had the same thought. Yeah, I'll bet there is a connection. When you got prego with E, did the migraines decrease?
I LOVE that you are knitting a baby sweater. How sweet!!! Ahhhhhh!
Yes, I think I had only one or two migraines the entire time I was pregnant with E. My neurologist said that I was one of the luck 30% of people who's migraines get better with pregnancy. They don't come nearly as frequently when I'm off the pill, so I'm starting to think the pill is the main reason I've been getting them so much. Thank God only have five days of the pill left!
