A whirlwind of days...

So, after the swift kick in the arse from Mary - I decided to update this thing! =)

Where to begin... lets start with last week.

I went to the ER on Thursday morning and it turns out I have a viral infection. I was trying to get out of bed when the room started spinning and my vision completely blacked out. I really don't remember much after that. I came to and tried to get up yet again. It happened time after time until I realized that something is seriously wrong! I started to panic and that made things worse. After a long ER visit, the dr decided I have viral labrynthitis which is causing the syncope episodes and vertigo. He gave me some meds to help the symptoms but can't cure the problem. It's not been almost a week since the ER visit and I'm still dizzy as ever. It's not getting any better and i'm starting to get concerned. I'm hoping he is right and it just needs to run it's course. I just know I can't miss anymore work!

I went to the RE on Friday afternoon for an ultrasound. After many days of spotting yet no AF - I thought something could be wrong or I could miss AF (like have a super short one and not start meds in time..). The nurse said that my lining looked thin and no cysts - got the go ahead to start Femara on Monday!

I started Femara yesterday and will start the gonal-f on Friday! We will have enough of our donated meds to last this cycle (thanks girl!) so we are so blessed! Our IUI will be either 11/29 or 11/30 as long as the follies grow like they should!! We will then do a booster ovridel shot to possibly help with the implanting and progesterone post IUI...since I'm a failure in those areas..lol.

Work is about the same - My boss is still a beotch but I'm dealing with her. She thought it would be good to chat it up with the staff about everything I was going through! UGH! I'm so sick of others feeling like they have the right to talk about me! It really irks me! And another nurse there told a co-worker that she was going to go to the boss because she was concerned about me... Ummm, no - Honey you aren't concerned - you are GOSSIPING! I swear, I work with a bunch of idiots! haha!

Speaking of idiots - I've had my fair share lately. I've come to the realization that as long as I'm good with myself - screw everyone else! I know who my true friends are... and the rest of those ladies who thought it would be fun to strike me down to the core- thank you! You showed me what is important in my life.. and it's definiately not stressing about that stupid site! I have a great group of friends who I will continue to be friends with way beyond 2ww and I have a great family... what more do I need. Thank you for showing me that! (See ladies, you have to see the positive in everything!!) =)

Thanks for the update!! And good for you, you are sounding so empowered these days! Hoping the dizziness goes away soon, that is the worst feeling in the world.
