Reasons #5976--#5982 of why infertility sucks

I have started the drugs for this month to try to get my body to ovulate. I shredded the list of side effects so that I wouldn't look at it. That way my mind wouldn't SEE what could actually happen. However, being old to this game I already knew what was coming. However, the doctor DOUBLED my dosage this time after a year hiatus from fertility drugs. Good times. So here are a few of the things that my body is going through.

• Hot Flashes. This one is especially great in August when it is ALREADY hot outside.
• Vomiting: There is nothing glamorous about vomiting.
• Nausea: If you're not ACTUALLY throwing up, you get it's cousin- which makes you want the vomiting to come back. At least the nausea goes away for a little while.
• Headaches: These are especially fun... but not even vomiting makes them go away.
• Raging Hormones: If you thought PMS was bad, wait until you have to take these bad boys. Nothing says love like yelling, crying, barfing and did I mention yelling and crying?
• Fatigue: You would think that this isn't a very bad one, but when you have to pull yourself across the kitchen floor in order to get into the other room, you know you have a problem. I think I have slept for 43 of the last 48 hours. Seriously. My fingers are hurting having to type so much.
• Knowing that I'll have to do it again next month if it doesn't work this month: This is the hardest one of all. I would breeze through all the rest of this crap if I knew it was going to work. Still, I'm keeping the faith and saying my sincerest prayers to get me through this ONE MORE TIME. Hopefully one LAST time.

So, until I feel better (which is hopefully Friday) I will be lying in bed, with my stainless steel throw up pan (my new BFF) by my side.
