As mentioned in my previous entry on resolutions, one of ours is to make this the year of the baby. We've had a long, frustrating go at trying to become parents for the last two years with no luck. We started seeing a specialist in the fall (REACH, which is an absolutely wonderful place) and I just had surgery for endometriosis on December 30th as the next step in the process.
My follow-up was yesterday and the doctor elected to put me on Letrozole for the next few months. Letrozole is used as a chemo drug for breast cancer patients, but has a successful off-market use for fertility. Just after my Letrozole cycle each month, I will also have to give myself a shot of Ovidrel in the tummy. I'm not terrible excited about that part... I don't mind taking shots at all, but I'm not thrilled about having to give one to myself. The good news about both of these is that they have little to no side effects. After having done numerous cycles of Clomid and the side effects that came with that (weight gain, mood swings/having to constantly apologize to hubby, etc.), I'm excited to give these two a try.
