I am a 29 year old woman married to my best friend and love of my life. My husband is 39 and has been diagnosed w/ Male Factor Infertility. I have a diminished ovarian reserve (FSH levels 11.9 & 7.8 ). We have tried IUI's and are now on the path to IVF w/ ICSI. Our third attempt lead us to where we are now. We are now blessed with our miracle son. This is our journey.

Addicted...


My name is A and I am addicted to injections...

For the first time in this crazy rollercoaster there is something we can actually do. This thought amazes me to the point that I want to come home and get another shot. I feel so excited about actually having a real chance at conceiving. Any time we tried before, the odds were so low. Now it feels like we have somewhat of a leveled playing field.

I am going into this very realistically--even if the 1st time doesn't work (or 2nd, or 3rd...) I am so incredibly happy to actually be doing something constructive. We are aiding the process in some way.

I am LOVING the morning injections. We are both actually giddy afterwards. I know, crazy!!!

Reactions so far: I get hot flashes for about 20 minutes after the shot but other than that it's been a piece of cake. The needle is tiny and all I feel is a pinch. Regardless of the needle size and level of pain...we are determined to do whatever it takes.

Counting the hours till I can aid this process again! Come on Lu*pron!!!

    I really hope you are successful straight away xxx
