So I guess Iβm 5weeks this weekend. Nothing will be real until I see a heartbeat, I donβt have that appt scheduled yet, but my first ultrasound is this Tuesday to see if thereβs a sac, so Iβm definitely nervous, as this is the farthest Iβve gotten now, and I can only hope the maxed autoimmune protocol is enough, as the original autoimmune protocol wasnβt. Iβm not loving the steroid side effects at this dose, I pretty much feel like Iβm on crack, and am up for a few hours in the middle of the night every night, and get ravenous food cravings. (It felt like this on a high dose for something else 15 years ago). But hey- if it works, I only have two more months of it (I think). The moonface is annoying too but Iβm gonna gain weight regardless so who cares. The progesterone side effects Iβm used to. Iβve been having meds side effects for the last two years so the idea that it could actually be for something other than a failed cycle is pretty cool.There are so many retrievals and transfers coming up this week it seems, Iβm watching and rooting everybody on, and I definitely feel your pain if youβre dealing with a delay or a let-down right now.πππ
