Hollye,
Don't give up hope for a child if that is what you really want. I endured
lupron shots and MANY other injections for my infertility. It took us six
years to get pregnant and it was all worth it. I'm not saying you shouldn't
complain, this sight is great for that, and Lupron has really been a
nightmare for me as well. I'm on it at the moment for my reoccurring Endo.
I truly understand what an emotional roller coaster is like on this stuff.
Hang in there, is hope. My beautiful son is six years old and still takes my
breath away at the sight of him. Time to pick him up from school. I wish
you all the luck in the world.
Pam
