Thank you. You don't know how badly I needed a little optimism right
now. It seems every morning I am either in tears or close to it because
I am so discouraged. I try to keep telling myself that if it helps me
to get pregnant it will all be worth it, but that doesn't help when my
clothes don't fit.
I am glad this is only a 6 month treatment. I don't think I would do it
again. I would take a dozen laperoscopies over the last 3 months of
Lupron!
Thanks again. I really needed to hear from someone who understands.
