After the Storm- Mumford and Sons
"And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair."
April is the start of a new cycle...a new month to look forward to. For this month we start a new Fertility drug called Femara. It is an interesting change..but hopefully a good one. It is supposed to have less side effects..works with my estrogen levels and does not thin my uterine lining like clomide does. Along side we are also taking low dosage aspirin. Today we booked our first app for Tueday April 12th at 3pm. It is just a baseline ultrasound appointment...but its a new start. I feel we are on the other side of this one hill we kept climbing for such a long time. Maybe...just maybe..this is the drug that helps aid us on our journey of infertility. I will have to book off availability for work..which will make things alot easier for us. Hopefully this month will be as fast at the first months. The one ovary that we will be using this time..was very quick when we started doing the IUI's. We went in for one ultrasound and then the next day did the procedure...the second month was a little more difficult..alot more monitoring.
This Weds-Sun I will be taking my new fertilty drug. Let's hope it is a very smooth and low side effect cycle. It is always an interesting thing to be adding another drug to my cocktail of fertility aids. I sometimes feel like an old lady with my little pill container and my handful of drugs that I take daily.
This morning we went to Shoppers. Things are so much smoother there. I was expecting a 4 day wait for our injection of Ovidrel..but when I went and asked for the next refill, I was informed that I am early enough that it should be in tomorrow afternoon to be picked up. Walmart's Pharmacy decided to give us more trouble this month. I am slowly losing my patience with the staff there and the lack of service. I ordered my two prescriptions on Sat...knowing that they would have to order them in. Doug and I came in today to get them and they still had not applied the order...this was at 2pm..So we waited an hour...which the lady had told me they would be ready by then..got some easter shopping done for our niece and nephew. We came back the hour later to ask about the prescriptions again. They still had not even looked at my order at all. I let the girl know this is not her fault..but I am really not impressed with this pharmacy and we have had trouble with everything we have put in here..and that I need these drugs before wednesday! We had to come back to walmart later on this evening..my roomate was selling her wii system on kijiji and meeting something at walmart for the sale..so I decided to go and check on the prescription again. They had my one for my lining ready..but not the femara. Since this was a different lady in which I was speaking to I told her what had happened earlier..said I am not leaving without my perscription and I would like her to look into it for me. I said I need it before Wednesday and that this has been happening alot. She went to talk to the on pharmacist for me and he was going to get it put through for me...we were told to wait 10-15 mins and he would have it done for me. After waiting again..we got the meds.. talked to the pharmicist and were on our way.
Sometimes I believe God sends you funny little signs. I can not buy or find rainboots to save my life. My calves are too big..is one of the problems. But maybe just maybe...its a sign that the storm may be passing in our lives..in our path of infertility. I feel like I need them just to be safe..incase it rains and I have to walk to work. Could it maybe just mean we are on our way out of the storm...into nicer weather..heading down the hill..instead of the continous hard climb. Spring brings hope..flowers blooming..bird singing..perhaps hopes and grace in your soul...fears being washed away and a clear path to follow..no rainboots required.
So here we are starting a new cycle..new set of fertility drugs..new set of appointments...after the storm without wearing our rainboots!
