The Fun Begins!

Sunday morning was my last time breastfeeding Hadley. I am in PAIN! It's really not unbearable or anything, but it hurts more than I expected. I am waiting for a big hormone crash, but I haven't had anything so far. I read that depression can hit once you stop producing, but emotionally I feel fine.

Mon and Tues mornings were rough with her - she really wanted to nurse and was not happy that Dad fed her breakfast instead. She did better Weds morning so I thought she was already over it. Then today I have been home with her all day and she is quite cranky. She has a cold/cough/runny nose, and I think she wants to nurse to feel better or something, because she has not been her usual happy self. I am sure that by the time her cold is gone she will have forgotten about wanting to nurse.

As far the fertility plan goes, I started 500 mg of Metformin on Mon. I take that daily for 2 weeks, then increase to 1000 mg a day for 2 weeks, then increase to 1500 mg. I already notice my stomach is getting messed up. Looser stools - not much fun, but worth it once your pregnant!

If I don't cycle by Jan 27, 2008, they will induce it. At least now I have a date to focus on. Dates and plans don't stick very often in the land of infertility, but at least they distract me from the thought of never getting pregnant again.
