..Day 5..

Here I am at Day 5 already. WOW! I still can't believe I'm actually doing all of this. I'm still doing well. I spoke with my Dr yesterday about the bleeding I was having and she said that it was normal as long as I'm not soaking a pad every hour. Lovely thing about having Endometriosis is it is very painful to wear Tampons. For years I could never understand why they hurt so bad. Ever since my first IVF cycle I've had to use pads most of the time...I hate them but they feel so much better and I'm not in as much pain. I'm only spotting now, so hopefully it stays like this and it goes away.

My next Lupron shot is 5/18/10. So far the side effects aren't that bad. I'm just really tired. Just praying it's doing what it's suppose to be doing. Still taking BCPs and I don't seem to be having any issues which is great.

Day 5 I did well. I ate breakfast again, got coffee from Sbux intending to get DECAF w/WHOLE MILK and got regular I was so distracted. I was so annoyed that I did this. Then, my sweet tooth was out-of-control yesterday! I normally do pretty well for sitting at a desk 8 hours a day with the exceptional food cravings once a month. Now that I'm not having periods I have no idea where the sweets craving is coming from. It doesn't help that the ladies I work with have a constant stash of candy laying around. It's so tempting.

I had another great walk. I've never enjoyed working out or looked forward to it. It's strange for me to be excited to get home from work and eat dinner so I can go walk. It really helps that our neighborhood is full of beautiful trees.

I'm still having lots of pressure down yonder and my Dr says not to worry. Obviously if the pain gets too bad to handle, then it's something to be concerned about. I hope it goes away and stays away this time.

6 days closer to start our journey towards parenthood! I'm so ready and so excited!=)

I have to get another walk in tonight because tomorrow and Friday my father-n-law will be in town to help us move my mother-n-law so there won't be much time for exercise. Hopefully Sunday after Mother's Day festivities I can squeeze one in.

Off to eat my morning snack.

Enjoy this beautiful day and don't work too hard!
