Hot Flashes

Well I really thought I was going to be getting a period.
The tell tale lite colored spotting happened ..... usually after that, I get a period.  So I rushed out and picked up the 5 days worth of needles and shots.  To much to my dismay, no period.  There we were up at Loon Lake and i started hot flashing 2 days ago.
Great.
This is just not going to happen for us.  I am very sad.  Off I go to the shed.

FSH 13.7

Well - some good news came upon us from our last visit to the Ovary doctor.  He was pleasantly surprised by my test results from the day 3 FSH blood work.
My score was 13.7  which is totally normal for a 42 year old. Not like the 31 FSH that came out of my other blood test.  Yikes
So from that we have determined, I have one ovary that is old.  I mean shut the fuck up old.  the other one ..... well it is holding in there at 42.  It still wants to do its job and it hopes to keep up for awhile yet.
So forward we go!  yes Lyle and I are going for it.
Yup - it is not the smartest thing ever, but it is what it is and we are doing it.
I am now waiting for a period.  Yippee -   and then on day 3, i start the injections.
yes, thats right, injections.  Me.  I nearly passed out when the nurse mentioned it.  Yup - injections.  right in my belly fat.   Good thing I have lots of that -
then we hope that I produce eggs that are viable.  then if all is healthy, i get the turkey baster injection.
Yes it is money to do it.  Tons of appointments coming up.  and if, that is still a big if,  we end up pregnant ..........OMGosh . we are so not prepared.  but guess what?  We are doing it and being totally stupid about it.  We are not telling our families that we are doing it.  If it happens we are gonna be like - Ooops!  As neither of us feel there will be much if any support from my family especially.
It was just nice to have good news for once.
