History In Brief (Maybe Not So Brief)
- Early 2002: Diagnosed with anovulatory PCOS.
- November 2002: Married wondermous husband. Immediately started TTC.
- Much of 2003: OB/GYN insisted that the only reason I couldn't get pregnant was that I was overweight. Her answer? Excercise and "just relax."
- 2004: OB/GYN concedes that maybe "just relaxing" isn't the answer. Prescribes Clomid, and five uesless Clomid cycles follow.
- October 2004: Our foster son, J, becomes a part of our family.
- August 2005: Started seeing RE; BW, US, HSG (patent tubes, uterus good, etc.), everything checks out as expected - no MFI, I have anovulatory PCOS. Shocker.
- February 2006: IUI #1 failed.
- March 2006: IUI #2 failed.
- June 2006: IUI #3 failed.
- July 2006: IUI #4 (supposedly the "final" one). Thought it failed b/c I started bleeding before my beta was due, but...
- August 2006: Hey that failed IUI worked! You're pregnant!
- October 9, 2006: Miscarriage at 12 weeks, one day gestation. Subsequent D&C.
- January 2007: IUI #5 Fails
- February 2007: IUI #6 Expected to fail - ridiculously bad cycle in which everything went wrong. BFP.
- March 2007: Crazy Rollercoaster - first US shows 2 gestational sacs (no HBs). 2nd US shows 3 sacs (no HBs). 3rd US shows 1 HB, 2 smaller sacs. 4th ultrasound shows 3 HBs.
- September 19, 2007: Triplets born.
- October 13, 2007: Triplets released from NICU
- September 2008: Triplets turn 1. Definitely time to start TTC again. Yes, I'm certifiable.
- November 2008: Consult with RE at The Hatchery. RE has never done eSET, would prefer 2 embryo transfer. Scary. Do prelim. BW, etc. Do HSG (left tube blocked). Stop BFing. Start BCPs for IVF cycle.
- December 2008: Met with Perinatologist; received dire warnings - no twin pregnancy allowed for me. eSET is only option at this point.
- Jan 2009: Consult with Ye Olde Fertility Clinic. Agree to pursue IVF with eSET only to avoid HOM repeat.
- Jan/Feb 2009: IVF#1: 10 retrieved, 9 Fertilized, eSET 6dt, Nothing to freeze, BFN
- March 2009: IVF #2 ... Canceled. Ovulated on my own while on Lupron. Stupid body.
- April 2009: IVF#2 (Take 2) ... Cancelled due to poor response. Stupid Body.
- May/June 2009: IVF#2 (Take 3)... 14 Retrieved, 8 fertilized, once again they looked like crap. Transferred one crappy looking morula on Day 5. Nothing left to freeze. Jury's still out on the beta results. I'm not holding my breath.

Lupron does make me tired! Just realized you are a fellow Marylander! Cool Beans...hope you get a restful night in!
I don't remember Lupron making me tired. I KNOW having 3 toddlers is making me exhausted. You are superwoman to be cycling with 4 kids and a full time job.
Yes.
I'm not on Lupron but on same CD as you (CD4 today) and my symptoms are directly mirroring yours. I think my head is splitting in half and doubt I'll stay awake for dinner. Bleh. I don't know how you manage so well.
Heck, yeah. And the stims haven't been much better. The good news is that my insomnia seems to be gone for the moment!
When I was on Lupron, I was not only a complete psycho, but I was a tired, exhausted, grumpy full time nap taker! Hang in there!
