Medications

Here is a list of all of the medications that I have to take during the month of May. Most of these meds are injections and need to be taken twice a day, 7am and 7pm. Most of the side effects are mood changes, hot flashes, bone aches, and nausea, just to name a few. I keep reminding myself that its good that I feel these side effects that means that the medications are working, and we are one step closer to starting our family!
