Hi Everyone. I went through 12 days of fertility injections in my stomach from once a day to 3 times a day at the end. Yesterday Dr. Jain at Santa Monica Fertility successfully extracted 11 follicles and froze 10 of my eggs. Chemo has a high risk of causing infertility because the treatments are so toxic it sometimes kills the eggs and makes women infertile. I was an emotional wreck through this with hot flashes and crying and all that fun stuff but it seemed like when I was questioning why I was doing this I would see a cute little baby somewhere while i was out and they would smile at me and it let me know it was all worth it. That's all i needed. Now my stomach is bloated and I'm in pain but that will subside soon enough. Chemo in a week. I'm cutting my hair over the weekend. I don't want to cut it off.
You are an amazing person!
