Hi Annie,

Thanks for your question. The medication wasn't too bad, although the Lupron made me loopy ... and I would cry on the drop of a hat. Very emotional. You asked me if it was all worth it? YES, after seeing that little precious bundle of joy at the age of 3 months old last month. I think it was so well worth it. In fact, I may be doing it again to give her a little brother or sister.

I hope this helps.
