I apologize for being such a bad-bad blogger. I haven't updated much and I haven't commented much either in the last few weeks. If you remember, my Grandma is visiting me and I have been so very busy with her that I hardly find time to check emails. This is one of the best times I have had in a very long time! My time on BCP has flown by and it has already been 4 days since I started Lupron (after my injection video panic :) ). As far as side effects of Lupron are concerned, I have had none... I feel a little tired, but that's about it. In one sense this (her visit) is good... because I have less time to get frustrated and anxious. She leaves next Sunday and then I start my Follistim (assuming everything goes well in the u/s & b/w). You girls are my true support system in this (hopeful) journey to motherhood and I can never really ignore you... I am constantly thinking about things I want to type up or about the fellow cycle buddies. Thank you all! I promise to be more active starting next week.
Update: I definitely spoke to soon... I can feel the Lupron in my system!
I am a couple of days ahead of you on the Lup...I had zero side effects until WHAM! (it's not just a cool band from the 80's) I was hit with some grade A body aches. I feel like I just ran a marathon, most of the time. I am heading back to acupuncture tomorrow to work it out, and thinking about massages later this week. Just to warn you, the side effects can creep up.
ReplyDeleteI am glad for you that the s/e are minimal so far. I hope that continues! Just remember that everyone reacts a little differently to the drugs. Maybe you will be blessed with minimal s/e throughout the whole IVF!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the Lupron isn't giving you too much grief. Some people are lucky like that! :) I am so excited about your cycle... it goes so quickly, doesn't it? I remember thinking, "I have been waiting for this for months, and I am already half way done?"
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet comment on my blog!
I hope the lupron side effects stay on the quiet side for you. I can't beleive you're so far ino this cycle, I'm glad the time has flown for you. Enjoy visiting with your grandma!
ReplyDeleteStopping by because I saw in your comment on My Endo Journey about your IVF. Good luck. Hubby and I are starting in early fall.
