The Injections Have Started!

Well I have officially started my injections, I have to do 10 units of Lupron everyday between 4 and 6 pm. I started them last night and it really wasnt bad at all I am thinking that maybe it really doesnt hurt because of the the two c-sections that I have had which has left me pretty numb from the bellbutton down to the scar. Well who knows, ask me how I am once I start the IM injections! I don't think I have had any side effects yet, but it is early but I read somewhere that the Lupron starts working as soon as you take your first dose. The only thing that I have to complain about is that it makes my stomach itch after the injection although this doesnt last very long. I have had some bb pain but I cant tell if that is the Lupron or the bcp, or maybe the combination of both. I have felt pretty crappy for the entire month very tired and just and overall emotional yuck. I am very worried about this not working and how devastating it will be to me but especially the toll it will have on my husband. This maybe why I have been feeling so much like poo, I am a worried and I'm a need to know kind of gal which can be a negative and a positive all in one. I just hope and pray this works and that God gives me the strength to make it through all of this.
On a lighter note I have ordered a laptop and am hoping that I will become a super blogger! All of my previous postings have been done on my phone which I have come to decide that I am going to go blind if I continue to use it for blogging and internet research as the fonts are super small. I have asked to have my blog posted on cyclesista in hopes to meet other wonderful and strong women going through this too. So hopefully in the near future I will have an opportunity to share my experiences with someone other than my good friend "S" who faithfully reads my blog every night even though I see her everyday at work and she gets one to one updates! How was your mental health day "S"? Hope it was as good as mine! :) Well I suppose that is enough rambling for one night!

Hi! I'm glad to hear the injections went well and that your mental health day was productive. :) I still may go shopping tomorrow if our checks get in the bank, so if you want to meet up somewhere just give me a call on my cell. :) If not, I'll see you Monday.

I'm right there with you....well, a few days behind. I'm on the BCP now and will be starting the injections next week. We are also doing IVF w/ICSI based on male factor. So, I'll be keeping an eye on how things progress for you, and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for both of us! And, now you know that someone else is reading your blog, too. :) Good luck!
