Lupron shots...one week down!!

So I went in for my baseline ultrasound and injection training on the 23rd. They gave me the go ahead to begin Lupron on the 25th. It has been exactly one week of shots and so far so good.

 

 

The needles are relatively small and it feels like a small pinch. I read about all of the side effects that you can have while on Lupron and was a little freaked out about the long list. However of all the side effects I have only experienced hot flashes and minor headaches. The hot flashes are bearable considering its January but in Southern California especially in the Inland Empire we don't have much of a winter. Thank goodness it has cooled down these last two days because I have been burning up.

 

I finally received my lovely calendar which states that we have a tentative transfer date scheduled for March 7th. Unfortunately it happens to be the exact same day one of my best friends is getting married. I spoke with the IVF clinic and they said that they will know by the last week of February exactly when the transfer will be. I am crossing my fingers it will be on the 8th so that I am able to go celebrate this very special occasion with friends.

 

 

So I keep looking over my calendar to make sure I am doing exactly what I was asked to do. I have to constantly remind myself to slow down and not feel overwhelmed.

 

I am supposed to start delestrogen on the 13th of this month and I am looking into the possible side effects. Anyone have any severe reactions to the medication? I always want to be prepared and at least have an idea of what to expect.

 

I am so excited to say that my IPs will be able to make it to the transfer and that we will get to bond with them during that time. I know they are so excited and I seriously cant wait to meet them in person. I feel like March will be here in no time and I am trying to slow down and enjoy as much of my daily life as possible.

 

On that note is it too early to decorate for Valentine's Day? My BF thinks I am crazy but I believe in making a big deal even out of the most ridiculous holidays(including Valentines and St Patrick's Day). I want my daughter to always have a good time and we sure do love our crafts.
