Minor Side Effects...

Happy Easter!!

My mother says my side effect to the Lupron could be a good thing, why you ask? Because I'm nauseous and barely have an appetite. I went out last night for a 60th birthday bash and it was completely buffet. I'm talking ribs, turkey and prime rib carving station, seafood medly, fried chicken, fried rice, rice & peas, oxtail, crudite', breads, cheeses, stir fried veggies...and more. And I barely wanted any!! Me not eat fried chicken?? C'mon! And I really tried too, put the old college try and only ended up making myself sick. Then it's now Easter Sunday, mom made a big pan of baked mac & cheese, my aunt made a huge turkey, more rice & peas, callaloo, plantain, etc. I loaded my plate but couldn't follow through, nausea strikes again! Now back to mom's comment, if this keeps up I will lose the weight...ugh! But hey that's a positive, right? =)

Scared out of my gord!!

I wanted to seriously run out of my house screaming when the medication package arrived. It was in a box the size of 15inch tv screen. The first thing I had to do was immediately put the follistim medication in fridge. Then I looked to see if I had everything else: the follistim pen, the menapur, the HCG, the progesterone, the lupron, and......the GABILLION SYRINGES!!! I am so not exaggerating. When DH came home and saw the contents of the box, his exact words, "You sure you want to go through all of this pain?!!" So loving, I know! Anyway, he hugged me for a really long time after I stood there dumb struck, and finally said something a little more sensitive, "We will get through this." Much better right?

I am in hyperdrive now awaiting our injection class, tomorrow at 3:30. I also have a saline sonogram tomorrow morning, where I plan to ask them if I'm supposed to bring anything. So stay tuned...
