Today marked the 4th day of lupron injections and I must say that all in all, it's going pretty well. The needle for these injections is much smaller than the one I was using for HCG, so I can't complain there. Plus, it's much easier to inject in your stomach rather than trying to reach your own butt cheek.
I'm sure I looked pretty funny in months past when I was trying to give my self those HCG triggers. Nothing like leaning against a door with your pants down trying remember to relax before you plunge a giant needle into your a$$.
The only negative that I have seen so far with this drug is the mood swings. Holy crap, the mood swings!! I'm pretty sure that the people I work with thought I had turned into a crazy person on Friday. Not only did I (kind of) yell at someone, but I continued to allow myself to get so worked up that I was sweating. Well actually, the sweating could have been a side effect of the lupron also, but for now I'm just thinking it was because I was an emotional mess. If I wasn't feeling ticked off, I was on the verge of tears.
The worst part is knowing that you are acting irrationally and there is nothing you can do about it. I think that's where the frustration and weepiness comes in to play. Honestly, I don't want to be a b!tch. ;)
Later on Friday, I was definitely being a real peach to Brad. Once again, I ended up going off about nothing. I can't even remember what set me off. At least he is trying to be understanding. Let's see how long that last for though. I imagine that he can only take so much until he gets upset with my attitude problem. :)
Tomorrow I go for my suppression check and then I'll go back the following monday for baseline when I will hopefully start stims. I just hope that my body is responding (and will continue to respond) correctly to all the meds.
It would be fantastic to finally reach our goal.
