So this cycle the lupron has been kicking the you know what out of me!!! The headaches I have been experiencing have been debilitating. Needless to say I have been spending my time in a cool dark room, no sound, no light! It probably hasn't helped that we have been in the last weeks of school (Today was the last!!!) and I have been working with my son trying to help him get his grades up (he did!!!). Also Arizona heat does not help a woman who is experiencing menopausal symptoms as a result of the lupron!!!! I swear one day I am going to be one of those annoying snowbirds that lives down here only in the winter and spring months and live up north for the summer!!!!
However, today is the last day of LUPRON!!!!!!! YEAH!!!! CHEER CLAP!!!!
I started a new drug called G-CSF, of course it is an injection, got to stick with me with more needles. This is an interesting drug and is fairly new to world of IVF. It is not however, a new drug it has been used on cancer patients undergoing chemo as it helps build up their white blood cell count. For fertility uses studies have shown that it helps in building up the uterine lining, aids in implantation, and may help prevent miscarriage. Hey I'm up for it if it results in a healthy pregnancy and baby!!!! One of the side effects however is bone pain. For me it has not been so much of a pain but more of a constant ache. I feel like a little old lady shuffling around because of my aching bones!!!! Oh well what can I say but all in the name of a baby (or two 2 (; )
