Today was the third day of my injections and I'm happy to report, my hubby finally got to do the honors instead of me...it's good to be home!
I'm not so sure how I feel about this medication though...some women have said they experienced a "lupron fog" that didn't lift until they completed the medication, they also referred to it as the devil. My nurse said it would make me feel PMS times 10, not looking forward to that at all. I've been waiting for "something" to happen, but now I'm not sure if I've just talked myself into thinking I'm having side effects or if they are real (but I think it's real). I've had 2 injections in my right leg and on the second day my leg felt achy. So today I used the left leg, but now they both are achy. It feels like growing pains in my upper leg extending into my hips. No matter how much I stretch it won't go away. I've put in a question to my resident gurus (thebump.com community of women struggling with infertility) and I'm waiting to hear back if they've experienced this too. I'm also completely bloated, so bloated I look pregnant (seriously almost debated taking a pregnancy test even though I know that's not possible - I never give up hope). I hate feeling this way! Then I had to deal with more insurance issues and our wedding album debacle.... I need a pick-me-up ASAP. It also doesn't help that my hubby has taken up doing everything possible to make us more money and he will be married to his computer for the next...who knows how long. So tonight, I'll be going to bed alone...sad. I'm not complaining (or am I), I'm so proud of him and tomorrow night I'll be joining in the study session. He is wonderful, just more wonderful when I can snuggle him :0)
I guess today was just one of those days that its easier to cry than to hold it all in...but I am holding onto our future and will stay strong. Just when I was feeling helpless, one of my best friends sent me this reminder (and she had no clue how much I needed it):
Isaiah 40:31 - But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Hmmm, maybe the PMS is kicking in....
