Starting Lupron Injections

By

We received our tentative schedule and instruction to start Lupron injections last night. After my IUI and IVF cycles the needles do not really scare me anymore. This was only 10 units with a teeny tiny needle. There are different options on where to stick but I like to do my stomach. I will switch sides each night. My husband gets the needle and dosage ready, then I ice and do the injection myself. It was hardly a pinch but I did have trouble sleeping last night. That could just be stress about the whole process. I will follow up if it continues. I was a little dizzy this morning but nothing too bad and it didn’t last long. I’ve read side effects can be anything from weight gain, depression, and exhaustion so I am really looking forward to that! :-/  I am still taking Wellbutrin for now so hopefully that helps.

    Two Week Wait Diet I want to start this by saying, there is no magic superfood or regimen for this kind of thing! I trust this worked for us because it was the Lord’s timing and direction for our lives. This to say I can at least be a good steward of my womb and…
