I had my first injection of Lupron on March 4th. I did not have any side effects other than feeling pretty "foggy" for a few days. The only thing I have noticed is some spotting. I am hoping this is normal. Oh, and this morning I woke up really flushed and soaking wet. Was it a fever or a hot flash....hmmmm. Either way I am glad I slept through it!
I go for my next injection on April 4th and surgery will be the 30th. I understand my doctor's need to make the surgery easier and this is his protocol, I am just growing impatient to get it over with. I know I said I would enjoy the break until September but reading my blog roll and what is happening with all of you is making me down right antsy...
My CBEFM is gathering dust, I am off the hook with tracking for a few months and I am not too sure what to do with myself. Oh I remember....I should be tracking every morsel of crap I put into my mouth with WW and finding a painting class.....gotcha.

Lupron

I was just pondering the CBEFM issue. Do I continue to use up cherished pee sticks to see if I'm ovulating just for fun? Or do I skip the month(s) that I'm not going to be trying. Grrr. Not sure what I'm going to do yet.
If it makes you feel any better I've been stressing on why my doctor is moving things faster than your doctor. Why didn't I get put on Lupron? Will he be able to see anything? I even had to ask if I should come off the aspirin (minor detail...seeing that aspirin causes more bleeding in surgery) uh hellooooo. All this has caused me to panic at many given times of the day. So trust me...it's not any better on this side of the coin either. But between your doctor's protocol and mine we should certainly give the other bloggers a good sense of range of options. Why do I feel like a guinnea pig all of a sudden?
Hang in there.
I have spotted every time I've been on Lupron, but usually when it was overlapped with BCP. I assume it must be normal.
No worries on your Debbie Downer comment. I totally understand how your experiences completely shape your view of a song, or a smell, or an article of clothing, because it puts you right back in that place. And I'm sorry you had to open my blog and have those feelings come back.
I am sorry you feel like things are dragging on for you. Feeling stuck is the worst. Hopefully we can all help you get through the wait with as much fun as possible, considering.
Hey - you should email me....what painting classes are you looking at? I am looking for one too - I love to paint and it has been a LONG time! Maybe we can paint together??? Also, I am counting on you to get my ass out hiking with you once I am no longer gainfully employed.
Sounds like a plan. Now make another list and get yourself moving!! Share some WW tips if you find any...I am also doing WW but haven't been motivated this week so I need some help!!
I didn't get put on lupron, but I was put on progesterone for the month prior. Holy hot flashes batman! Seriously and I had flushed cheeks every afternoon. Good times, good times.
I get you on the "you have a plan but hurry up already"
The hurry up and wait syndrome sucks. And I totally understand the feeling of seeing everyone around us on this bloggy world moving forward while feeling stuck in neutral.
Hang in there!
