We are now on mile 13 of our first IVF cycle. Hubby and I had a wonderful time in Cocoa Beach, FL. It was just what we needed. I will say that a vacation while on lupron injections is interesting! I did have some side effects, but I did not let those get in our way. I had moderate stomach pains on and off, bruising on my abdomen, hot flashes, breast tenderness, joint pain, and insomnia.
I have been getting really good at giving myself injections in strange places! For three days we went to Disney, the other three days we spent on the beach. While at The Magic Kingdom, we were waiting for the fireworks to start. There I sat in a crowd of strangers and shot time came around. Hubby used his cell phone light so I could prepare the shot and myself. I lifted up my shirt, exposing my belly and plugged away. I really do not think anyone noticed. But, it hit me that we truly will do anything to have a baby!
I have suprisingly been calm during this two weeks of lupron. I start my stimulation injections later this week, while lowering my lupron dose to half. We are about two to three weeks away from the first surgery, depending on my ovaries. I am hopeful some days, and other days I am just in plain denial.
Work tomorrow. Ugh! A Monday after vacation is going to be rough!
