Lupron's fickle ways


Oh, Lupron. Just when I thought our time was coming to an end, I find that is not the case. This morning's blood test / ultrasound determined that I am not yet suppressed. So, one more week on the Lupron for me. How did we celebrate? Lupron gave me a killer migraine - complete with aura. Makes spreadsheet creation a bit difficult. Also, got my period. May I remind you that I just had my period for 2 weeks?

Moving on....



In honor of ICLW, I thought I'd talk a bit about the other side of my life.


  • When I'm not injecting myself with hormones, I like to hang out with my husband and fur-family. This is my dog, Ryno. Despite his giant size, he really is a lap dog. He is currently curled up on the couch next to me snoring.

  • I love to do crafts, especially knitting, sewing, and scrapbooking. Unfortunately, I don't have nearly as much time to craft as I would like, and my recent imersion into the world of infertility has definately eaten into my crafting time. I haven't figured out how to knit and blog / read at the same time.

  • I love reading. I'll read almost anything - not much of a fan of science fiction. I tend to go in waves with my reading themes. Lately, I've been looking for romantic comdedy type books - and I find them a nice way to escape.

So, that's about it for now. I'm looking forward to learning more about everyone in the IF community through ICLW.

  2. Sorry you have a week more on lupron. Hate the stuff, but you can manage through it.

    Hey, I had a diabetic cat too! We gave him insulin shots for 4.5 years. We think he finally got cancer, and then it was very hard to monitor his insulin because he wasn't eating. We were glad to have him live till 16.

  4. I just got some advice from my Dr. today about migraines: She suggested taking a Vitamin B complex and magnesium everyday. I'm going to get some tomorrow and hopefully can beat the rush! I started Lupron today. Although, it's not my first go round with it (I took it at a much higer dose to treat my endometriosis).

    Sorry that you are on another week. Poop...I didn't know that could happen. I'm learning things everyday!!

  6. Thanks for the intro! I love to do crafts too, although I crochet instead of knit. I also don't have nearly enough time for it. Sorry to hear you're having a hard time with the Lupron.

  9. Welcome to ICLW! It's my first time and I love it. It's great finding other blogs like yours. Sucks that you have another week and the headaches and the never-ending periods sound like hell. I wish you all the best and hope that the painful part is over soon, so you can get on with the all important next stage!
