Now I'm Spotting - What the heck?

Day three of Lupron shots, still on birth control and I start cramping and spotting tonight! What the heck?  Emailed the dr to see if this is normal.  This is such a roller coaster!

First Self Administered Shot

I had to stab myself last night because Nate was running late and the shots need to be done pretty precisely around the same time.   It wasn't so bad. I had to push harder than I thought to get the needle to go in which was weird, but what's even more strange is the large bruise I have this morning.  It was just a SQ shot under the skin and I've never busied that bad before.  Maybe the angle...

Who knows.

Feeling much better emotionally today but that may be because of the hard workout last night.

Still feeling like a pin cushion. :(

1st Lupron shot done 1/26/14

The shot was easy but I'm always nervous putting a new drug into my body.  I've been sick and feeling pretty down lately. I think its the hormones. They've had me on active birth control pills for longer than a normal cycle.  My body's regular hormone cycles are all off and now the Lupron will basically shut my ovaries down and put me into menopause. The estrogen supplements will help counteract that but I don't start those for another week.  This next week is going to be "fun".

In other news I finished the body of my sweater I was knitting but the back is puffing out and is too big.  Really frustrating.  Not sure if blocking it will help. Not sure I have to patience to finish the sleeves now.

1st FET Ultrasound - Here we go!

Had my first ultrasound for the FET today. No cysts and uterus looks good. Lining is thin (which was why we didnt do a fresh transfer) but Dr isn't concerned about it now. We start Lupron on Sunday. Glad to be actively doing something and moving forward again. Good news is I can continue to work out since we're not trying to make my ovaries create eggs this time around. Fingers crossed!


Oh and I went in for blood work this morning and Kaiser has a special lab set aside just for fertility patients from 7:30 - 8:30 am. You'd think the lab techs would be aware of why we are there. The woman asked me, "Do you have a baby?"  I said, "No, that's what we're working on." She says "Oh just relax don't stress and it will happen." If I were a less nice person I would report her for being stupid.
