Friday night just before bed, I realized in a panic why I had started my cycle early. I had been taking the placebo birth control pills, not the active ones. In my 20 years of being on and off the pill I have never done that. Obviously, I didn't sleep well that night. I had been off the active pills for 6 days. I was supposed to stop taking them on 2/3, a full week later.
Saturday morning I called the nurse on her personal cell phone. I wasn't sure this was an emergency but I figured since we're paying cash for these procedures and she gave us her number for urgent things, it was worth giving her a call.
She sent a txt to dr Harris and he responded a few hours later saying he wanted me to take 2 active pills Saturday night and 2 Sunday night then stop again. I'm not sure the reason but I think its to make sure I shed all the lining before they build it back up again for the transfer.
Today is Sunday and I feel like CRAP! Nauseated, head aches, rumbly tummy, and exhausted. Did I mention I've had a headache for a week now? Ever since starting the Lupron.
Last night we went to see a friend in a production of A Chorus Line and I had to inject myself in the bathroom of the restaurant. Fun times.
I'm big whiney complainy lump today. I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband who is patient and kind. Just wish he could be the science experiment for a while instead of me :)
