Days and days of feeling very low. I've been keeping busy. We had a busy weekend with many that we love. Those moments were nice and I was distracted but then when all is quiet I am immediately low and weary. 3 weeks of waking up 3-4 hours after I've gone to bed to take the lupron shots. It's not like waking up to pee then going back to sleep. When you have to prepare and inject a shot you have no choice but to be fully awake. One doesn't go back to sleep immediately and unfortunately 3 weeks later I'm still struggling.
Right now I'm in the parking lot of the clinic. I'm early so I thought I'd catch the blog up a hair. We are in a holding pattern. I'm doing a repeat visit of last week.
Last week not only did I have two large ovarian cysts (common after stims) but my lining was super thick. The goal was that the lupron would prevent follicle growth and lining growth. So it wasn't/isn't doing its job. Off we went last Monday to st Augustine to celebrate our 7th anniversary. It was a wonderful and very last minute reprieve. They called and said we can't move forward on the protocol sheet til I have a period. Lining needs to go! So today I'm getting it checked again but I haven't started. Sooooo frustrating. I felt like I was about to get it all week and nothing. I'll probably start on my drive home. I'm praying they give me another week to start so we can move forward but I also worry that they'll have me quit the shots and start the whole frozen cycle over.
I'm weary. I feel like we are never going to get there. I know it's silly to say that but it is how I feel so its legitimate. And yesterday was Mother's Day. Even after we have a baby I think ill always hate Mother's Day. Ugh.
Post visit at home now about to go to work. Not good.... 3 cysts twice as big as last week. They are around 44mm which is like the size of an orange. Really need to get my period as that will hopefully cause them to re absorb. Not guaranteed but odds are that they will go away with the flow. I for the the last few days have been soaking my feet in hot water, drinking tons of vitamin C and I just made parsley tea (so weird). These are 3 home remedies to bring on a late period. Hopefully today... They'll call this afternoon to give me instructions on what I do next. Ill update when I know. Praying they don't rupture. This isn't life threatening it just could be really painful should one pop. Eek.
