I started Lupron yesterday. Not a big deal really, my ovaries were a little achy this morning so I sure hope they are getting suppressed. I feel a little on edge too. I keep telling my husband it's the drugs. I sure hope I am right because I don't feel like myself. I have my Estradiol checked on the 11/16. I emailed my new nurse Julie and asked her what number they were looking for. I am prone to cysts, although I know that they don't matter during a FET, but cysts can produce high levels of Estradiol. She said they are looking for 50 or above. This determines if you lining is too thin. On 11/23 when I do labs & u/s they are looking for anything over 300. Annie (old nurse) wrote me Monday to tell me she is no longer my nurse because she is only working very part-time. I have no preference in who my nurse is, as long as someone answers my questions, I am happy. I really want to book plane tickets but I am scared my FET will get cancelled so we might just wait to purchase them until after the 16th but they are so damn cheap right now I might just purchase them.
Next up...I stop BCP's on Saturday and wait for AF to arrive.
Aww...that's too bad about Annie. I wonder why she's only work part-time now? She's my nurse too. I hope your new nurse is as good as Annie - I loved her!
ReplyDeleteWe always fly Southwest and they let you change the tickets with no penalty, you can buy them now that they are cheap and then change it if you have to :-)
ReplyDeleteI think it's the Lupron, I feel like I'm possesed that stuff, don't know how I'm going to do on 2 months of Depot Lupron.
So exciting! Things are moving!!!
Hi there - If the ticket prices are good, I would buy them. Chances are your FET will go as scheduled. I was real worried about that too when my period did not start after taking lupron, but it ended up working out. My nurse is Kathryn and she is really nice, so I hope you get her.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are getting closer to the big day!
I am getting so excited for you. I had the same dilemma with tickets. I booked them too. I figured if the date changes, I will pay either way.....either for a higher price ticket, or a change fee. And about the Lupron....everyone is different, but I lost my mind on it. Nothing even remotely phased me but Lupron made me go a bit nutty. If you find yourself crying over something extremely traumatic, that otherwise would not have bothered you at all, it's the Lupron. Go easy on yourself. I can't wait !!

ReplyDeleteHope AF presents itself clearly and unambiguously! : )
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I can't believe it's happening so soon. Good luck with the tickets - I am having the same dilemma myself...I may just buy them too. Can't wait to hear about your FET!
