After 13 days of Lupron alone, I've noticed my side effects is a headache, and really bad nausea between 12pm to 2pm. But yesterday was really bad I seemed to be feeling sick all day, it might be that my AF arrived Friday so I have all these hormones running around cause me to be super sick with a super upset stomach.
I do my injection everyday between 7-8 am, 10 units. Today Lupron was lowered to 5 units. I know started to hate warm foods, which is a problem because I'm reading that I should be eating all warm foods. Well the whole day I had been pending my 6 pm injections, I had heard such bad stories about how badly Menopur stings or burns.
Well 6pm rolled around and I followed what I had read throughout other experiences. First I set up the medication, and I let it sit, I prepared the Follistim cleaned my stomach area and did that injection, piece of cake! Didn't even feel the needle or medication. Next was the Menopur, and I was so dreading it, my anxiety was through the roof! I went and got a piece of ice from the freezer.
Placed it on the area I was to do the injection for about 2 mins or so. Or atleast until I felt that my skin was numb. I cleaned it again with a alcohol swab, and inserted the injection while squeezing the fat on my lower abdomin. I think I let the medication sit for about 10-15 mins before I injected it, I'm not 100% sure. To my surprize it didn't hurt, nor did I feel any stinging or burning, or if I didn't it wasn't aware of it..
I hope everyday is like this..
Positive thoughts!!
