Bringing Out the Big Guns August 19, 2004

Today’s the day for me to start the real drugs. My husband and I each have to take a pretty heavy dose of antibiotics today. I decided that since I was going to be taking my Lupron and BCP at night, that I should take my antibiotics earlier in the day so that all three of those drugs wouldn’t be floating around in my body at the same time. I doubt it really matters, but nonetheless, I took the antibiotics with my lunch. Not the best decision I’ve ever made. They made me feel like total crap. Live and learn, I guess.

Now here’s the deal with my Lupron injection for tonight. I’ve always planned on having my husband give me my first shot, but he may have to work late tonight. Last night he worked until 10pm and my Lupron is supposed to be given between 7 and 9pm. I’m fairly confident that I’ll be able to give myself the injection if my husband doesn’t make it home in time, it’s just not how I planned it. Come to think of it, none of this IVF crap was “planned” so I guess one shot really doesn’t matter now, does it? Either way, I’m sure I’ll survive (at least the Lupron injection-I’m not so sure about the antibiotics).

Good luck with the injection…. I did my first last night as well.

Good times.

Don’t freak out if you give your injections a little late. We do ours between 9-11 pm. the trigger shot is the only injection that my RE office is strict about. We didn’t have to take antibiotics, but I take my voo doo mix (mix of vitamins) at night as well.

Ice,ice, baby. It works wonders.

You’re so brave, I know you can do it. I hope that those antibiotics will be kinder to you.
