It’s Been a Good Drug Day January 11, 2005
My worries about my meds have melted away. I got my tracking number email from IVFMeds today, so my stims are actually headed my way now. I also managed to get my Lupron this afternoon just in time for my first injection of round three.
I decided to walk to the pharmacy this afternoon to get my Lupron. I could have waited until my husband got home around 7 or so, but I thought that would be cutting it too close. What if there was a problem with my insurance or they had ordered the wrong thing or it just hadn’t come in? My stress levels are thanking me for walking the 2+ miles roundtrip to get the drugs, but my knees are not. It was worth it, though. I may not be able to walk anywhere for the next few days, but I’ll be loopy on Lupron, damn it. Oh, and when I say that I won’t be able to walk anywhere, I don’t mean not being able to walk on the treadmill or take another two mile hike. I mean not being able to make it across the apartment without assistance. My knees suck, but that’s ok. I’m trying desperately to appease them with some ice packs right now. Hopefully that will make the little fickle things happy.
So, I guess this is actually happening again. Popping birth control pills does not an IVF cycle make, but shoving a needle into my flesh definitely kicks things off in my mind. The next few weeks should be interesting.

I’m not sure if I have commented here before. But I wanted to wish you the best of luck and also I hope your knee feels better!
Woo on getting your meds! I wish someone could have given you a lift tho :( 2 mile walk with bad knees sucks!
*fingers crossed* this it IT ;)
I am SOOOOO thinking about you and wishing you all the best.
Take care.
Good to know you got your Lupron finally! And the other meds are on their way! I hope the symptoms are not too bad.
And your knees sure sound bad. I’ve had some trouble with my knees sometimes, so I’ve got a taste of how it is. I sure wish that your knees start feeling better soon!!
“Popping birth control pills does not an IVF cycle make, but shoving a needle into my flesh definitely kicks things off in my mind.”
Amen to that one. I cann’t belive I almost forgot the thrill of that lovely ‘ole Lupron injection (NOT!). Anyway cheers (rasies via of Lupron in a toast) and good luck with this cycle, I’ll be thinking of you.

Good luck with the (hideous) Lupron. I am excited you are starting your next cycle – probably more excited that you are – and I REALLY hope this is it for you. How are you feeling today?
Oh Amanda, I’m hoping so hard that this is the one for you.
Also, thank you so, so much for all the E2 info you posted over at my place. It helps to see how flaky this stuff can be.
I hope your knees heal up soon — I’m sure that’s the last thing you need on top of everything else!
Amanda – Sorry to hear that your knees are bothering you. Hope you are feeling better! Wishing you the best for this cycle!!
