First wave is underway

I have been on birth control pills for two weeks and last weekend, I started Lupron injections. Once AF shows, my dose will be cut in half and I will begin my stimulation medication. Thanks to Lupron, I am now dealing with daily headaches, which are rather unpleasant and I've been a bit grumpy. I sure had forgotten just how nasty these medications are!

This makes me even more thankful that I will be off work quite a bit this month. In fact, this is the only full week that I will work for the next few weeks. I have at least 2 and sometimes three days off every week until May. Depending on how things are looking for our transfer, I'll likely take a day or two off at the beginning of May, too. We shall see how things look in the next couple of weeks.

I had made the decision not to talk to people about our IVF efforts this time because I don't want anyone to bring it up. I don't want to have to give them updates, or give them bad news and if I have good news to give at the end of this, I want to be able to decide when and how I tell them. I have a feeling that my husband has mentioned it to some of his family members because it is suddenly getting brought up by them and somehow they know exactly how much it is costing us. While I did tell him he could tell some people, I really wish he wouldn't have told his family...not yet at least.

I just hope that this roller coaster of a month flies by smoothly and quickly!
