Meds, Meds, Meds
I’ve been taking daily injections of lupron since December 8, wearing Climara estrogen patches since December 17, started taking Dexamethasone pills tonight, and will begin a 2-week regimen of Dorxy antibiotics starting tomorrow. Intramuscular injections of Progesterone start on January 1 and will continue daily for the next 3 months if the frozen embryo transfer (FET) is successful. Medrol will also start on January 1 and will end on the day of the FET, which is scheduled for January 4. On the day of the transfer, I even get to add a bit of Valium to the cocktail to ensure that my uterus is relaxed and ready to accept the snowflakes.
Needless to say, I’m on a lot of drugs right now and will continue to be until January 4. Everything kicks up a notch starting tonight, so I am praying that my body will tolerate it well. So far, so good — with the exception of the killer migraine from hell that I had the day after I started the lupron injections. Luckliy, I haven’t had a headache like that since then, just low-grade tension headaches which I can cope with it.
Another blood test and ultrasound on Monday, so I’m praying that everything is on track for the FET in January.
Now, excuse me while I pop some pills.
