Estrogen Hates Me

Apparently my body is angry with me. I am on day 10 of estrogen patches.  Three at a time, left on for three days and then changed.  Fortunately, the headaches are less frequent, and easier to control with pain meds. UNfortunately, every day that I switch my patches I get sick.  Nausea. Vomitting. Not fun! I don't know how these tiny patches can make me so sick. I also went to acupuncture last week, and Gianna told me that my pulse was so "off" that it sounded like it belonged to a different person.



The Lupron shots are also getting really bad.  They HURT! I even cried the other day, and I haven't cried since my first 1 1/2" IM shot in my bum. They're leaving bruises too... how does a tiny needle leave such a big bruise?


In better news, we are transferring next Wednesday! Hooray! I am scared, excited, nervous and about a million other things.  Dr M. told me on Thursday that my endometrium "could not be any more perfect". Yay for my body finally doing what it is supposed to!



This also means that I don't have to do shots anymore, and I started my Progesterone on Friday.  These suckers are LOADS of fun! NOT! This might be a little too much information, but I'm being honest here. Hello discharge! My sister in law told me I would feel like I was peeing myself, and she was not kidding. I feel like maybe I should buy stock in panty liners.
