We are exactly 3 weeks out from our (intended, because it could change a few days depending on how labs/ultrasounds go before then) transfer date! It is hard to believe we are nearing in on the date when too long ago, we had no date and was not sure when things would get rolling!
I stopped birth control pills after the 1st and am only on Lupron for the moment. I am waiting on my cycle to start - I am guessing today some time or tomorrow. I never thought I would find myself wishing it to start!
The side effects from Lupron have been interesting. Headaches were strong up until about 5 days ago. I tried warm and cold compresses, a heating pad, my husband giving me a back rub but nothing would really help. They stopped thankfully. Just a minor blip I suppose! Now I am dealing with some pretty intense lower back pain - today is better than yesterday - where I could barely stand up straight. I left dinner dishes in the sink last night and took care of them this morning because I just wanted to sit (adding - normally my awesome husband would do them - but he was working late and did not arrive home until close to 9 and still had work to do. I told him to just leave them and get to bed when he could! The dishes certainly were not going anywhere. As it was he was working until almost midnight!).
So today seems better. Still sore but it is manageable. And totally not complaining - just to throw that out there. Medications have side effects and they are listed pretty clearly. I think it is just interesting what ones actually happen! (And from reading - they could be a lot worse. So I am thankful they are not).
I finally had to be honest with myself this morning though and tell my husband I would probably punch anyone for their iced coffee if given the chance (actually not punch because I am not violent like that, but I may try and talk them into handing it over!). I really, really miss iced coffee. But, soon enough, I keep reminding myself, I can enjoy a decaf ;) I mainly just love the taste so decaf does not make me sad like it does to some!
Over Christmas I began cleaning/throwing/selling/donating all of the extra stuff in the house. I am down to one more room before I feel like I have gotten through the majority of it. I am aiming to have it done prior to transfer so it isn't on my mind afterwards! That and I would love if my mom did not walk into a disaster area when she comes to help with the kids when we leave for transfer, and I am sure she would appreciate it as well!
I am still debating if I want to get in for a massage before transfer (just because I wont be able to for a while afterwards, so why not!) and I need to get a chiro appointment or two scheduled as well. I am mentally prepping what I want to bring to transfer to do while on bed rest as well ... I have a new book chosen but that will only get me so far!
That is all for now!
