Going into the end of week four on daily Lupron following laparoscopy and it is kicking my ass. I was worried about getting super depressed on it, but I’m just hyper irritable and anxious, which frankly makes me come off as a total bitch. My partner is a real trouper.
So this is me seven and a half weeks post surgery and 27 days into the lupron. (Just keeping it real here.)
I’m bloated from the daily injections and am starting to get a localized rash from it each morning. That said, my surgery scars a way smaller than I thought they’d be and it hasn’t been as bad as the stim period of a fresh cycle. I’ve been thinking about working the scars into a tattoo when this is all over. Any ideas, Reader? I’m scheduled for the month long depot injection this coming Wednesday, so we’ll see how that goes….
In the meantime, I’m keeping myself busy with work (way too busy). I’m trying to figure out how to lower my stress level and relax a bit, but that’s not a talent of mine. I’m also trying to avoid moments of weakness like this morning when I added a bunch of onesies to my ThinkGeek wishlist.
(One of them was a Star Trek Next Gen engineering uniform! Am I right?) Anyway they’re perpetually out of stock and apparently so am I.

Oh, the fun times of being on Lupron. Hang in there!

Thanks for the commiseration! Always comforting to know that others have survived it too 🙂

Ah Lupron… Hang in there, girl. I’ve never been good at de-stressing either during cycles…

Thank you! I don’t know about you, but de-stressing in general is tough, and the pressure to de-stressing to prep for a cycle never helps. 🙂

Hang in there! I am also the WORST at de-stressing too. How can someone de-stress when there is so much to worry about? Add in lupron = pure chaos.

I’m not much for tattoos, but a butterfly for hope and renewal might be good. Hope your recovery is speedy.

Thank you. That’s a lovely idea. Maybe a butterfly on one side and a phoenix on the other. Hmm…
