After about 4 weeks of Lupron injections I went back in for a follow up ultrasound for another “suppression check” (making sure the ovaries are quiet and I am not ovulating). Let’s make sure the Lupron worked this time around… and it did!
Now to begin the “stimulation phase”:
- Start taking estradiol (2mg) 3x per day, 8 hours apart.
- Continue Lupron injections every night between 7-9 p.m. but reduce from 10 to 5 units per day
- Come back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound and blood work
…And to remember to take all of these medications every day at the correct times. I had to set reminders on my phone and keep medications in my car, next to my bed and in my work bag to make sure I had them at 5:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
Well, I guess I can’t go to bed at 7:30 anymore! Let’s hope my body continues to work along with the medications and hormones and not against them.
