Last Friday, I started my suppressing injections. The drug is called Lupron, but it might as well be called sticks-of-pure-butter-every-fried-food-chocolate-coated-everything. I have put on an additional 5 pounds... on top of the 15 that I have already gained during this 2 year process. I have a double chin, my face is swollen, my arms jiggle, my ass has a nametag that says 'Kardashian', and my stomach is already starting to swell. Sweet Baby Jesus.
The kicker is that Lupron is not stimulating anything good to grow. It's job is to put my ovaries and reproductive organs to sleep. 5 pounds may not sound terrible, but I just keep imagining how much more will come when I actually start stimulating eggs. I would post a picture of me, except for I don't want to, so you'll just have to imagine the puffiness.
Tomorrow is my last birth control pill (hopefully for my entire life). I will continue injecting 10units of Lupron, taking doxycycline twice a day, baby aspirin, and prenatals until Friday the 12th, which is when the craziness starts and we get to finally grow some (hopefully lots) of eggs.
So basically, the point of this post is to whine. That's the great thing about this blog is I get to say whatever I want. I want to say that I'm pissed off that I look like this. Grr.
