Day 7

It's day 7 - so 7 shots of Lupron. Not much to report really...I experienced hot flashes the first night, but that could have been induced by me, freaking myself out, expecting something to happen. For the past week, the only change I really noticed is how tired I get. Generally I'm like the Energizer bunny, I'll keep going as long as there's some kind of stimulus. Lately, I've been getting tired around 11:00pm and sleeping shortly after midnight. Lame!!

I do have a confession to make. The nurse told me that I could have about 2 drinks in one day if I wanted to have some wine with dinner or something. Ok, that's totally doable. So I've been keeping within the limits of 2 drinks/day if I had the opportunity to enjoy an adult beverage, and keeping up with the injections every night - that's pretty impressive, any of my girlfriends will tell you, I'm horrible at taking routine meds - in the case of birth control pills, I kept forgetting to take them. Once I had forgotten for 4 days and then took 5 pills in the morning and spent the whole day throwing up. Thank goodness for NuvaRing!! Anyway, so back to the confession. Friday night, my friend and I threw a party and I ended up spending the night there because I broke a major rule...I had quite a bit more than 2 drinks and it wasn't safe for me to drive, not to mention I was exhausted! Also, I didn't have the Lupron with me so I ended up taking the injection the next day early afternoon. I'm hoping it's going to work similarly to BCPs where if you forget to take it one night then you can take 2 the next day?

I feel horrible that I was so negligent that night. I promise I'll be good from now, I promise, I promise, I promise.
