Wow...

For the past 4 days, I've been doubling up on Menopur and taking the same amount of Lupron and Follistim. It's too bad that I have to double the Menopur because that's the one that hurts. Oh well, I can take it, it's only for a few more days. When I saw the doctor on Friday, he said that I didn't even have a full week left - thank goodness, I'm so done with this. I'm uncomfortable most of the time, there's a lot of pressure in my stomach, which I notice the most when I go from standing to sitting or shift my position while sitting.

Now, with all the bloating and feeling fat, I've not been looking at myself very much. Last night, while preparing for this evening's shots, I yelped in shock as I discovered bruises around my belly button, around my injection sites. These aren't light bruises that you'd see after bumping into a table or something, these are deeply purple, ugly bruises, the hideousness significantly increased by the fact that it's in the middle of my belly.

To top it all off, I've had the worst night's sleep. I woke up around 3:00am, sweating and nauseous, which continued for a couple of hours (felt like a couple of centuries). I hope, I hope, oh I hope I don't have to go through it again tonight. Oh my gosh, I can't wait to feel normal again!!
