Seriously, that stuff is evil. However, doing a FET protocol (which is very similar to a DE protocol), just know that once you cut down to one half the dose you are doing now and (here’s the key…) start estrogen, it will get soooooo much better. I didn’t believe it…I was shying away from light like a vampire for weeks, miserable, gaining weight, with my head exploding and then the dosage cut helped a little to take the edge off but then the blessed estrogen! You will be there soon and then you will be posting a beautiful healthy BFP.

I was going to suggest, if you are drinking cofffee, and you aer getting headaches. LillyShephard, a blogger, advised me to take the tyelonol + a cup of coffee immediately after downing the tylenol. This is a life savor!!1

Lupron sounds horrific, but on the bright side, Lovenox will seem like a walk in the park?

ummm, yes. In my brief, 13 day experience with Lupron, I gained 6 lbs on my scale. So I’d do whatever you need to do to keep yourself sane at this point. If it’s a cup of morning coffee you need, go for it. Because otherwise you have both the lack of caffeine and the lupron ripping off the top of your head. And really, who needs that?

Good luck and try to feel better. Convince them that today is the day you are going to take a long long walk at work in order to slow the pace down. Then both you and the forces of evil get something good.

Good luck!!

Yay for the coffee and beating the Lupron headache into submission! FWIW, I found that using my IVF-prescribed generic Percocet worked pretty darn well for headaches, too. Don’t tell Dr. Gorgeous

STAY OFF THE SCALE! Don’t do that to yourself. And I am totally with you on the coffee and the wine. Going cold-turkey on everything at once was a brave, brave plan. Hang in there! And if I catch the devil, I’ll take him out for you!
