That's right--we've made it back safe and sound! PTL! It's been a looooong day, so please forgive me in advance for a short and slightly boring post. ;)
We had a wonderful time over the last couple of days...we just wish we had more time there! (Isn't that what we all say when our vacation is over?? lol) We did all of the "tourist-y" activities: visited Alcatraz, rode a cable car, saw Lombard St, spent a day in Napa Valley, and rode over the Golden Gate Bridge (just to name a few). Our days were definitely busy but fun-filled! Now back to reality...booooooo!
There were no problems with my Lupron shots while we there. Thank the good Lord I didn't get pestered about carrying the medication and syringes on the plane with me at either airport, and I was always able to find a restroom when it was time to take it every day! (I started taking it at 6pm here, and then had to adjust the time for the time change, so I was taking it around 3pm over there...usually in the middle of our adventures.) Now I do have to admit...injecting my stomach while in a dingy, gross bathroom stall is not my idea of a good time, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! All I can say is God bless whoever invented alcohol prep pads and little bottles of hand sanitizer! lol
As for my dosage of Lupron, I started cutting the dose in half yesterday, so I'm now taking 5 units every night. Once I am seen in the office this coming Friday, they will adjust it, if needed, based on my labs and ultrasound (to make sure my ovaries are staying calm and uterine lining is thickening up nicely).
I finished the round of BCP's for this cycle Friday night, and started a round of antibiotics, Zithromax, that same night. (Dr T switched this from Doxycycline because it made me feel so blah last time, and so far I've had no side effects, which is a blessing!) These pills are just to make sure I don't have any underlying infection before things get underway; I will finish them up on Tuesday night.
Well, guys, that's all for tonight. I'm sure a very pleasant jet-lagged feeling will accompanying me to work tomorrow, so I'm going to be proactive and head to bed a tad bit early. ;)
P.S. T-minus eighteen days!! Eeeeeeek!
