Lupron period

I got my "Lupron period" last night around 9 p.m. It started like any other period, but this morning it does seem heavier than my normal period when on the birth control pill. I let my donor coordinator know that I got my period, and she said it was right on time and asked me to come in on Thursday morning for blood work and an ultrasound. This will be when they determine my next steps.

I am continuing to take my nightly Lupron injections. The injections do not bother me at all. I can't stress that enough, because I was worried about having to give myself injections. The needles are so small I can hardly tell when I have entered my skin. I have noticed a few side effects in the past few days since I last posted. I have had a few mild heat flashes (it is easy to tell because normally I am always cold) and I have also had some trouble sleeping through the night the past two nights. It is similar to when I drink too much caffeine and walk up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep. Certainly not major side effects, but something to note.
