I swear my stomach grew between my Repronex and Lupron injections tonight. DH doesn't believe me since it was really only about 2 minutes - but I think it did.

So far the Repronex injections (all 2 of them) haven't been too bad. Since I suck at drawing them up, it seems like it sits long enough to reduce some of the burning feeling. If tonight's injection doesn't give me a big, red welt like last night's did, we're in business.

I am starting to wonder if I'm feeling side effects already or if it's really mental. Ever since the first lupron injection I've been extra tired - I was very happy to read that it seems pretty common. I feel much better about sleeping so late the last couple weekends knowing that it isn't pure laziness.

This morning I thought I noticed some differences while we were doing sprints during swim training. It seemed like I was getting out of breath more quickly and I couldn't breathe as deeply. I am assuming that is probably mental.... after only 1 follistim and 1 repronex I wouldn't expect to be noticing a difference.

Anyway, tomorrow morning is my first monitoring appointment. I am curious to see if my ovaries are on track and the differences from the baseline. I've been instructed to get things going so that I don't have my ER next Friday. DH has a meeting that day and he doesn't want to miss it. I've given my ovaries a stern talking to - I guess we'll just have to see if they cooperate :)
