The Buserelin shots go on. I continue to have no real side effects this time-I am not crying, nor do I have hot flashes. I do have some bloating and swelling, but then PMS is lined up for next week's period (known in Buserelin Land as The Soaked Sponge Squeeze Out). I get a bit annoyed every now and then, but that too is most likely PMS-linked. I'm tired, but it could be because it's so damn hot out, or perhaps because I have switched from the injectible form of heroin to the sniffing kind (I'm always being conscious of the effects all of these injectibles will have on Junior, which is the name for my pet uterus.)
(I'm just kidding, I don't do drugs.)
(No really, I don't.)
(OK, strictly speaking I guess I do, but they come from the IVF clinic, and I do everything they say, even if they told me that Junior, my pet uterus, required ritual cleansing.)
(Then I'd ask what ritual cleansing really meant, and if it went along the lines of those ads that start off: "Mom? I just don't feel fresh anymore.")
(Enough parenthesis. Maybe those are another side effect of Buserelin.)
So no side effects.
Maybe the drugs just aren't working.
UPDATE-Oh yeah, I was wrong. A Dog's Trust commercial just reduced me to quivering sobbing bits on the couch (which I had my butt parked on while I was supposed to be writing a technical document for work.) The German, perhaps, is beginning to take her leave.
Posted by Vanessa at July 5, 2006 12:15 PM | TrackBackJust when you didn't think you had any side effects, there they are, lurking in wait for you. But adverts make me cry all the time, anyway, so I'm not sure I could chalk it up to my fragile mental state from the drugs as opposed to just normal.
I'm glad it isn't affecting you too badly. Long may that continue.
