A lupron question.

I am on day 11 of lupron for my FET. Yesterday I started estrace and cut my lupron dose in half. I have been having the worst symptoms with the lupron and was curious if this was the norm.

I am starving ALL. OF. THE. TIME. I am hangry constantly. I am also super bloated and have gained some weight. The weight gain is probably attributed to the hunger more than anything else, but my clothes barely fit. I'm having to wear my stretchy clothes from stims during my last IVF cycle. I have headaches off and on, but I get them at least daily and I am just emotionally done! Is this normal?

    @Frenchteachermama Thank you! I am struggling! I was expecting my FET cycle to be easier on my body than stimming during my IVF cycle. It's different than stims, but in some ways I feel so much worse! I just wasn't expecting to feel so bad! These next few weeks can't go by fast enough!

    I did get headaches from Lupron during cycle 1.  Not this time, though--maybe you adjust?

    Good luck!
