Lupron/Leuprolide and insomnia?
Argh, I started morning injections of 10 units of Leuprolide on Monday (6 days ago) in preparation for our FET in April, and I swear that I cannot sleep anymore! I'm never a good sleeper, but I usually don't have 6-7 nights in a row of waking up at 2am and not being able to fall back asleep. Is this normal? I'm going to call the nurse tomorrow and ask her.
ETA: called RE and got information from them. thanks for your help!

Re: Lupron/Leuprolide and insomnia?
*****ticker warning*****
When I was on lupron for my first IVF, I had insomnia issues due to the lupron, and I'm not one to have problems sleeping. For my current FET, I didn't seem to have as many issues, but I'm quite sure I was on a lower dose. I think my nurse said that it was normal.

are you taking a steriod like dxamethasone or prednisone or medrol as part of your protocol?
i have horrible insomnia during cycles when i take steriod.
if you are on a steriod take it as soon as you wake up with some food to help prevent insomnia

Nope, just leuprolide and birth control (last pill toinght, wahoo!) for the last week.
i would just suggest taking the shot as early as possible and maybe try some meditation or relaxation cd's before bed
oh, IF the gift that keeps on giving

Per nurses instructions, I have to take it in the AM, so you'd think by PM it'd be out of my system!
