  Insomnia and headaches...my nurse said that this is an early dose of what menopause will be like.

  I started my Lupron injections on Sunday morning, and have yet to have any side effects (knock on wood). I felt reeeeeaally tired and dizzy last night all of a sudden, but felt fine today. So I don't know if that's related or not. I was on Lupron for 6 months a couple of years ago though and had night sweats almost every night

  **TTC #1 Sep 2009-Feb 2013**   Me: 33 DH: 32 (healthy, SA = normal)

  DX (May 2010) = Lap #1 showed Stage I-II endometriosis. HSG normal. Tx with 6 mo Lupron (which did nothing...) Lap #2 June 2011 to remove endo, uterine fibroid, and polyp

  IUI #1-#3 (July-Sep 2011): All Clomid 50 mg + unmonitored IUI = All BFN

  October 2011 - April 2012: Outta $$$ (no insurance coverage) = back to tryin' on our own

  May 2012 - August 2012: Mental break from trying

  October 2012: New OB. Bloodwork normal aside from slightly low progesterone

  November 2012: IUI #4: Letrozole 2.5 mg + Novarel trigger + monitored IUI + progesterone = BFN

  IVF #1: Long Lupron Protocol,Menopur,Follistim, ER = 2/12/13 27R/26M/23F

  2/17/13 Transferred 1 perfect Grade 1 blast. 17 frostbabies.

  HPT 7dp5dt: BFP!!! Beta #1 9dp5dt: 108 Beta #2 11dp5dt: 368

  U/S #1 3/21: Heartbeat and one perfect bean!!  DS born 11/6/13 via c-section

  
  

  TTC #2 March - August 2015 = all BFNs
  

  Prep for FET #1: Aug 2015: found "mass" in uterus on saline sonogram; scheduled a hysteroscopy to remove. 
  

  Sept 2015: Hysteroscopy: mass turned out to be scar tissue(?), all removed. Recheck saline sonogram 2 weeks later showed "stuff" still in uterus (more scar tissue? remnants from surgery? Will see if clears with a period). Recheck saline sonogram 1 week later: all clear! Start Lupron and Estrace. Follow up u/s 2 weeks later: uterine lining only 5mm, add in patches. Follow up u/s 1 week later: uterine lining = 4.3mm (argh!), stop estrace and patches and start estradiol injections twice/week. Follow up u/s 2 weeks later: uterine lining = 5mm Instructed to keep on estradiol injections and recheck in 5 days = lining still at 5mm. Need to make a decision - go for it? Or toss in the towel w/ this cycle and start all over again next year with a new protocol. Decided to go for it as we had 17 frosties; what have we got to lose?? 
  

  12/2/15 = transferred 1 perfect Grade B blast

  12/9/15 = HPT - BFP!!!!

  Beta #1 12/11/15: 236    Beta #2  12/14/15: 503   Please stick little one!!!!

  U/S scheduled for week of 1/4/16

  This is my second time on Lupron and I dont believe I had any memorable side effects.  I just started my injections this past Saturday and so far so good so hopefully you are just overthinking it.
