Day 4 of Lupron shots, Day 19 of birth control pills. I told the Husband this morning after he gave me my daily shot, "I'm sort of done with this already." Sad part is that I've only just begun...
The drug side effects are kicking in and I have a feeling this list will get longer as I work my way through my chest of drugs over the next 6 weeks.
Side Effect 1: Sweating
Thanks to the Lupron I've begun to experience horrible hot flashes and night sweats. I wake up several times a night soaked in sweat. I've always been a warm weather gal, but sweating in bed is pretty gross. The first night I thought someone cranked the heat up in the house, then I realized it wasn't the air that was hot, it was me.
Side Effect 2: Spotting
Thanks to the birth control, I've been experiencing spotting or 'break through bleeding' for the past 9 days. I finally spoke the nurse about it today and she didn't seem too concerned. I guess it is sometimes a side effect of a low dose birth control pill like the one I am on. I really hope that is all it is and not some type of infection caused by the SHG test a few weeks ago...
