Hello huge pile o' drugs! Today my Lupron and Endometrin came in the mail. Today is also my last day of birth control pills. For the next two days I won't need to take any meds. Then on Friday I take Lupron twice a day and on Saturday I take a cocktail of Lupron, Menopur and Gonal-F. I'm not really looking forward to it, I'm afraid I'll screw it up somehow. I'll have to read over my medication administration instructions again.
A word to the wise....I received my sharps container today. The lid was not attached and there was something in the container but I stuck the lid on anyway for the purpose of my picture. I later found out that the container lid isn't really meant to come off. After trying to pry it off with my hands, teeth and a butter knife, I finally gave up and just pried the stuff out of the container. It was gauze and alcohol pads. Oh well, lesson learned.
Whee-two whole days without meds! Don't go too crazy now!! :)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to you as you begin this cycle!
I will be in your shoes in about 7 months. Best of luck to you, and btw, yes Facebook can be cruel!
ReplyDeletehaha! You crack me up about the sharps container... once I moved onto my blood thinners, (Lovonox) it is a 'pre filled' syringe, so you had to dispose of the whole thing, so it filled up fast. We live in a fairly large city, and I could not find another sharps that was big (they had ones at walmart, but they would have lasted me a week). It was crazy!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha too funny about the lid on the sharps!
