Getting closer to starting the meds

Today I started googling the side effects of Lupron, one of the meds I will be on for about 2-3 weeks. It's job is to suppress the reproductive system so that  I don't accidentally ovulate early. I don't know why I do this to myself but now I'm worried!! The biggest complaints from women undergoing IVF and taking lupron were hot flashes, severe irritability, and HEADACHES!! I seriously might need to just go live at urgent care if I keep having to get headaches (3rd migraine this month today). 

Apparently the symptoms ease some once I add the follistim in to grow my eggs. I have an appointment at the neurologist on the 27th so fingers crossed hopefully I can keep the headaches under control with OTCs until then. I don't actually know if I should be taking them but I assume at least until I get my period it should be OK...which is when my last MEGA migraine hit. This time I will be prepared and start taking action nightly to hopefully prevent an onslaught of pain. 

In other news I went to school to work more on my classroom. It's t-minus 2 weeks until school starts and I still don't know exactly what I'm going to be teaching (hmm maybe that's my headache!!). I meant to take pictures today to post of my work in progress and all the fun things I've bought and done but alas, I forgot. Maybe next week I will remember and post some pics!!
