I'm going to need HRT when I'm 50

My estrogen levels have clearly bottomed out. I can tell because my head hurts (only mildly but I have been popping 4 Aleve a day as a preventive measure), I'm  super moody (sorry guys) and I'm insanely tired. On the plus side I had my baseline scan and I have a nice thin lining and no cysts. This means I can start taking follistim very soon. Once I start taking follistim things should improve, hopefully quickly! I just don't know how women handle life during menopause. I seriously have to only experience these kinda of symptoms for a few weeks-I can't imagine it going on forever!! I just can't tolerate anyone or anything. Could I be any more negative? 

That was yesterday. What I can say is wow, how a simple hormone therapy can mess with your mind! It's so crazy that the lupron, which causes estrogen to dramatically decrease, can alter my state of mind so severely and without warning. I woke up tired, very tired, but not in a bad mood. When I got to work after my appointment I was a little off.  By lunch I had to sit quietly or else I may have bitten someone's head off...all while having an internal argument with myself about why I was acting so "cray cray"!! Ha! Thankfully by the late afternoon I snapped out of it, with a little help from my friends. Love you guys!! If you are reading this I'm sorry I was such a bitch yesterday :-) I think that I was better by the Real Housewives of NYC premier party-how could I not be?!? 

Today is better in countless ways. Still have the nagging headache/sore neck, but it's manageable. We have a "blizzard day" so I got to sleep in!! It was so nice and much needed. I was drained yesterday. I'm still tired but I know that's just bc of the meds. I have the luxury now of just resting :-). I'm in a much happier state of being too. 

Two more days until I start follistim and approximately two weeks until ER! :-)
