Am I a Drug Lord?


Here are all of the medications needed for one cycle of IVF. Crazy- isn't it?
I started stimming last night. 2 Menopur injections and one Dexamethasone pill each night until Thursday night. Then I go back in for monitoring on Friday morning.
Last night I started feeling the side effects already. I went to bed at 10:15 and woke up at 1:33AM. I did not fall back to sleep until almost four. I woke up panicking that I took the wrong medications because I was having a really vivid dream that I messed them up.
I woke up and was WIDE awake. Just laying there trying to wake up my husband over and over again (to no avail) and imagining re-doing my parents house. I don't know why- it was just something to think about I guess.
I had the weirdest gas bubbles shooting up my belly. They didn't hurt- just felt weird.
Anyway- you could imagine how exhausted I am today after barely sleeping last night. DH and I were gonna go get a tree, but we're not sure if we want a real one or a fake one. We might hold off on it for now.
Will update with more side effects, etc. this week. Otherwise, will updates my progress on Friday.
