Is it the drugs?

Ok - I'm not sure if it's the lupron or not. Up until now, I haven't had any noticeable symptoms from the shots. But the past two days - I have been in the crappiest mood and I can not quit eating. I had been doing so well - eating lots of fruits and vegetables, working out, dropping a few pounds. Now I can't stop shoving food in my mouth and I crave cake. Unfortunately, there is no cake in the house, so after just getting home from eating dinner out with a friend, I'm searching the house for cake, cookies, ice cream anything - but there is nothing in the house (other than fruits and vegetables)! So I had a bowl of Cheerios instead. This is after just eating bread, salad, pasta and drinking two glasses of wine. Not good. I never really believed it before, but I'm slowly starting to think that lupron is the devil - especially as my headache is starting to kick back in.

Lupron is the Devil. It takes me a few days on it to start to get the full effect. Hope it goes quickly.

I would totally blame the drugs no matter what. That is the perk you get from having to stab yourself repeatedly for this process. Good luck, hope it goes fast!

It might be the Lupron. For me, I think it just screwed with my emotional stability, which was just plain cruel to do during a cycle where upon everything hinged for me!

SO glad you are getting started again. I'll be thinking of you and praying for you, too. I know what you mean about the eating. It's normal. Get used to it, too cause it'll probably get worse. If you gain 5 - 10 pounds it's not the end of the world. As body concious as you are you will take it off after the pregnancy!:o>
