10 days and counting

Today is the 10th day I am on Supre.fact injection. As I was reading others blogs I realise that not many or none really have any symptoms while on hormones suppression. So today I decided to ask Dr Goo.gle for some answers. N this was what he came up with. I understand that this is teh period of time when the injection is supposed to suppress my hormones ( I believe it is the Estrogen Level).

At this current moment based on my current symptoms, the injections are doing what they are supposed to be doing and my estrogen level is suppressed. Based on Dr Goo.gle, the following are symptoms of low level of estrogen:

Sign and Symptoms of Low Estrogen Levels:

Rapid pulse rate
Bloating (Checked)
Fatigue that worsens during the day (Checked)
Constant fatigue, lethargy and fatigue on light exertion. (Checked)
Short-term memory failure
Poor Memory
Hot flashes (Checked)
Joint pain, swelling and stiffness (on my fingers -Checked)
Decreased Sex Drive (A little - I am not so sure coz currently having AF)
Depression
Headaches (Checked)
Osteoarthritis
Low Back Pain
Dry skin
Vaginal Dryness
Recent unexplained weight gain

So that explains my constant lethargy and laziness to get my ass of the couch. Yes some of you might think that I am just making up excuses for being lazy but truly I can't keep my eyes open especially in the late afternoon (like now).

Bro is discharge. Thank goodness. He is currently home thus I don't have to travel to and fro the hospital anymore. 4 more days of injection then I will be going in for my estrogen level check. Let's hope this time it will be it. I am praying this will be the silver lining we are looking for. I am hoping that God will pay off our patience all this while. Will update again once I have had my appointment this coming Friday. Till then have a good week ahead.

To Tammy and Mark ~ You are in my prayers throughout this difficult time. Stay strong despite all the challenges presented to you. May things get easier for you in the near future.
