I have been taken 10 units of Lupron for the past 3 days in preparation of IVF with donor eggs. I am also on BCP until tomorrow. The symptoms from lupron were felt pretty much after my first shot. I have been feeling irritable, moody and have terrible insomnia at night and a mild lingering headache, but no hot flashes - at least not yet. The insomnia is terrible as I wake up in the middle of the night with horrible thoughts and feeling agitated and irritable. I would describe the overall feeling as if I have been drinking 20 cups of strong coffee per day and feeling constantly pepped up. But as some of you said, I keep on thinking of the end result and the opportunity to possibly get what I would otherwise miss out in life if not for these drugs - a baby to love and cherish. Ok, for now we endure Lupron and the future meds like progesterone oil shots which sound "very" exciting. Good luck to everyone.

I'm on my 3rd week of Lupron injections (5mg) preparing for IVF using a known donor. I'm not sure if you have already purchase your progesterone medication but if not, talk w/your physician & see if he'll prescribe Endometrium which is the same as Progesterone oil shots but a vaginal suppository. So MUCH better & convenient than Progesterone oil shots. My physician prescribed it for me being that my husbands works shift work which would prevent him from administering my injection each day at the same time.
