At the end of week 2 of luprone and a week before schedule (21 days instead of 28) I started my cycle. It was heavier cramps than normal..I rarely have cramps and if i do, I take 2 advil and I'm good for the whole time. This time, the cramps stayed even after meds and I took more meds and still had cramps..I'd say i had cramps the whole day 1. What I also noticed is that my flow felt heavier, which is hard to even consider. Typically on day 1 and 2 I wear super plus tampons and 3 pads.. I flowed over my pads and my tampons. I was changing everything within 2 or 3 hours for almost 2 days. That's new..Day 3 was lighter and day 4 was very light (this is normal in my cycle-no cramps)
I guess much of the bloat last week was actually PMS bloat. My fibroids get big right before my cycle. I really can't tell that I am on a medication yet. I do feel more emotional, and i have noticed the forgetfulness, but nothing feels too new. The only pain I feel in bones is my bones in my foot. They hurt the way bones hurt when you wear heels too long. That feels new. however when I ran today, I didn't feel that foot pain and I even ran a steep hill.
My anxiety is higher, but not debilitating like it was in October (no luprone then, just medical worry around lightheadedness)
I will take a pic in about 2 weeks after shot 2. I expect month 2 to be better than month 1. I am hoping that some of the abdominal swelling will go down..
