Today I took my first big dose of medications for suppression:
List of medications ingested this AM and why I take them:
Aspirin 81mg (aka Baby aspirin) Bet ya didn't know it was the correct dose for making babies (corny joke sorry!) - reduced inflammation and improved blood low to uterus
Birth Control pill - to suppress ovarian function
Folic Acid - so that I can get my stores up and don't have a baby with spina bifida
Prenatal vitamin - this has folic acid as well but only 400 mcg and I think I should have at least 800 mcg a day
Doxycycline 100 mg - to eliminate any germs that magically would have been transmitted into my body
Tonight I gave myself my first Lupron shot in the belly! This is with a TINY insulin needle so it doesn't hurt at all.
I barely even felt it and it went well. Small little spot of blood came out and quickly dried up.
I also have to take a Dexamethasone tablet tonight and another dose of Doxycycline tonight
Tom will take Doxycycline twice today too.
They actually have a checklist which is helpful for we OCD people!
I feel like I need to get one of those pill dispenser plastic things that old people use for their numerous medications!
The cats dutifully watched in awe!

And so this stage begins. Is that an OHSU t-shirt you're wearing? Did you wear it to bring out the best in the medicines? Ok, bad joke; must run in the family. (as does the OCD, apparently.) :) Best of luck on this new medicine plan!
Here here on the OCD comment. Right before I read that sentence, I was thinking of the spreadsheet that I would develop...
