Day 1 down

This morning was the start of Lupron injections. Last night I was very anxious, actually all day, so I decided to decorate for Christmas and do a little shopping. My house is now decorated and more than 1/2 of the presents are wrapped and under the fake tree. When I was finished I realized that now it was almost bed time and I would be starting shots in the morning. That was a little nerve wracking. I had trouble sleeping and woke up several times too look at the clock, I needed to get up at 7:30 since that is when I will be doing my shots.

The shot was not too bad. The size of the needle and how it is done is the same as last time I did Gonal-f. The only thing different was that it stung a little. I could feel it for a few hours and the injection site was irritated and red but not for long. I will do this for 2 weeks to suppress ovulation. I stop birth control pills in 2 days. I am looking forward to the side affects being gone but they will come back with the other meds.

So far so good and still sane....for now.
