I came home today to a big box of all my meds that I have to take throughout my IVF cycle. I knew it would be a lot of meds...but I was still surprised to see just how much was in there. For those who know me really well you know just how much I hate to take medicine. It makes my anxiety really bad. I could care less if the shots hurt, it's the side effects that scare me. The shot that I started tonight Lupron had a list of side effects a mile long. So all day I just told myself it was worth it for the possible outcome.
Tonight was my first night to start giving myself shots. For the next nine days I have give myself one shot of Lupron. After going to the shot teach the other day I felt confident that I could do it. So I pulled out my instructions, filled the shot (Thank God it was a tiny needle), and gave it to myself in my stomach. It honestly didn't hurt when I gave myself the shot, it just stung a little afterwards. Now I have a small red blotch on my stomach. Overall it was really not a big deal :)
