Lupron Injections a go....

Wednesday I started Lupon.  Lupron is used to suppress my ovaries from ovulating!  This is the first shot I will ever have given myself!  Lupron is to be administered in either your abdomen or upper thigh.  I decided to try right under my belly button, I thought it would hurt less.  Though I talked myself into and out of the shot for a good couple of minutes ,when I finally did it I felt accomplished and very excited with all that the future holds with our IVF cycle. 

Some of the side effects I noticed on Lupron, cramping and abdomen pain, hot sweats( like a menopausal women),  and dry mouth( almost immediately after sticking myself with the needle).  Other than that I think the Birth Control I was on for two weeks before had worse side effects.  I hate birth control and I am so glad it was temporary!

Me and my Lupron shot have found a comfy medium and I am now used to it every morning.  I will continue on 5IU a few more weeks until its go time! 

Here is the YouTube video I watched before giving the injection for the first time.  This lady is so confident and nonchalant about the shot, it made me feel more at ease!
