Lupron Straight Up Please!
That is how I roll these days...It wasn't so bad. I have been fretting about these abdominal injections, but I have to say... when all was said and done. It wasn't so bad!
I think Gary enjoyed it a little too much though! :)
I'm over from NCLM to say hi. I wanted to wish you the best of luck on you cycle, it sounds like things are going great! You pictures of you guys are fun to look at. I love it when people post pictures, it's nice to have a face to go along with the journey that I'm reading about. I try to do that at least some of the time also on my blog. We just got done with our first IVF cycle this spring and are expecting our first at the end of the year. I hope you have a smooth cycle as well, with lots of good things to come!
Looks oh-so-familiar! Except the stupid girl at the pharmacy locked the sharps container and when I got home, I couldn't open it! So I ended up cutting a hole in the top. The lupron isn't too bad...I have doing it twice a day since May 30th. It will get easier and easier...I basically do all my shots now without batting an eye (my DH is horrible at it!)
They're not that bad, not that bad at all, much better if you get a sadist to perform you the little favour...always hurts less if someone else does it!

Yeah, one down!!! The first one is always the hardest.
Hola! Thanks for visiting & the comment :)
We are starting our first cycle next month & I am scared to death of these shots! Not to mention I will have to inject myself :(
But, it's worth it in the end, right?!?
Oh & you look soooo familiar to me!
I'm glad the injection wasn't as hard as you anticipated. I hope this is the cycle for you.

Wishing you the best of luck.
Thanks for visiting my site.
The first time is the most difficult. The others will get easier.
Good luck this cycle.
By the way, I have tagged you for a meme. You can find the info on my blog.

Good luck to you! I'm glad the shots aren't too terrible.
And how sadistic of your hubby :)
