So yesterday was Valentine's Day and my present was giving myself my first injection of Lupron. I am already on day 15 of birth control pills and the hubby and I are both half way through a week of antibiotics. Thankfully so far I haven't had any noticeable side effects to all the meds. I did feel nauseous yesterday morning but I'm thinking that was primarily due to anxiety over the shot coming up.
So since the hubby was working nights last night it was up to me to suck it up and give the shot. I did what the pharmacist said and numbed the area with an ice cube (might use an ice pack tonight though, less drippy!). I think that it did help, it was a weird feeling watching the needle go in my stomach. It only hurt a little when I took it out and bled just a drop. Of course when it was done all the thoughts go through my head of did I do it right, did I measure correctly, did I leave it in long enough or to long? I can definitely see the advantages of having another person there just to be a double check.
Well I have one more night on my own and then the hubby will be off work and he can do the stabbing!
