I've been taking Lupron injections for over a week now, and it's been a piece of cake.
Truly, the needles are tiny, and you don't feel a thing when it's going
in.
Today I added Gonal-F and Menopur to my daily injections. That's...one...two...three shots! Not only
did it take 20+ minutes to mix everything up (I was a little paranoid about doing it right), but I also feel like my tummy is
now a pin cushion. I did the Gonal-F first and right away noticed a difference
in the needle. It's not that much bigger than the Lupron needle, but it is
bigger, and surprisingly, I could tell. It bled a little afterwards and was sore. Next, I did the
Menopur. I'd heard from a friend that this one burns going in. And that was
definitely an accurate statement. Ouch! Finally, I ended with the Lupron,
because I knew that one was easy. And it hurt too, which shocked me because it never hurts! I tried to use three
different injection sites, but I'm wondering if I was too close to where I administered my first injection.
Anyway, this is what I get to do for the next 10 days.
I'm thinking some pre and post icing is going to be in order.
Oh well. Could be worse...
