I did it!

I am happy to announce I made it through my first Lupron shot! Last night, I was really nervous beforehand thinking about what was to happen at 9pm. Al and I had ice cream together for a little "shot treat" and then we watched the training video one more time to get ready. It took me a second to go for it, but it actually wasn't that bad. There was a little stinging sensation for a minute or so but no blood. My stomach had a red circle around it and a small bump for about an hour but that's it. I guess I can handle that. (Although I am nervous to do it again tonight!) Everyone will be happy to know that Al made it through the shot just fine too and never even got queasy! He is really getting good at this medical/ pregnancy stuff. Way to go honey! I talked to R afterwards to give her the update and she said it will only hurt the first couple of times but after that I should be totally used to it. That is good to know. Here are a couple pictures of the big event. (Ignore the stomach fat please!)

Oh my Good Lord.... if that is stomach fat I don't even want to know what I have!!!

CONGRATS!!

I just found out the clinic my IP's are using do not do PIO! So I am SO relieved that I won't have as many needles as I thought!!!

I was thrilled when I found out that news too! I can't imagine doing the PIO shot. It looks huge! Congrats on the good news. Does that mean you will be doing suppositories instead for progesterone? That is what I have- Circrone. I will be starting that in August.
