Inections: day 6-10

The injections on days 6-9 were the same as days 1-5... 10units of Lupron.

No problems, no bruising, no pain :)

Below is a picture of the medication

Today... Day 10, I took 5 units of Lupron

I did take a video of me administering the shot to myself, but I'm having trouble posting it :(

Tonight, I will be starting 2 more medications along with continuing the Lupron (5 units)... Menopur 150 units and Follistim 75 units (both are injections).

I'm kind of anxious about tonights injections. The Follistim has a neat pen you use and the Menopur is suppose to sting going in. I'll post about those tomorrow.

Injections: day 5

Lupron 10units

This morning's shot went good, although I have a bruise (I think I put the needle in too slow, it actually stung a little too). I am almost ready to show my 4 yr. old that shots don't hurt...to prepare him for the ones he will be getting in December to start school.

Today is also the last day I take my Birth Control Pill.

I called the IVF doctor this morning and got answers about my polyp. She said that it would not effect the egg donation process. But if I was planning on having another kid, it may or may not become a problem for the egg to attach to the uterus. And she recommended I have my regular OBGYN look at it and see what he says. So other than having another kid, the polyp should not be a concern for me...what a relief!!!

Injections: day 4

Lupron 10units

Today's injection went well. I had an ultrasound appointment this afternoon that went okay...

They found a polyp in my uterus. I'm not sure what that means yet-if they are going to remove it or just leave it??? I'm a little nervous, how did it get there? Why is it there? Will it go away? Aren't I a little young for these? 29, really??? So, I sit and wait until tomorrow when I can call the IVF doctor and see what is going to be done.

Injections: day 3

Lupron 10units

Nothing new to post...administered the shot, no problems

Last night I looked up the side effects of Lupron injections and it is normal to have pains in the abdomen...not that they are bad, just kind of annoying.

Injections: day 2

Lupron 10units

Day 2 of the Lupron shot was a success...well kind of

I did everything right, but when it came time to insert the needle I must not have done it hard enough and it bounced right off my skin :) It didn't hurt, I laughed a little and then re-tried (this time with success). Still no pain from the shots.

I am feeling the same as I normally do. Yesterday evening I did have a little sharpness in my right side around the injection site, but other than the couple minutes of that, nothing.

Injections: day 1

Lupron- 10 units

I gave myself the first injection this morning. After watching a couple videos of other people yesterday on You Tube, I felt confident in being able to stab myself. Everything went good. I wasn't nervous at all...just kind of anxious to see how it felt. It was super-simple and I had no pain. There was a little bleeding afterwards, but no pain. The hardest part was hiding the needle from my 4yr old.

Clearance

Spoke with the lawyer yesterday, took her 30min to go over what I read in 5. She had to go threw each section and make sure I understood, of course I did the first time I read it.

I've been waiting since yesterday for the clearance and I just got the email saying the lawyer clearance me and the clinic is sending the meds.

I start the injections on Saturday...3 more days!!
