First Lupron Injection=not bad

Except for the fact that DH put the alcohol swab over the injection site after removing the needle! Made it sting a little-lol. He promised not to do that again! The best part is that I went to Acupuncture right afterwards so I feel pretty good! So 1 down-lots to go!

That's great!  You just get used to it.  I remember my first injection (not Lupron) took me at least 5 minutes to work up the courage to stick in the needle!  Now I'm an old pro!

I hope the rest of your injections are as easy as #1!!

I'm glad to hear it went well.  Like the other poster, I had to work up the courage to give myself the first one.  And while I still get a little anxious when I have to do it, it does get better.

A tip that was given to me was after you wipe with the alcohol swab, make sure it dries first before sticking yourself.  The alcohol can make the shot sting on the front end as well.

Continued luck to you.

Yay!!  Get some gauze pads to hold over the injection site.  After I ran out of gauze I would just use a clean cotton ball.  After a while you'll both be pros at it.  Good luck!!!!

I'm glad to hear it wasn't bad!! I give my first lupron shot tonight.  Do you know when you'll start stimming??

My Baseline is next Thursday the 13th. So if all looks well then I think I start stims on Friday the 14th!

I don't start stims till the 24th... feels like forever away!!
