Had my first lupron injection tonight and it wasn't as bad as I expected. I got so worked up over nothing! Whew! Now I don't have to fret about it all day every day.

    The needles are very small.  I agree that don't hurt that bad.  Now Follitism shots...they suck.

    Glad it wasn't a problem.  I posted this on the IF board but I swear I think I have dull needles or the skin of an alligator.  I'm having a hard time getting the needle in with the Lupron - the Gonal F pen is a breeze though.

    I had to watch a video on YouTube to get motivated. It really helped. It was under MrsStephanie Lupron. Where are you in the process?

    Good for you! I was so scared and didn't have my DH around. I really didn't have a problem with either, though. It's not that bad : )

    Good for you!  I didn't think the Follistim was so bad.  I was waaay nervous too.  Now that I've survived, I kinda like that I was able to do it.  Chalk it up to one more life experience!

    I should clarify - the needle penetration wasn't bad - it's the fact that once I have to push the dial in...I tend to twist the needle in my belly more.  Once I started adding the follitism to the mix, is when I wound up with lots of bruising.
