Here We Go!

I had an appointment today after work.  I had a cyst check ultrasound and everything looks good!  We had to bring all of our medications with us so they could go over them with us.  At the last appointment they gave me a paper with all of the tentative dates from now until the egg retrieval.  That sheet said the injections would start on April 27th.  Well, today we found out that one of the injections starts today!!!  I started on Lupron tonight and then tomorrow I have to start doing it in the morning.  Then I start two other injections on the 27th.    I was afraid that I would not be able to do the injection by myself.  Dave was on stand by to do it for me but I was able to do it.  And he took pictures while I was stabbing myself with a needle.


I was so scared about the injection.  I was pleasantly surprised that I could barely feel the needle going in.  But then when I pushed the medicine in it kind of burned.  I am not sure what the purpose of this particular medicine is but I will try to look it up.

I think it's funny that the shirt I was wearing for the start of the injection process says "It's only going to get phunner"  (Phillies merchandise always spells things with PH to be catchy.)  More appointments, more injections, but hopefully ending with a beautiful baby!
