And the fun begins first shot today!
Today And i'm still a little squeamish!!!
This morning at 7 we went over to my parents and DH gave me the shot of Lupron. He started to push before he even got it in stomach so i don't know how much even got in. I'm just hoping we did it right. They have the lessons online which we watched but i need to really do it myself to understand. Tomorrow we go in for the injection teaching class since i couldn't make it last week.
I still don't think i can do this myself :( (mostly because i'm top heavy and can't see my stomach past my boobs)
How soon before the side effects start? I know i shouldn't think about it but i know i've heard a lot about lupron.

Re: And the fun begins first shot today!
congrats on starting your cycle! I havent started the shots yet myself, but i can imagine how hard it is for your DH to give you one or for you to do it yourself!
Best of luck during your cycle!
Also, the only thing i have heard about Lupron is hot flashes, but i haven't start it yet so i can't be sure

Funny thing is that DH really wanted to give me the shots. At first when we started to talk about it, my mother was going to do it. Then after a while he told me he was hurt that I wanted her to. I think it helps him feel like he's part of the process.
I've heard about the hot flashes and i just commented to hubby in the cold weather it might not be a bad thing LOL. I'm FREEZING right now.

Re: And the fun begins first shot today!
I haven't had any side effects from Lupron besides the burning on injection (my family actually thinks I'm nicer).
I sit for the injections and curl my body (back out...I have big boobies too). Then I grab the med and stick it in close to my belly button... not really close (on different sides each day). It hurts less this way. I stick it in all the way, wait, then press the syringe, then after it's empty, wait 2-3 seconds & pull it out. been doing it for about a week now.
Good luck partner!
