Re: Did my first ever Lupron shot today
That's great!!!
I have to say that IMO lupron was the easiest. Not the others are bad - I just "liked" lupron the most if that makes any sense
Good luck to you!!! It goes fast I promise

Re: Did my first ever Lupron shot today
I did my shots myself. And really, lupron shots are just like cross stitching needlework... A little pressure and poof- the needle goes in.
When I had to do my first IM shot in the tush I was SOOOO freaked out. I iced the spot and all, but it took me some time to do it. Well, I said to myself that it would be just like Lupron.... a little pressure and poof- the needle would go in. Truthfully that is actually how the IM needles have happened for me every since. It is amazing how the body makes way for these needles to go in.
Good luck!!!!

Re: Did my first ever Lupron shot today
Your IM shot will be the HCG shot that you take to make the eggs mature. That is done two days before your egg retrieval and is a times shot. That is an intramuscular (IM) shot with a big 1 1/2 needled in the tush. You may also need to take PIO (progesterone in oil) which is also an IM shot.

You'll be fine! The IM shots are only so bad the first day or two and then your body really gets used to it!
good luck
