One Down: 13 TO GO

STOMACH SHOTS....... Started this morning, Lupron at 20 units. Karlis and I draw the shot up together. My biggest fear is getting the dose wrong and messing everything up for the entire cycle and wasting such expensive medicine. I give the shot since it is in the stomach. It hurt worse than I remembered but I might have just hit a sensitive area or maybe it was because when I cleaned the area with alcohol I didn't let it dry first... Ouch. So we have 13 more until we switch over to hip shots. I feel a little more agitated, hot, tired, have a headache.... but is that just normal woman stuff or Lupron stuff?? Who knows. I did a refreshener on Lupron....it is a chemotherapy drug used for advanced prostate cancer. So good news.....no prostrate here so that is safe. For me it will crash my estrogen levels and put me in menopause. My doctor is officially taking control of all my hormones. Bless his heart...what a job.
