My period started today, so I will go to the fertility clinic office on Wednesday to have bloodwork and an ultrasound to determine if I am "down-regulated". If I am, I will stop the Lupron and start on the next round of drugs. I am supposed to continue the nightly Lupron shots until my office visit.
The shots have been going well, with the exception of two nights ago. I was rushing around, trying to get Ryan ready for bed and decided to just give myself the shot while standing up. There is a reason that they tell you to sit. I couldn't get a good angle and it hurt like hell. So I sat down and tried again. It was easier but it still stung much more than usual and it hurt for a good twenty minutes afterward. Last night I did it in my usual reclined position and had no problems. Lesson learned: stop rushing, take the time to do it properly and it will work out fine. (Kind of applies to life in general, too.)
