I’m now on day 3 of my hormone infections. I am taking 10 units of Lupron (leuprolide) via an insulin needle. I can receive the shot in my thigh or my lower stomach. I have been using my stomach, I am not sure if I can give myself the shot in the leg. The belly is freaky enough. I have to pinch a little skin, this is not an issue as I have been eating and eating and eating lately. This makes the shot a little easier to take. When I have been thinner it seems to hurt more. During the last round of egg donations I was thinner (it was summer) and I sustained many bruises on my stomach. I do the shots myself, I clean the area with an alcohol prep pad, clean off the top of the Lupron vial, up cap the syringe, draw the medication, pinch a little flesh and pop the needle in. It’s not pleasant but it really doesn’t hurt.
I stopped the birth control pill on Friday, this means I might get a period again! I hope I don’t get one I really do not want 3 periods in a month. My poor sweetie won’t be able to deal with me. This also means that my boobs are going to shrink a bit, this makes me sad. Then again, they might not be as sore. My belly is a little puffy, I’d like to think it’s from the hormones. That is wishful thinking.
