Day 8

I have now been doing Lupron for 8 days. Injections are now crazy easy. I just wake up and give the injection, put the needle in sharps container and then eat breakfast. The only effects that I have been noticing on Lupron are more facial acne and headaches. The acne may be partly from the birth control pill that I am on. Unfortunately, with the headaches I can only take Tylenol, which doesn't work for me. I have figured out if I take tylenol with Coke it kinda works, so I have been doing that. It sucks because I gave up caffeniated sodas a few years ago for my migraines, but I will just drink them this month and then give them up again. Tonight I am taking my last BC pill and then my period should be coming soon...
That's where I am at now....

Number One

My first ever injection I gave myself went well. There were no issues, other than the skin around injection site was red probably 15 minutes. I was happy that it didn't even bleed.
Ugh after this is all over, I need to figure out what pill to go back on, Reclipsen is not it has gave me more acne than usual, oh well....

Lupron

The other day I picked up my box of goods: lupron, syringes, alcohol swabs, and intructions. I begin my daily morning injections and then eventually will add evening injections to my regimen. It seems pretty easy and the needle is tiny. The instructions for lupron are clean top of lupron bottle with alcohol wipe, with another wipe clean area where injection will go, put syringe in bottle, go to 10 units and make sure no air is inside, then squeeze fat, and inject. It doesn't seem to difficult at all. Headaches are possible with Lupron so I have already picked up sugar pills, I mean Tylenol to take as needed. Hopefully if I get headaches they will be manageable. I continue to take my BCPs for a bit longer. I finally told my dad what is going on, they only thing he said was so is it true that you may not be able to have kids down the road based on the septum. He hates needles so he has also let me know that he doesn't want to see me inject myself.
I will post tomorrow after the injection...
