First Lupron Shot

Well, I had my first Lupron shot on Sunday. The whole night before, I had nightmares about the shot (that I would butcher my stomach, that the needle got bigger, that I overslept, etc). I kept waking up every 2 hours thinking it was time for the shot. I prayed each time, and it allieviated my anxiety, and I woke up at exactly the right time (10 min before my alarm). I mechanically gave myself the shot, and was like "that is it?". It wasn't too bad at all. The 2nd night, I dreamt peacefully. :)

As a reminder, the lupron supresses my cycle, so that I don't ovulate on my own. It has to be given at the EXACT same time every morning(within a 30 min window).

P.S. This weekend was fabulous. We stayed at an awesome B&B, and relaxed. It was definitely the break we both needed.
