Starting Lurpon today...

mcduff · 03-27-2006, 11:53 AM

I'm so anxious to get things going. I was told to take the shots b/t 6-8 pm. It's only 2pm........AHHHHHHHHH. It's going to be a long process. I'll have to remind myself that I was once anxious to get shots....I am sure once I start the IM shots, I won't be so excited!

bopsvw, you are SO right....hurry up and wait! By the time this is all over, and I get a BFP...I will TOTALLY forget about the length!

Tinner2-Thanks! Let's GO!

I'm such a sissy! I kept staring at my "pinched inch" and then at the needle, at my stomach and then the needle. I chickened out and had hubby do it. The anticipation is the worst. I'll have to try it on my own tomorrow.

McDuff- Yeah! You did it! I'm one day behind you so I guess we'll be cycle buds!

Good luck!

Tara,

How cool!?! So, this means that today is your first day, YAHOOOOOO! I noticed your login name "mathgeek", what do you do? I am a self-proclaimed "Dork", I teach English at an alternative educaiton high school. Cycle buddies with a fellow "geek"/"dork"

(just kidding!). Let's hang in there for the next 6 weeks or so, then we can celebrate our BFP together! Rock on, sister!

Oh boy. I am doing the same thing. I haven't even been able to load the syringe. I am waiting for Dh to come home. Doubt if he will help me, but he can at least watch.

I don't know why I am like this all of a sudden about giving myself an injection. And I am stressing about where do I do it, do I refrigerate afterwards, do I rub, or not rub?

And the most important worry:Will I get headaches?

Isn't it funny how we once were afraid to get shots, but now we actually look forward to getting them?!!?

You'll get the hang of it & if you never do any of your shots, then so be it! At least every day & every shot gets you one step closer to making your baby dreams come true!!

Congratulations on getting started!!! Good luck!
