all the crazy shots all at once!

I got the 'go ahead' from the nurse after my estradiol level check and FDA blood work. so tonight i injected for the first time: lupron 10, follistim 125, and menopur 75. 

although the follistim injection had the most medication, i liked it the best because the needle is hidden in a pen thing, so you cant actually see how much medication you are putting inside yourself. that part really really tripped me out with the menopur. 

and yes i recorded myself again. i hope i dont normally look like that when i talk, cause i make some goofy expressions! i'll blame those on stage fright. 

so here's attempt 1

and then after fumbling with my paper instructions and rereading the menopur part and contemplating calling the fertility doctor to ask him if that really was the amount i needed to inject, and then deciding i was being a big wuss - i continued and injected the three. 

i did a couple things wrong with this injection: 

i didn't pinch the fat - which risks putting the medication too deep. 

i didn't look for a prime droplet at the tip of the needle - which risks injecting an air bubble.

other than that, i think i looked goofy as hell. so you dont get to see it. ha ha.

i'll show it when i do everything right. like tomorrow night. i promise

side effects for these drugs includes stomach aches, pelvic pain, etc. it has been a few hours since the injection and i feel perfectly normal.
