lupron shot

i was watching somebody else's video on how to do a lupron shot, and they let the alcohol dry on their skin before giving themselves the shot. they said its so it doesn't sting going in.

so i did that this time, and it was like the good ol days of itch free shots. it was the alcohol on the skin that irritated my skin more than the needle. i think the wet alcohol on the skin got into the shot hole and made it bleed more also.

this time: after waiting until after i knew it was completely dry, i loaded the needle and i jabbed at the skin quickly poking through. didn't hurt more than a flea bite. shot the lupron cold. held the needle in the skin for 5 long seconds after deploying payload. pulled it out quickly. i thought it would be bloodless, nothing showed up for a while. then a slowly growing dot of blood expanded to the size of a neighboring freckle. no itch, no bump, just a strange sensation that theres something under my skin.

i still feel very energetic. I started my period last night. it was kinda thick and weak. the nurse says that unless i'm at "full flow" they'll still need to do the estradiol level FDA blood work. I'm glad because i want to go up to L.A. my best buds live up there.
