lupron 11

i got a call this morning (a little too early this morning) that my estradiol levels are now low enough to begin with the follicle stimulating hormones. I will begin those on saturday.

no side effects to report. i feel normal. a bit of spotting today.

today's shot (15 U) didn't hurt going in, but pushing in the medication hurt a little, and then when i took the needle out it bleed a bit. like a drop that hung a centimeter down. i put a bandage on it. i noticed that a few dime sized bruises have formed down my outer thighs from the previous injections. no noticeable soreness. I think the more fat you can pinch the better. like when i inject in a place that has 3 inches of fat when pinched, the needle goes in really easily. like cutting butter. easy and clean and painless. i think when you have less fat like around an inch pinched, the surface area of the skin isn't as tight, so the needle doesn't cut in as cleanly. or thats my theory anyway.

I requested an expenses reimbursement form from the agency. I bought the birth control pills and the first train ticket with my credit card. I saved the receipts for the bus tickets too. that stuff is all refundable as donor expenses. Last donation it was hard to keep track of. so this time i want to start early.
