Injections Class & More

Just wanted to give a little update on my appointment today. The injections class was just us, so that was nice. She told us that they think that the woman should give her own subcutaneous (sp?) shots as it would be easier for her to grab a hold onto the skin better, or something. So it looks like I'm going to do those on my own at least. However, she and another nurse both said it would be o.k. if we waited until 10 to do the shots, but we shouldn't go too much after that. So I might, at least for the first few shots, wait until my husband came home just so I can have some kind of support when I do it. My husband would have to do the IM shots though.

After that was the bloodwork (as usual, I felt like a guinea pig or science experiment or something since two of the assistants had to confer on how best to get my blood with my teeny tiny veins) and then the papsmear. The doctor also did some other test to determine how far back to put the embryos when it comes to that time and something else that I'm not exactly clear on. There was quite a bit of cramping afterward, but everything is fine now.

Anyway, that's all. The first shot of Lupron will be next Tuesday night! Eek! And also eek, another $500 spent today since the stuff today isn't covered under the shared risk program!
