The lupron injections so far have been a piece of cake, for
Hunnie! Haha He has been my saving grace the past 6 days. I did not realize I
had such an aversion to needles until the syringe was in my hand and I could NOT
do it myself. I just cant picture puncturing my own skin *shivers* Each time Hunnie
does it for me I hesitate, tell him to “wait..wait wait!!” and then when it is
all done I always say “oh that was not bad at all!” it is not painful, there is
no tenderness or sore feeling at the injection sites. There is some bruising but
that’s just a cosmetic annoyance, and there is no side effects that I am
feeling thus far. I am off the horrible birthcontrol pills they had me on that
put me on the verge of feeling sad and mad the majority of the time. Knowing it
was just the pills helped me get over it, cheer up and carry on. No one likes a
grumpy mommy and girlfriend so there was no other choice really. So now that I
am off the BC pills I am as happy as can be again. I like this happy mommy MUCH
better (I am sure everyone else in the house does too!) all that said, tonight will be the first night
that my dear boyfriend will not be home on time to give me the shot! I will
have to do it myself!! Thought my darling 7 year old has made it quite clear
that she is more than willing to do it for me if I chicken out again. Of course
I will HAVE to do it myself, there is no way around that but I picture it being
similar to the Blue/Red pen scene from the Jim Carry movie “Liar Liar” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jiDa5KJ1ww) Why am I
such a baby about it? I am happy to pop out 1-2 babies in 10 months with no
pain meds but somehow this tiny little needle haunts my dreams. This needle is
not even the bad one, the next one is about three times the size, I am told
that one (for progesterone) is not fun, painful, takes forever, and leaves
bruises and sore tooshys. Well I have approximately 16 more weeks of needles so
this mama has better suck it the heck up and get used to it! **or just steal
one of hunnies beers and gain some liquid courage while I still can :P
