First Lupron Shot

Ok, so I took my first shot last night. After getting over the anxiety of it being the first shot it wasn't bad at all. I guess what I had been told about putting it into a fat roll was right after all. Now I just have to remember to take it. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not real good with a schedule.
Here's what all those meds are for: The Leuprolide (Lupron) is what I'm taking now. There is 14 doses in that one tiny box. I take that shot once a day from 6-8 for around 14 days. The Bravelle has 5 does in each box. I have 6 boxes. The Menopur has 5 doses per box also and there is 2 boxes of that. The purple boxes are estrogen patches which is for after the transfer. The 3 white boxes are progesterone shots. Those are also for after the transfer. The two white bottles I have no idea what those are for. I guess I might need to find that out huh! The other bottle I think is pain med. I NEVER take pain meds so that will probably be wasted. I think it's for after the egg retrieval. The small box is the Ovudrell. It contains one BIG shot. You take it the day before the egg retrieval. All the rest are needles and a box to put used needles in. Well I think that's it. Just thought I would explain. We are on Lupron only for the time being. I'll let you know when we move to the next step.
