We jumped through a very traumatic hurdle tonight with Ed giving me my first IM shot directly into my upper butt region.
We attempted it about 4 times before successfully managing our nerves. What I felt the most was a slight pinch when Ed carefully and slowly inserted the needle. I was amazed at how much longer it took for the medication to dispense.
Ed will give me this shot of Estradiol twice a week - Tuesdays and Fridays - for a couple of weeks. We will continue with the nightly Lupron shots for a couple of weeks to ensure my ovaries stay quiet (bummer).
Tonight I also start lovely vaginal suppositories at bedtime that assist in building the lining. Plus I will start baby or low dose aspirin nightly.
Also, the best of all is I didn't have a period this month probably due to the birth control pills and Lupron combination. The doctor gave me a transvaginal ultrasound yesterday and confirmed everything looked normal. Plus my Estradiol levels were low enough so we were able to start injections tonight.
We feel like were moving quickly. Hooray for that. Goodnight and thank you for your continued support.
