Motor Mouth

Well, I have been "shooting up" as I like to jokingly say to my husband every night. =)  It has been going very well.  The very first jab was a little unnerving at first.  I am not scared of needles at all, but I have also never stuck myself.  I had to count down and say, "1,2,3, go...".  But to my surprise it didn't hurt at all!  Easy peasy...until the next night I had too much confidence and stuck it in too slow that I had to start again.  I am now sporting a bruise in that injection site where, I had mutiple jabs.  The third night was the charm.  I didn't even have a drop of blood after pulling out the needle, and I couldn't even tell where I injected.  LOL!  I plan on having my husband give me the PIO shots just to include him, but I was watching y.ou t.ube videos of those last night and am pretty sure I can give them to myself if I had to.  Good to know in case he is not around at the time they are needed.

As far as side effects, I thought I was experiencing the common headache (known for Lupron) 24 hours after my first dose.  But I haven't had one since.  I have been having a sore throat and fighting a slight cold before I started the meds, so that must have been the headache's source.  Every now and then I feel some hot flashes and bit sweaty, but it is no different from the last few days before my normal period arrives.  I know this is only the beginning, but I am counting my blessings up to now.  (I hated the constant headache Clomid gave me for the whole month, even though you only take the pill for 5 days!)  The only side effect I have noticed, which is hilarious and not in the paperwork (LOL) is I talk alot!  I am typically a quiet and reserved girl (who will talk when needed) especially if I am in a public situation.  But I cannot control my mouth wanting to talk non-stop!  I had the same effect on the Estrace lining trial.  I wonder if it is the meds or the excitement of it all?  My best friend told me the other day that she has not heard me talk this much...ever.  So funny, but mentally disturbing to me because I am not used to voicing my thoughts all the time or putting myself out there.  I have been joking that this must be what it is like to be a "real girl" who likes to talk. =)  So I will stop talking/typing now....
