Getting Ready For Shot Numero Uno

Tomorrow is my first shot of Lupron. I'm actually excited - is that weird? My husband and I attended our injection class yesterday and there weren't any real surprises. I'm glad we took it so close to my first shot so the info is still fresh. I think my hubby is still a little nervous about the IM shots but he'll get over it.

Here's my protocol:

May 23rd - start Lupron
May 30th - expect to start Gonal-F and Menopur
June 10th - estimated egg retrieval
June 13-15 - estimated egg transfer
June 29th-ish - Pregnant?

I'm trying to remain cautiously optimistic. Part of me is very hopeful because I was just pregnant 6 months ago so we know things work - I just had bad plumbing. On the other hand, the whole process is SO dependent upon everything being perfect and that makes me cautiously realistic. Don't get me wrong - I'm not stressing or anxious - just thoroughly evaluating the situation and trying to prepare for the best or worst.

Good luck with your first shot! I didn't think the Lupron shots were too bad - the needle is pretty small, as far as needles go! Good luck with everything. :)
