If I'd been out 'til quarter to three

One thing I've have been hesitant to mention is how much the Lupron injections hurt this time around... tons more painful than I remembered.  I really have to jam the needle in and the injection site often bleeds and bruises.  This puzzled me because I remember Lupron used to be the easy injection - it never hurt (not compared to Menopur or those awful IM shots of progesterone).  I figured I must have gotten really wimpy in my old age.   But now I know the real reason.  Those fancy needles that came with my prescription were freaking HUGE!!!!  I used the last one on Friday so yesterday I cracked open the bag of insulin syringes and look at the difference!!

Which would you rather stick in your tummy?

I've been torturing myself for no reason, I could have been using those lovely 8mm 30 gage insulin syringes the whole time!!!  WTF!?!

In other news, yesterday I dropped Lupron to 5 units and started estrace, 2mg a day.  My headache was gone within 6 hours.  Yee ha!    Although I am apparently still a raving lunatic experiencing some irritability.
