I started my meds yesterday. Lupron (0.1 ml) twice a day and Follistim (150 IU) once a day.
I woke up yesterday excited and ready to go. I decided to try and give myself the injections. I was scared shitless but I DID IT!!! Not to bad. No real pain involved UNTIL around 3pm when my head started killing me. I felt woozy and just overall crappy. I left work at 5pm and was in bed by 5:45pm. I was asleep in no time. My husband woke me up for my 7pm shot. The plan all along has been for him to give me the injections. I got everything ready so that he could just give me the shot and be done. He had the needle in his hand and I was pinching the skin on my belly. He stuck the needle in and immediately pulled it out. I was shocked and asked him in a tired confused voice what happened. He thought he stick my finger. GOOD TIMES!! So he tried again and all went well. I went right back to bed.
I woke up this morning feeling much better. We did the shots again but this time I was laying on the bed so he had a better view of my belly. Everything went smoothly. He was very careful and it didn't hurt a bit.
This entire time I have been afraid of the actual shots and haven't once thought about the side effects. I had no idea the side effects would be sooooooooooooooooo instant. I work with a girl that did IVF in November and she said she felt the effect instantly also. She helped me feel less nuts :)
So other than having a mild headache that seems to be creeping up on me again today and feeling a bit woozy, all is well.
Plan tickets are purchased (thanks Daddy D) hotel is booked, rental car is reserved, doggie baby sitter has been given his duties, luggage is out and the ball is rolling. I need to stop by a medical supply store this weekend and purchase something to keep my meds cold for our 15 hour flight.
Thanks to everyone for all of your love and support.

Yah for getting started! The pen was my "favorite" med bc you don't have to think, just turn the dial and stick it. Good luck!!!
Hello! We are visiting Dr. Anderson on the 10th. I was just wanting to get some feed back. Excited and scared at the same time. What you've posted seems positive. I hope your visit to AK is wonderful and dream fulfilling!
