Well, here it is! My fun package of drugs and needles has arrived.... it was terribly fun to pull it all apart and look at everything. But sadly I must pack it away for now. Hopefully it will only be another 2 weeks (or less maybe?!?) until I get to pull it out again....
 |
| Everything, all together...seriously hoping they went a little overboard on packing needles...eek! |
 |
| The meds include Lupron, Progesterone in Oil (PIO), birth control pills, a steroid and estrogen patches. |
 |
| This is the enormous needle for the PIO. Sadly, the entire needle tip must be inserted into my rear end as it's an intramuscular injection. Thankfully, I don't think the actual injection will hurt much worse than getting a flu shot...but I'm guessing that since I'll eventually be doing this daily for several weeks, I can pretty much expect to have a sore bottom for a good long time. (it will be worth it) And since my husband (who has no medical training and an aversion to needles) will be doing these injections for me, I'm a little anxious about how bad the first few might be! |
 |
| This is the tiny (by comparison) needle for the Lupron injections. It is an insulin needle and only a 29 gauge. This particular injection is for my well-padded tummy and is only subcutaneous, so it goes just under the skin, rather than into a muscle. Yay! |
 |
| Just for comparison's sake... I think it's a safe bet to say the guy with the orange cap will be my favorite. |
