I have found that Lupron was one of the easiest shots I have had to do. Tiny needle, I couldn't really feel it. I know that some ladies use ice to numb the area before they inject, but I've never done this. I hope it is super easy for you. The first shot is always the hardest. Good Luck!!

I am seriously the biggest baby in the entire world when it comes to needles and doctors, so if I can get through it, anyone can! I did not have Lupron in my last protocol and am starting it tonight. An extra week of shots this round, YUCK!!! It is very scary and overwhelming, but once you get through the hurdle of the first one, you will see that it isn't the worst thing in the world. It does get a bit easier each night and somehow becomes part of the evening routine. I had MH give me all of the injections, and I never even looked at any of the needles. That helped me not freak out as much. I would ice my tummy while I paced the room, sit on the chair, pinch my fat with my eyes closed, and then the deed was over. The further away from the belly button was less painful for me. The Menopur hurts like a $%&*@, so I would definitely recommend icing the spot first and go slow and steady with the needle when you get to that stage of meds. GL! You will do great!!!

The lupron injection is by far my "favorite". :) You don't feel that one, I swear! I agree with PP, the first one is by far the hardest but once you get it out of the way, you'll wonder why you built it up so much (but we all do/did it!)
