Were you on lupron shots?

Question

I have endometriosis and have been trying for a second child for 15 months. Today the doctor is putting me on lupron shots for three months and than we're going to try clomid. Did you go on lupron shots? Where do you get the medicine from? Where do you inject it? Does it take a while to get your period back? Did you get pregnant? Thanks!

Answer 1

I was on Lupron as part of an IVF cycle . . . so I can only answer a few of your questions - hope this helps!

We did the Lupron shots, very small syringe.  I had to "suck" if out of the vial into the syringe and inject.  I was injecting it into my belly / abdomin.  I would clean a small area with an alcohol pad, pinch a bit of skin and inject.  It was a very small pinch and didn't hurt.

We got all of our fertility meds from Village Pharmacy:

http://www.villagepharmacy.com/ - they shipped everything to our door and were great at talking me through the how-to's of using everything.

I know that I cannot answer most of your questions - but hopefully this will help a bit!

Good luck and baby dust!
