Ok, so today is Day 5 of taking Lucrin. The needle itself is tiny. They are the same size needles used by diabetics to administer insulin, hence their size and ease to use. Im a huge whoos when it comes to needles. Having a father as a doctor, i would huddle up into my mums lap while he gave us flu/hep/travel shots etc. so as you can imagine, with no lap to huddle into, and an inexperienced administrator, im usually an anxious mess by 9.55pm! There is no way i could inflict any sort of pain upon myself, and there was certainly no way i could ever give myself a needle!
So trusty ol' DH has been allocated the job! Well why not? After all, he has to play a part in the whole process too! So while he fills the syringe with 10 units of Lucrin, i stand there numbing an area of my tummy with an ice pack! Yes i know, it sounds like a drastic measure, but honestly, i dont even feel the needle go in! An he is doing a super job of making sure i get my fix at 10pm each night!
For the first 4 nights, we couldnt even see where the needle had gone through the skin, thats how fine the needle is! But last night, although i didnt feel a thing, the site bled after the syringe was removed. I wiped it up, thinking nothing of it. Then this morning, i woke up to this!!!
It doesn't hurt as such, but feels a bit bruised and tender to touch. Hopefully it will be gone in the next day or two!
