Drugs

I thought I'd post a picture of all the drugs I get to take every day.

I figured out how much money I inject into myself daily... it's a lot.

So the needle with the orange thing at the end is for the Lupron, that's the stuff that I've been injecting for a week and a half now.  The pills are my prenatals, and the other needle is used for all the other vials along the top row.
I take 1 mL of the sodium chloride (grey lid) and mix it into a vial of Bravelle, suck it back up and then squirt it into the next vial of Bravelle and so on until I've mixed all 3 vials of Bravelle plus the vial of Monopur.  These drugs come as a powder and I think it looks cool how the powder just disappears when the sodium chloride hits it.  This is what it looks like


This stuff is a lot thicker than the Lupron so it hurts like a mother when I inject it.  But it will all be worth it in the end.

Today I cried for like 30 minutes for no reason.  Really?  I've only taken the shot for one day and I'm already this emotional?  Yikes.

    I find it rather fitting that it hurts like a mother (;
