I screwed up already

As I was sitting at the computer tonight waiting for 5pm to roll around, I had a slight panic attack and asked the hubby to go make sure my Lupron was safe and sound next to the minced garlic in the fridge. He said he couldn't find it. I got up to help him locate it and discovered I had left the vial on the counter ALL DAY. 11 damn hours it sat on the counter. In a panic I called Nurse D's cell phone. She assured me that it was okay to use again, that they just required you to refrigerate Lupron to prevent bacteria from growing. She said if I wanted I could call Freedom Fertility and ask them to ship me another vial but I don't want to do that. I just can't believe that I forgot to put it back in the fridge. And it's only my first day! I knew I would screw this up somehow.

I did it!

I gave myself my first injection! It was just Lupron though. It didn't hurt a bit. That's probably due to the thick layer of fat I'm wearing around my stomach. The hardest part about the medication was trying to hold the vial with one hand and the syringe with the other while sucking up the medication into the syringe. Practice makes perfect though. It's been about an hour and I don't feel any different so I don't know what kind of side effects I'll feel from the medication.
