My First Injection

Today was my first injection. I'm not going to lie...I was really scared once I started getting everything out and prepped to actually do it. This medication requires mixing a pre-filled syringe with a powder then injecting that into your stomach right next to your belly button. This was one time I was happy to have a bit of excess flab there!! Of course as I am taking off the needle cap I accidentally stick my finger and it starts bleeding everywhere - only me! Anyways the needle went right in and it wasn't too bad actually - I think it was more of the anxiety of thinking about it. It started to feel a little sore right after so I iced it but I SURVIVED! So now I have 2 more days of this same shot and probably less than a week of the estrogen patches.
