My Tummy is a Pin Cushion

I've been taking Lupron for over a week now and it's been a piece of cake.  Truly, the needles are tiny and you don't feel a thing when it's going in.

Today I added Gonal-F and Menopur to my daily injections.  Not only did it take 20+ minutes to mix everything up, but I also feel like my tummy is now a pin cushion.  I did the Gonal-F first and right away noticed a difference in the needle.  It's not that much bigger than the Lupron needle, but it is bigger, and surprisingly, I could tell.  It bled a little.  Next, I did the Menopur.  I'd heard from a friend that this one burns going in.  And that was definitely an accurate statement.  Ouch!  Finally, I ended with the Lupron, because I knew that one was easy.  And it hurt too!  I tried to use three different injection sites, but I'm wondering if I was too close to my first injection one.

Anyway, this is what I get to do for the next 10 days.  Could be worse...
