Successful First Butt Injection! (video)

I did it! Even though I was super nervous, shaking, and got the nervous sweats afterwards it was not bad at all! I was so anxious about this shot that I nearly forgot to do my Lurpon injection haha This was last night and I'm happy to say that I don't have any soreness or lumps today but, I know this is the lowest dose I will inject intramuscularly so I don't expect the rest to be this easy. 

What is Delestrogen and why do I need to take it?

Delestrogen, also known as Estradiol, is one of the types of Estrogen that our bodies naturally make.  Estradiol plays a role in SO many important aspects of the female body, from bone health to egg health to reproductive capabilities.  There are so many things that Estradiol affects but for my purpose, we are focusing on it's impact on the lining of the uterus.  Right now, we are trying to bulk or "fluff" up the lining of my uterus to be more receptive to the eggs when we transfer them.  Estradiol is the key to a fluffy uterus and is primarily secreted from the ovaries during reproductive years but, since I'm taking Lupron and it's job is to shut down my ovaries, I will be giving myself twice weekly doses of Estradiol via my bum.  These will continue for about three months, until the pregnancy is good and settled into my uterus and I begin making sufficient hormones on my own.
