It's been nearly a year since I injected myself with anything so the sensation was strange and I hesitated a little. Lupron needles are nothing, yet it looks immense when you haven't done it in so long.
Anyhoo, it's a good warm-up to the enormous PIO that's to come. :)

Yay for you - I know I'm sooo not looking forward to the endless barrage of shots, I think I start June 5. But, like you said, I am hoping they go on a really long time! Do you have to do your PIO shots yourself? I've done a couple, but thank g-d my DH does most of them. I would do it if I had to, but it is kind of nice to have one aspect of IVF that the responsibility doesn't rest on me!
Meh, the PIO is not that awful. I expected much, much worse. The fear was worse than the actual shot. The geyers freaked me out, especially when I had about 5 in one week towards the end there... you're gonna' just fine though!
And personally, I would much rather do the shots on my own. I like the control. And I think if my husband ever hurt me, he would just lose it. Not to mention getting a geyser. I seriously think he would have passed out if he'd gotten one of those... lol So much for the weaker/stronger sexes, eh?
Every day is one day closer. You're getting there!!
Shots are not fun, but the reality is they really aren't THAT bad, but I remember how freaked out I was the first time I had to do it. I'm sure it felt similar since it's been so long since you've shot up! Glad to hear things are starting for you - hope all continues to go smoothly.
Yay for being off and running!
