I am so glad your body cooperated! By some crazy fluke... I got my period a week and a bit early... also on the 31st... I was straight on the phone to Repromed - and the nurses were so fantastic... they had me come in within the haf hour and I was learning to jab myself!
I'm on 150iu Gonal-F... getting hubby to do my injections... he's nearly a pro now
That is so great FGSlim!!!! Woohooo!!
Yeah my DH does all of my injections, slightly looks forward to it now I think
Tonights one hurt a bit, my tummy is getting slightly tender now, but there is no way I'm going to complain, im too excited!
How are you feeling??
Do you go to Repromed in Adelaide too??
The nurses there told me that there were several girls along with me just squeezing in on the 'Eleventh Hour'!!
Good luck to you, I hope that we can all keep in touch through this XXX
Moonflower sweetheart how are you going?? I know you are a few days ahead of us! Anything to look forward to?? (perhaps an even more tender tummy!)
My hubby also gets this cheeky grin when my 9pm alarm goes off for FSH injection... lol...
I am doing really well... I have had a CONSTANT headache since starting Gonal-F - but I dont know if it's due to the Gonal-F or whether it's because for some messed up reason I also decided to go cold turkey off caffeine that day
Fair chance it's the caffene!!!
Just had my first crying session after my FSH tonight, no idea why! My tummy is getting a bit tender. I don't feel moody or hormonal, just cried for absolutely no reason!!
To be honest I'm not looking forward to having the Orgalutran tomorrow night, those needles look a bit scary
Just returned from a few days down the coast. So pretty down there. If only I could win a bazillion dollars and move there permanently! Sadly, back to work for me.
I'm seeing talk of the Orgalutran (or as I call 'em, the Orangutan) needles. There is nothing nice to say about them except that it will make you appreciate your FSH injections more. I can give you some advice. Make sure you inject slowly, like over a count of five seconds. My first I did quick and it hurt like hell and I got a very huge, very red reaction to it. I also have to hold my breath as that sucker (the needle, not me - although sometimes I wonder) is larger. My next two I did a lot better. It hurts and I get itchy from it but it's not as horrendous as say, getting a needle in your butt.
My good news is that I am feeling better, not so angry. God is granting me peace at this time, that's for sure.
I'm glad to see you MurrayCod and Fatgirlslim are doing well. FGS, you can be brave. If your DH is giving you the jabs, just close your eyes. MC, I'm sorry your tummy is tender. Mine is okay, a little bruised and hurts for a few hours after the Orangutan but that's about it.
I'll be thinking of you both (my jab time is 9pm too FGS) tonight and am sending calming hugs your way....
