    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!)

    Cool

    Hey MurrayCod..

    Yep.. I am at Repromed Adelaide too...

    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

    Anyway! Keep in touch xx

    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

    omg -- I had a TOTAL meltdown two days ago - absolutely RIDICULOUS! My poor, poor husband!

    I am also completely freaked out by the Orgalutran needle... it's so much thicker! And bigger! Must be brave... must be brave...

    The Ins and Outs of Needles

    Hello Ladies!

    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....

    Let me know how you both are...

    Cheers
    Moonflower

    four and a half hours to go til i experience the wrath of.... ORANGUTAN!

    I have to admit, I am a compete woosy when it comes to needles... and I have been actually icing my belly before FSH - and it hasnt hurt one bit - sometimes I cant even FEEL the needle go in... definitely will be taking the same approach for Orgalutran.

    Thanks for the "take it slow" advice... I am sure hubby thinks he's a pro now and would have become all macho cowboy on me... and I am sure it would hurt. My FS nurse said it hurts more because the needle is a whole lot thicker... and because the liquid is a whole lot thicker too. SO.... slow is the go.

    Anyway... I'm sure this is all childs-play in comparison to contractions and birth

    Ha!

    Talk soon xx
