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....
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
Only an hour and ten to go for your big injection gals. I think icing the area is a great idea! If it helps you, I leave the injections out of the fridge for 10 - 15 mins to get to room temp. It's better for me that way.
You'll both be fine. I'm sure of it.
And you're right, contractions are going to be way worse so I'm considering this as a warm up.
Phew! All done! Didn't even sting like I thaught it was going to!! Bit hot and pinchy now, but not like I thaught it was going to!!! XXX
FGS hope yours was easy too X
And thank you Moonflower, so nice to hear that you are in better spirits sweetheart XXX
