the injectables are a little more controlled. i went onto synarel nasal spray to stop my own hormone production, then after 14 days (and another BT) i went back and started the injections. i had to have a injection every night and yeah, i did them myself - all i can say is, if you have any needle phobia's, take DH along cos he can help you. i was able to do mine, but DH knew what to do if for some reason i wasn't able to do it myself!

apparently the injections work similarly to the tabs - increase estrogen levels to the point where you ovulate. we have to go through IUI - so once the levels are right (observed via BT), go for u/s to check follie development, trigger shot, and then IUI 36 hours later.

i was on injections for 10 days last cycle - unfortunately my body is as stubborn as the rest of me, and decided not to respond, even after injection levels were increased for a few days. as a result, treatment was stopped (though FS did say that some will continue increasing levels anywhere up to 28 days til O occurs - he didn't want to subject me to long term needles). next cycle (when i finally get back to it - damn this op!!), i will start at a higher level of injections for a few days, then reduce based on the recommendations of the clinic. hopefully i'll be kick starting again in the next week or so.
