Bee.. 5 straws are a good number. I think they hold .25mg of fluid (we went through donor sperm and had only two straws).

Bubbles - inject the same as the other injections. I laid on the bed and got DH to jab me with the needle - it hurt a little more than the gonal-f injections (slightly bigger needle) - but get it in the fat on your tummy (if you have any) and it isnt' too bad - plus if DH does it, you can chat to him about something else and he can just jab you.

Aleenta - sorry honey that your cycle got cancelled. At least they will have a better understanding of your bodies reaction to the drugs
