Hi Everyone, after trolling through all the threads on here that were about a year old and getting caught up in everyone's stories (BFNs and BFPs) I decided to join up. I'm completely new to actually posting and replying on forums so there's a good possibility that I'll put this in the wrong spot

DH and I have been TTC for a few years now. My biological clock drove us to the Fertility Clinic where quick smart I was booked in for a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, dye test, d&c. They removed a fibroid and endo (which I didn't realise I had). Then I had a sonohistogram with DH beside me helpless as I layed there crying with the pain. Then I guess my FS couldn't see exactly what he wanted to see, so back into hospital I went, for another hysteroscopy. Phew! DH reckons I have the most expensive hoo-hoo in Brisbane!

We started on Synarel spray about 2wks ago. Didn't have any major side effects luckily although I have read on here that it really affects some people negatively.

Went back to FS yesterday on day 3 of my cycle, did an internal ultrasound, he said there were 5 follies on the left and 7 on the right. Is that good, bad, average??? He didn't really comment...

So, this Monday I start Gonal injections, he put me on 150mg (guess it's trial and error for round 1, right?).

That's where I am at, it's all new to me, and reading through these forums have certainly helped.

One question: I've read that taking the Gonal out of the fridge a 1/2 hour before injecting lessens the pain, but DH in his infinite wisdom believes that would be bad for it if I keep taking it out every morning. Your thoughts? I'm guessing if he really feels that strongly, then I'll just use Emla cream and an ice brick ;-)

I'm looking forward to following everyone's stories and sharing my journey - and if I slip up along the way and completely bugger up a post, be kind - I'm a newbie
