I'm told antagonist cycles are better for those who overstim. But despite me overstimming quite badly twice, my FS kept me on down reg cycles, because they are a little harder to control, and I walk a very fine line between no response and too much response. Something about it not being possible (or harder) to change the dose of FSH, and I've always had to have my dosage cut back, but it needs to be high to get a response to start. I did have a down reg cycle where orgalutran was added (three injections per day - puregon, lucrin, orgalutran, fun!) to try to help keep my levels down.

As for the orgalutran injections... they are smaller than the trigger shot, so not the worst thing you are going to face in that department! Unfortunately, the orgalutran needles are quite blunt. I found that I couldn't get them in with a quick jab like the others, but they needed a bit more of a slow jab. It may help to numb the area with some ice before injecting, and make sure that you do the actual injection (pushing the drug in, not pushing the needle in) slow. I'd push it in slowly and pause briefly if it started stinging before resuming.

I hope that all helps, and good luck with the cycle!
