So we did the first night of shots, about an hour ago. It was not
fun. The Lupron is just little diabetic needles and I find those easy, but
these two new shots were a whole 'nother story.
The Menopur has to
be mixed- you have to combine two vials into one, and replace needles, and it
all has to be sterile. The Follistim comes in a "pen" which has to be
loaded and then "dialed" to the correct amount. The Follistim wasn't
too scary but the Menopur had a HUGE needle! The needle hurt, and the liquid
burned as it went in. It bled for several minutes afterwards, though just a
little bit.
But I survived, and B is doing all the mixing and giving me the
shots (except the Lupron, I can keep doing that one). Only 7-11 more nights!
Although none of this is fun, I am so relieved and grateful that
we made it to this point. Last time around, when I had to have the surgery, was
such a disappointment. I am full of hope that in 3-4 weeks, I could be pregnant.
Off to get ready to go out to dinner with friends now. Looking
forward to the evening out.
