Trouble TTC

1st Night of Stims Done!

I did my first Gonal-f and HGH injections tonight!  It wasn't bad at all.  The hardest part was reconstituting the HGH.  I think the hardest part for tomorrow will be getting the second dose of HGH out of the vial.

    Ah, gotcha!  And you'll be fine getting the remaining dose out of the vial :)  I've done it twice now with my gonal-f and it wasn't bad.  Just sort of draw the needle out as you're pulling the plunger down.

    Thanks!  I hope it is that easy!  There is no overfill in these vials.  I put 1 ML of diluent and I am supposed to get 2 .5 ML doses out of the vial.  Kind of freaks me out because each dose costs me $125!
