Good evening. It has been a rough day today. My cd8 appt. went well. Right had size 15, 14, and smaller - left had size 12, 10, and smaller. They were pleased, but I feel this isn't many follicles, but what do I know? Lining is 8.3. They gave me the cetrotide 3mg and my stomach is red, welted, and very painful. I can't stand to touch the site and still have to inject there. Not happy here. I also had to do my first mix of gonal-f and luveris, that had my nerves through the roof. It brings a whole new level of anxiety using real needles vs. nifty pens. I am feeling pretty weepy and all that fun stuff, I am sure it's the hormones. This whole process is starting to wear on me.
Re: This is getting harder
Ouch!
My thoughts are with you...hang in there!!!
((BIG HUGS))
Kona - I think its very hard. I was so glad when I got to my last day of injections - I would wake up every morning and think pls pls don' tmake me do this.
Hang in there and {big hugs}
((hugs)) It's such a hard, trying process. I know that when you're in the midst of it it seem endless. Just keep your eye on the prize, one step at a time. For now think of the day between trigger and retrieval when there are NO SHOTS!
Just wanted to let you know I understand, and I have so much sympathy for you.

I'm so sorry. Are you icing before and after the injection? That is supposed to help with the pain. I wish we could make this easier on you.
