    One was a drug and one was a placebo - don't know which was which, or which drug it was

    Are you going to get Follistim at all? Sorry, I know you told me but I get confused.  Not sure if you're even able to talk about it, understand if you can't.

    I don't think I had much of a sting from the follistim - I only remember the burn from the Repronex  :P

    Damn. Maybe I don't know which drug I am getting after all. I was thinking it would sting, but neither of them really did.

    It depends on how I am doing in a week - I inject myself with whatever I have now (follistim or placebo) and then in a week Dr can start giving me (or adjust my dosage of) follistim to get my ovaries finished up and ready to trigger

    Follistim never stung for me.  Menopur did though.

    It IS happening fast! I am hoping my body develops quicker than normal, because if I follow an average schedule, I will trigger on Sunday, November 21, ER on Tuesday, November 23, and then Transfer on Friday, November 26. Which means then I would have to go to my IL's for Thanksgiving. Angry

    I am CD14 on Thanksgiving.  I could be doing my first IUI that day too.  How weird.  We are like, almost on the same calendar!  I think I trigger anywhere from CD12 to CD?? depending on follie size.

    I don't remember the Follistim burning, but the Menopur definitely burned.  I had to let it sit for a bit after mixing it before injecting and it didn't burn as much.

    So excited for you!

    I used Gonal-F instead of Follistim, but it is the same kind of drug.  That never burned for me.  But like pp said, the Menopur definitely burned.
