I went back to the doctor today...no follicles growing.  This was after Chlomid 100. So we are starting Menopur injections tonight.  I go back Friday for more bloodwork.  The nurse told me the injections would sting.  Anybody experience that?  Any other side effects?  She is supposed to call me later tonight so I will ask how long I will be on the injections.
Also, the doctor suggested doing this for an IUI, but said if I wanted to take it slower that I could do injections with TI.  Although he mentioned that if we do that I still would have to do 6IUI's before going to IVF (because of my insurance) and that this round of injections wouldn't count if we did TI.  I guess we will just do the IUI then......  
What is everyone else's experience?  I just feel like the 20% success rate in IUI sticks in my head..... it just seems so small.
Totally feeling lonely.  And having to do injections brings me back to a terrible time in my life.  I am totally fine with doing the injections- its just the memory.  After my pituitary surgery, went through radiation and then I had to give myself injections everyday for a few years when I was only 21.  I was a practically a baby-just a difficult time in my life, that's all. 
Feeling sad......
