Morning Meltdown

Day 6. Finally after starting the IVF regimen six days ago, I just lost it. Following my daily morning shots this morning, I just couldn't stop crying. I kept telling DH, "It's hard." I think I said it about six or seven times over and over again. Don't know if it's the hormones taking over or I just have had enough of all of it. Can't believe I have another week to go of shots and stimulants. It's all so overwhelming.

The Puregon shot hurt like crazy today. The needle going in stung. The serum going in stung. I don't know if it's because my stomach area is getting oversensitive now. I had to wait a while in between shots and lay down. The Menopur shot was not so bad. The small needle went in alright just felt a bit of stinging as the serum was seeping in my body. 

I had some trouble injecting the Ogalutran this morning and getting the needle to penetrate my skin. Maybe it's because it's the first time I am doing it. Thank goodness the needle is so small, so I didn't feel it. When I pushed the serum in, I didn't feel any pain (yet). We'll see how it I fare tomorrow morning. 

My daily injection of Ogalutran. 

It comes in a pre-filled glass syringe. 

Injecting the Ogalutran inside me. I will continue to 

do this in addition to the daily Puregon and Menopur 

injections until egg extraction on Day 12 or 15.

I am still taking the Progynova tablets twice a day to thicken my uterine wall. Need to make sure to take it right after a meal. If I wait too long like I did yesterday, my ulcer starts to hurt. There was a warning on the box saying that it may cause a gastritis reaction. Now I know I have to remember to take it right away after I have some food in me and not forget. 

Taking it day by day. Just another week to go. We can do this.
