YEOUCH!














So I started "stimming" this Sunday here is a pic of the updated meds I am taking every morning. Yes, there are 2 shots there. 1 is for the Lupron which makes it so I don't ovulate and lose all my eggs, and the other is 4 vials of Bravelle and 1 vial of Menopur, all 5 mixed in with 1 1/2 mL of solution. It is quiet the ritual every morning, takes probably 5-10 min. to get them all out and mixed and cleaned and injected. I am probably just really slow because it is all new to me, but still talk about a morning killer. Also, the new meds SUCK they burn like CRAZY so I have to go super slow. I also am left with big bruises after them, it is really gross to look at. There will be a bruise the size of a dime or so and a HUGE white welt the size of a half dollar or so. Not very attractive. I am assuming the bruising can be attributed to the baby aspirin thinning my blood so not too worried, just looks gross. Don't feel any eggs growing (yet) but I am sure that will change. No appointments till Thurs. and it is just a blood draw, all the cool ultrasounds start Sunday!
