Morning all! Gorgeous day here... and DH is planning on getting the BBQ out so no cooking for me!
He always does a Sunday roast, so no cooking at all for me this weekend.
MrsJA - The second jab did hurt yesterday... more of a sting than anything, but definitely felt it. Within ten minutes I had the huge red/white lump again. Looked bit like a huge insect bite. But just like the day before it was gone within a couple of hours. All I have today are tiny red dots, and a faint bruise where I did my first jab. You did a test injection on your leg? My nurse gave me a little square pad that is supposed to resemble flesh and I just put it over my leg and did it that way... no pain
I don't think there is a technique... I was told to simply stick it in, no faffing around or it
will hurt.
Cazd - Yes, I'm on Buserelin for DR. I have to take 0.5ml every day. I was hoping the injections were going to be in my tummy too... there's a lot more padding there, so I was figuring I wouldn't feel it but no... in my leg
I was told the only thing I might hit/burst was a blood vessel and it would simply bruise. It was day 2 of DR yesterday but last night I was getting a lot of twinges. Did you have anything like that? The nurse said I wouldn't get any side effects until after the first week, but something was definitely going on down there last night lol. Or maybe it's the Metformin but it's never been that bad before. I'm going to be taking Gonal F for stimms... the nurse said I could turn in to a she devil, with mood swings, and being tired and irritable. DH said he's ready for it...
As for how I feel... mixed feelings. I can't believe that after three years of struggling to get this far, that it's actually happening. So I'm definitely excited. But now that PCOS has come in to it, I'm worried a little, ok a lot, that when it comes to EC, all my eggs are going to be useless...
