IVF Day 5

I think it's safe to say I've been relatively quiet this time round with treatment. No particular reason, think I'm trying to inject then push it to the back of my mind so I don't dwell on it. Work is keeping me busy and no huge news as of yet. Day 1-5 of gonal-f was fine, have a tummy is now covered with lots of tiny red dots where the injection sites are, but no bruising which is nice. Seem to be developing late morning/early afternoon blinding headaches this time around, I'm quite happy to take paracetamol to cope with these so no huge problem. First morning of cetrotide injection this morning to repress ovulation, this is where i start to get sore around the ovary region. I HARE the cetrotide injection, mixing the solution up at 6am when I'm barely awake is always a struggle, the needle they give you is much bigger than the one used for Gonal-F and it hurts. So I'm not loving this stage. Scan on Thursday to see how my eggs are getting on, this is where everything went wrong last time round. It's brand new territory after Thursday. Next big challenge?

  1. Good for you for taking it a step at a time. Definitely the right way to go. Crossing my fingers that those follies are cooperating!
