Stim Day 1

AM medications:
Baby Aspirin- 80 mg
Lupron - 5 units
Follistim- 300 units

PM medication:
Menopur- 150 units

The morning lupron injection was super-fast. The follistim went well. I still don't think the pen is any easier than a normal syringe/needle combo, but whatever. I then realized about halfway through my morning that I forgot to check for the drop of medication on the needle of the pen before injecting it. Hopefully I actually got meds in me this AM.

Tonight's injection was easy. The whole reconstituting of the menopur was easy and it dissolved quickly. The syringe is bigger and a bit more awkward to hold than the itty bitty lupron syringes, but I was able to quickly stab myself and then s-l-o-w-l-y inject the medicine.

Side effects:
So far just really, really tired. But that is most likely a side effect of the horrible cold/coughing that I've got going on. I am a bit nauseous tonight after eating dinner, but not too bad.


DH came up with a cute nickname for our little embryo. But we need to figure out another nickname in case we transfer 2. He's adorable. Love my guy.
