Stim Day 2

AM Meds:
Lupron- 5 units
Follistim- 300 units
Baby Aspirin- 80 mg
PM Meds:
Menopur- 150 units

Side effects:
HOT FLASHES are back. Big time.
Still tired but might still be the stupid head cold.

Overall today's injections went much more smoothly. I think I mis-injected myself with the follistim pen on Monday and injected closer to 275 units as there was extra medicine in my pen today. The cartridge I had loaded Monday was 300 units. It should have all been gone after that first dose, right? This AM I used it and it had 100 left in it. Perhaps there is always extra meds in the pen, but I'm guessing I under dosed myself on Monday. Hopefully that won't be a problem at the appointment tomorrow. I will definitely let Dr. Opie know what happened, so he has that in mind when the medicine levels are adjusted. I'm excited to see how the follicles are developing and finding out what my hormone levels are. I'm not excited that the appointment is so late in the day. My boss is having a virtual day and working from home. She has a meeting at 10:30, so hopefully I'll be in by then.

I seem to have more energy than last weekend, which I think means I'm finally getting over the stupid cold. Now if only my cough would go away...

Sometimes there's extra in there...I used Gonal F, but my 1050vials had 1200 in them.

Good luck!

Thanks Murgdan! That's what my nurse said too. It was a big relief!
