Day 7

So i started the Ganirelex Injection today and i must say the look of the Injection was much more frightening than what it really was. I was very Oily but didn't burn when I injected it. The part that hurt the worse was the Injection site, After I removed the needle their was an Instant burning and Itching sensation around the Injection.

My side affects yesterday were more Nausea than normal and a slight Head Ache and extreme fatigue.

Day 6

So today hasn't been too bad, Much better than Yesterday. No head Ache so far and not as much fatigue as normal, Only Discomfort. I had to drive with my pants unbuttoned because i am getting so bloated and full from all of the follicles developing, He he. Oh well just gives me another reason to lay around and do nothing.

Another Injection

Since my Dr said that my Follicles are developing so well and quickly he has put me on another Injection Separate from the one I already do, It is a pre filled syringe and it is to keep my body from Ovulating prematurely. I start thins Injection tomorrow (Sunday) I am a little worried though because this is an Oil based Injection and those always hurt the worse. Oh well i will just "Grin and Bear it"

Day 5 and Ultrasound

Today we had our first ultrasound and blood work today, I was nervous and first but than excited. i had posted earlier that they had found a Cyst on my left Ovary from the Birth Control Pill I was on, Well the Ultra sound today showed that the Cyst has been getting smaller so that was good news and even better news I have 16 Follicles (egg's) so far! My Dr was very excited.

I start another injection called Ganirelix injection on sunday along with my other Injection, This one is to keep my Ovaries from prematurely Ovulating. We go back on monday for another ultrasound and said that we should know when our Egg retrieval will be on Monday.

Today has been the worst out of the Past 5, I had a HORRIBLE head ache and am starting to feel very bloated and full from all of the follicles developing, They said that they will grow to be about the size of my thumb right before the retrieval and with 16 follicles developing this isn't going to be comfortable.

Day 4

Todays side effects were worse than the past 3 days, I had a horrible Head Ache for most of the afternoon the kind that hurts when you move your eyes. I came home from work and got into bed and took a 30 minute nap that seemed to help. i gave my self my Injection at 4:00 again today, it is getting easier and easier every day I do it. Today though I started to have cramping on the left side, My Ovaries are working. 

We have our first ultrasound and blood work tomorrow, They are going to check my ultrasound and count how many follicles have started to develop. 

We will keep you updated!

Day 3

Today was a good day, Only slight Head ache today as far as side affects. I am still doing the same injections and baby aspirin daily at 4:00pm. Today I did give my self the Injection in my abdomen instead of my thigh, I thought the pain would be worse being in my Abdomen but it wasn't as bad as I thought. 

On to day 4!

Day 2

This morning I woke up with a bad Head Ache that lasted for most of the afternoon, Head Aches are one of the side affects from the Injection. For the most part the Day wasn't so bad, Mark was home today so he got experience the whole Injection process with me. I am switching Injection sites every day from one thigh to another, I am allowed to to it in the Abdomen but with how it burns when I give my self the Injection I thought I would stay away from my abdomen.

So far so good!
