Richard gave me the first injection tonight. The anticipation was far worse than the actually pain of the needle stick. It is sore now though and I got a bit nauseated after (then again, I had chili dogs for dinner and they did not bode well with me at all!) I do think that my belly will be quite sore for the next month. The first drug is Lupron which is a supression type drug. It actually works to completely shut the ovaries down. Once that is achieved, we stimulate the ovaries! Crazy huh? Shut them down just to stimulate them again! That is the way things work though in this IVF protocol.
One down...too many to count to go...
