Countdown is OVER!

The countdown is officially over and IVF #2 is in full swing! My meds arrived a day later than I expected. They were scheduled to arrived on Thursday and when they didn't, I PANICKED! When I called the pharmacy, they said there was a hold up with my insurance. Wait, what?! I know my insurance doesn't cover fertility drugs and reiterated this several times. I finally go my package on Friday, which was still a day before I was to start the injections. This is what came in my package....

So, Saturday I started lupron injections. I get 20 units in the morning and 20 units at night. These are a breeze and I honestly don't feel much. The anticipation is the worst part because I am terrified of needles. On Sunday, I had to add 2 injections to the 2 lupron injections I was already getting. The gonal-f injection wasn't bad either and I knew what to expect from last time. Then came the menopur injection. I read online that it burned going in. Well, I wasn't expecting it to burn as bad as it did! The needle itself was the same as the lupron and gonal-f but the medicine going in was horrible. I am dreading the next week and a half of this. Not to mention, about 10 minutes after the injection, I started cramping. This was something new. The only side effect I've experienced so far this time is a never ending headache from the lupron. I've had a headache since Saturday morning. I'm allowed to take tylenol only but I'm trying to tough it out. I figure the less I put in my body at this point, the better?!

My next appointment is on Thursday and I'm hoping for a rising estrogen level and lots of growing follics! Until then, it's 4 injections everyday and a never ending headache.
