Horrible shots!

We started the shots of bravelle on Monday this week. I for some silly reason thought this shot would be just like any other shot I've taken. The million different shots I did through all the cycles of iui's we did after trying for a year and a half. But no this shot was way different. Its not what I usually am on so it was new altogether. First of all the needle is allot thicker so trying to get it go into my belly wasn't fun. 2nd my poor husband wasn't really thinking about the fact that this was ALLOT more liquid in this shot than the usual 75-150 units we are used to. He always helps me do my shots. It helps him to feel like he's really a part of it all and its nice having him there to push those meds in. So back to Monday night. He starts to push the meds in and OH MY SWEET GOOD LORD IT HURT! I started crying, there was no warning for the tears. It felt like someone stuck a hot fiery knife in my stomach from where we injected the meds shooting all the way up to my belly button. It just took me by surprise, I did not like it. To make matters worse we had to do a second of those shots right after that one on the other side. Meanwhile my stomach has a pool of medicine sitting under the skin, red and itchy and stinging. We made sure to inject the second shot ALLOT slower. But still it really hurt.

We've done them all week now and its getting easier but I was in shock by the reaction from that shot. I don't care how much it hurts, I just want it to work. But still it hurt.

Also I should mention that I went to see my in town dr. (who I love to death) and they counted 9 follies on one side and 14 on the other. It sounds like its not much but they are trying a new thing on me. They are trying not to get to many eggs since my problem is ovulation and not something further they feel like they can have more than enough to fertilize and freeze some if we only get 20-30 instead of 50 or more. So I feel like that dr's appt was a good one.

We go back on January 5th to see how big they are. Grow follies.

We had a great new years eve last night celebrating with our close friends. I attached a new 2009 picture one with my husband and the other with my best friend.

Happy new years everyone.
