First needle - no going back!

It's done now, first needle's done. First dose of 300 Puregon has entered my jelly belly. Thank goodness that i have enough belly fat to take the needle. (seriously, what do skinny women do!?)

Though i'd try to do it myself but in the end I couldn't bring myself to do it and my mother in law, who's an excellent nurse, helped me poke it into my belly. I then pushed the button and in went the dose.

It's actually rather hard to squish belly fat, poke a needle into your skin and hold it in while pressing down on a pen syringe that doesn't go straight down but rotates down instead.

Good news though, it didn't hurt too much. Not at all going in and only a little at the end.

So we've started officially our 5th ever IVF cycle and now there is no turning back.
