My belly now has 2 BFF's

Just started injection #2. WTF! My injection spot is blowing up and itchy as hell! Somebody should put me on allergy watch in case I don't make it through the night! (just joking, it's not that bad, really)

Thought i'd share a pic of the needles I'm putting in to me now, daily for another fucking week! I had gotten used to the screwy Puregon pen. The new one I feel is not really worth the effort.

The Puregon is to help grow my follicles and help produce as many of the little buggers as possible. It's delivered in a simple, if not screwy, easy pen device with a really fine needle. Though I'm pissed about the push mechanism, tonight I think I must have moved bits of fat around, it was wiggling so much, it's still relatively simple.

The Centrotide, the new one I'm taking (I've never ever taken this one before which is why a tiny bit of my paranoid personality is wondering if i'm having an allergic reaction) is just too much effort. It's supposed to stop me from ovulating too early. I guess that's rather important. But to get it in me is painful. The needle is longer and the amount of liquid to go in seems like alot more.

Then in order to get it ready to inject, you have to put a fat needle on the syringe, inject liquid into a vail, mix it around, draw it all up into the syringe, change needles, then inject.

May be fine for the mad scientist type (like G) who relishes all the mixing and needling but not me. Give me a convenient, efficient pen needle anyday!

So now my belly has 2 best friends every night and is starting to look a bit spotty with bruises and lumps. Not that it wasn't lumpy enough before!

Tomorrow I've got a blood test and my first ultrasound to check on follicle growth. God I hope I get a gentle person to do both!
