Day 1 & 2 of Ganirelix

My follicles are growing!
Last night I did my first Ganirelix shot!  Ganirelix is a suppression drug that comes in a pre-filled syringe.  It is supposed to make sure my follicles don't release the eggs.  The other two shots I do each day make the follicles grow.  Anyways, the first day of Ganirelix was hard!  I thought Menopur was painful, but this one was impossible to get into my skin.  I actually ended up getting another shot to see if the needle was just dull on my first one.  Nope, they were both just difficult to get in.  I knew I had to do it though so I finally shoved it in.
I hit a blood vessel doing Gonal in the morning.  I thought the liquid was all the way in because it stopped letting me push the top in.  I took the needle out and my skin started to bubble up and bleed.  I then checked the dosage and missed .25 which meant putting it in again.
Today's shots were much easier!  YES!

Unbelievable what pain you'll endure to have your babies! You already are showing what a great warrior mama you are! Hope tomorrow goes better and pain-free! Love you! Mom
