Yesterday we started with the injections of the second hormone, Menopur, the real stuff! The follicle stimulating hormone in this medication is prepared from human urine and encourages my ovaries to produce several egg cells (women normally release only one egg a month). This is to ensure a sufficient number for the in vitro fertilisation, so that the hospital can pick the prettiest egg cell to inject Jonny's most handsome sperm cell into.
The FSH is supplied in the form of ampoules,
which contain a powder that first has to be dissolved in the accompanying fluid; Jonny mixes the injections at our kitchen table. Each morning he gives me a shot with two ampoules and one at night. And doing very well at that: no bruises so far! We also continue with the Decapeptyl injections, to make sure my own cyle does not interfere. On Friday 18 August we'll find out how many follicles are growing!
