Tummy eggnog cocktail

After a couple of days of only taking Decapeptyl, last Tuesday we added the follicle stimulating hormones to the tummy cocktail. We use Gonal-F with the pen this time. Click and go. No more labaratoires chezcorcutt.

I still don't like needles. There is lots of trembling and quivering going on at hormones time. At my end of the needle. I close my eyes and tremble and quiver before Jonny actually sticks the needles in me. My tummy itself seems to protest this time around. I am starting to look like a pin cushion.

It's not that bad really. We have made a little ritual out of it. Jonny is my needle master and I just lie back and try not to giggle. Giggling makes my tummy muscles tense up, so it hurts more. It's over within a few minutes. And I always get a big kiss from Jonny. Then we get on with the rest of our lives. Trying not to let the IVF take over too much.

On Monday 6 November we'll find out how many follicles are growing in me.
