Ovarian Rude Awakening!

So, I'm trying to guzzle 3 litres of water a day, and I'm struggling! I'm just not used to drinking so much water and my bladder is protesting! The longest I have been without going to toilet is 15 minutes so far!!

Done my first injection last night, and it really wasn't bad at all, just a bit stingy towards the end of the injection and a tender area around the injection site. I woke up this morning and you cannot even see where I done the injection!

I can feel the niggles and twinges in my ovaries already! They are screaming at being woken up so rudely and dramatically! But the way I see it, at least I know the Menopur is starting to work!

Here are the pictures of each step of the injection.

Everything all set up to mix the liquid into the vial

Mixing the liquid into the vial, when the powder has dissolved I'm good to go, so while I'm waiting for that, I done my nasal spray.

Doing the injection into the left side of my belly button.

Bongo made me a hot water bottle and we snuggled up on the sofa and watched some NCIS, but I'm not feeling bad at all, I was expecting a lot more side effects, but it's only Day 1 of stimming so who knows what the next 9 days will be like.

My hot flushes seem to have ramped up as well, I suppose it saves on the heating bill!!

Hopefully, Bongo will have the courage to inject me tonight, which I'd like, as I think it will make him closer to the experience and have more of a 'hand' in it!

I'm hoping one or other of us will actually be able to video it tonight
