Tonight I added a medication called Ganerilex. So I'm taking a morning injection and two separate injections in the evenings. Tonight was the first time I had a hard time giving myself the injections. First, I injected the Menopur. I must have went through a vein because blood came out with the needle, quite a bit of blood. It created a bruise instantly and a lump. It hurt and still does. I'll ask the doctor about it in the morning, I have an 11am appointment. Second, I injected the new medication, Ganerilex. The needle appeared slightly larger than the others... and it was. I tried to poke my left leg because I had just injected in my right. I couldn't even break the skin, it hurt, and I think it was a bad place. I didn't force it. Generally, the needles will ease into the skin without a struggle. So I found a new spot back on my right leg and prepared to force it in. I got the needle in and it hurt. A small amount of blood came out with the needle. Now both of my thighs are sore. I'm glad this happened on day 7 and not day 1. Only 2 more nights of the Ganerilex. I can get through that.
I had quite a bit of discomfort in my abdomen today. Felt like I had drank too much water and went running, but instead of the cramps in my side it was in my lower abdomen. Still feeling tired. Mood is still positive. =) I'm excited to see my progress tomorrow and find out when my retrieval will be.
