Day 6 Shots – Menopur & Follistim

Monday February 20, 2012

Tonight I gave the two shots to myself.  I prepped the syringes, iced my inner thigh and breathed deeply.  the first shot of menoopur was not to bad.  The stinging sensation was different, I guess I am not use to that feeling in my thigh.  I then gave myself the follistim shot.  This one is easier since it is a cartridge type pen.

When I removed the shot cartridge I pulled it out crooked.  Well that hurt like heck and made me bleed more than expected.  Based on the angle of my thigh I did not realize I was pulling it out crooked. Uuuuuuugh!!!

Well this will be the only night I will need to give the shots to myself.  I received the estradiol blood work results back today.  The estradiol number now is 158, which means the medicine is working the way it should.
