Day 5 of Antagonist Cycle.....

.....and I am speechless. I thought I could handle it. But it's quite tough with all the injections. As you can see from the chart, I am on day 5 and I have 2 injections daily. I suspect I might even have these daily injections till Day 12 of the Antagonist cycle. The tummy is so sore that I dun even know where H should be injecting?!?!?!?!? I inject at 12-12.30pm daily. It has been 3 hours and yet, the tummy still feels pain! Nothing internal, just the external where the needle went through. This is the mental stress that everyone has to handle. It's really tough for those who are going through IVF and holding a job at the same time. Wow......

and it's tiring to go to the hospital for 3 hours every 3 days.

:(

Another mental stress coming up - Egg retrieval.

Worry:

1) Not enough follicles. At the moment, only 2

2) Dr Tan is not the one doing for me

3) Some people experience pain. I have a super low threshold for pain......

I came across this video. You might like to take a look. Nothing gruesome but it helps you to "prepare" for the egg retrieval process. I was cringing all the time, wondering when a gruesome picture will come up. But the doctor was just explaining the process, the equipment etc.
