It's Done!

We just did all 3 shots! Once again, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm glad, though, that I have my husband to help me with this - to draw up the medication and to make sure everything is just right for the shots. I'd be too anxious on my own. He even thought to bring in his CD player so I can listen to some soothing music while setting up the shots, then doing the shots. He asked me what music I wanted and I said Sarah McLachlan would be good, so he brought me the Afterglow CD and also some other music he thought would be soothing like 10,000 Maniacs Our Time in Eden CD and also some Metallica CD (the last one obviously to make me laugh as nothing Metallica has done would I consider to be soothing).

A question I have though is that they gave me 10 vials of the Menopur, but possible retrieval was supposed to be on the 25th, which would mean at least 11 days of taking the medication. Should I be asking for some more? It seems silly to order more for just 1 more vial.

And a comment on the Gonal F pen - though it is very cool that we don't have to reset the pen for each use, it is kinda weird to use - you have a needle in you and you are pushing down on the plunger as it clicks. It is just the clicking I find kinda weird.

Another question I have is - do you sit down or stand up while giving yourself the shots? I was sitting down, but I decided to stand up tonight or just lean against the bed. I'm not sure which I prefer.
