It hasn't gone too badly so far and I can now inject quite easily without stressing about it beforehand.
For the Gonal F injections I wasn't icing my tummy beforehand and they were fine, but I had heard the Cetrotide was horrible to inject so I made sure to ice before doing it.
It was absolutely fine, I had worried for nothing but I have kept up with the icing for all injections now because it simply makes it easier.
I have put together a photo tutorial for injecting Cetrotide for anyone who is going to do short protocol. Or for those just a little curious :-) hopefully the photos will display in the correct order!
The side effects haven't been as bad as I expected so far. It is hard to tell which are as a result of the drugs and which are because of this hot weather. I have felt hot and bothered, had headaches for the last two days, bloating on my tummy, hit and miss appetite and just generally felt down and emotional.
I am drinking lots and lots of water as this is recommended to avoid hyper stimulation.
I have my first scan tomorrow so will update you all then. Hopefully they will find lots of lovely follicles growing!
Love to all xx
