I couldn't bring myself to stab myself quickly with the Gonal-F needle again. I watched with horrible fascination as the needle entered my skin slowly... and I definitely felt the Gonal-F needle go in this time-- I think I may have been pinching the injection site too hard. Next time, I might try just injecting the needle without pinching at all. And the thought I had to help alleviate the sting from the Menopur shot is to, 1) bring the diluent-- the solution I use to mix up the Menopur powder-- to room temp before using it tonight, 2) ice the injection site before inserting the needle.
In terms of side effects, none noticeable yet, except I feel like my face looks really bloated-- but that may be my imagination.
I've written my doctor this morning asking him to contextualize my course of treatment. I do not expect tons of attention from my doctor, but I do expect someone to let me know why I'm taking the amount of medicine I'm taking, and what exactly the follicle count pronouncement means ("six on each side").
