Today is Day 4 of injections and I now have 8 bruises on my legs! The Follistim injections are not near as painful as the Menopur (which is a constant burning sensation all the way down my leg while I inject myself for 30 seconds!) but they are all leaving bruises! I have always been one to bruise pretty easy but I thought for sure I could master the art of stabbing myself without leaving a bruise....maybe I can achieve this sometime during the next 20+ shots!! =)
Tomorrow is a big day in our process. I go in for the first ultrasound since the start of stimulation drugs and we will see how the follicles are growing. Tomorrow will set the stage for the remainder of this process and we need LOTS of prayers tonight/tomorrow. Please pray that my body is responding to the stimulation drugs and we have an abundance of follicles on our ultrasound tomorrow. We need all the prayers we can get! =)
