This is day 4 of injections and while the side effects are few, there are a couple. Some mild headaches here and there and some achin' ovaries. I never knew you could actually feel your ovaries until now - I guess that's what happens when you put them in overdrive. I imagine they're having a little party in there - my ovaries are gettin' high! Well dear ovaries, amidst all that partying, I hope you are cooking up some good eggs!
But so far, I'll take these side effects over the side effect from my one cycle of Clomid. I was on the lowest dose of Clomid and I had hot flashes. Hot flashes in my sleep, hot flashes at work, hot flashes everywhere. Not. Fun. All I could think was if this is a preview of what menopause is going to be like then I want no part of it.
This morning I had to go to the clinic for bloodwork and ultrasound. Waking up early on a Sunay morning to be poked and prodded with a needle and an ultrasound wand is not the best way to start your day. But it's amazing what becomes your new normal after doing it so many times.
Injecting is quickly becoming my new normal too. Mr. Scout and I went to another couple's house for dinner last night. I took my drug paraphenalia with me and injected in their washroom. Shooting up in other people's houses - so this is what it's come to eh?
Oh, and one last thing, apparently the only time having a nice flat stomach isn't a good thing is when you have to find enough fat to pinch to insert a needle. Who knew!
