Day3 of stims...blech

I'm thinking this is probably my worst cycle so far and it's only been 3days of stims.

I HATE the Gonal-F pen. It is so user un-friendly and so different from the Follistim pen.

Somehow yesterday I managed to give myself a big 1" diameter welt. It's pink and puffy. Had I not injected several shots in that area I would have thought it was pink worm or something. It hurts like a bruise when I touch it.

Only 1 more day of the Repronex. I hate those shots the worse...they sting like a sun of a ____!

I have a lab appt. tomorrow at 9:15, and hopefully things are going well inside. I haven't noticed any discomfort in the ovarian area, but it's a little early for that. I think my last cycle I noticed it about 4-5 days before the retrieval.

A friend of mine from BBC sent me her unused PIO (she was allergic to it) and in the box she sent...she sent me the Willow Tree Angel of Hope orniment. HOPE seems to be my motto lately...it's what keeps me going. I can't wait to put my Christmas tree up now. It was very sweet of her to buy it for me. And very ironic as I bought the regular HOPE angel for a friend (Karla) for her birthday.

Along w/ the fun shots...I've come down w/ some icky bugg. I thought it was just allergies but Brad and I are sure it's more than that as I've been complete congested and feeling achy. Hopefully this will pass quickly!
