Oh please.....

I am an open book, which mean to say my IVF planning is openly known by everybody. IVF to people is well known for its injection, so these days my friends and relatives tend to fond of asking me these questions: "it is tough? is it painful? It must be hard for you" and most ladies' favourite comment is : "if it's me I won't have the gut to inject myself".

Oh please... Ladies, trust me, you have the gut, you definitely have it if you are in my situation. We women have the willpower which we tend to underestimate ourselves, I myself can't believe that I have been injecting myself for coming 3 weeks too, I have to admit that it is painful and there will be bruises but my willpower told me this is all well worth it.

Anyway what I hate most is those ladies already have kid or even pregnant tell me if they face this situation they won't be able to do it. The fact is you don't have too so please.... don't let your unnecessary brings down our morale. For me, I still can handle the comment but I do have a limit, just treat I am petty but seriously I do need encouragement as it not easy going through all this alone (although my hubby is with me by giving me spiritual support).

Especially now, I need to have 2 jabs per day, morning will be suprefact of 0.2ml and night with gonalF of 1.50ml. The injection is easy, just have bear the pain and poke yourself, gonalF injection is much easier than suprefact properly because it comes in a pen form and the needle is much slimmer. I am not sure anyone have side effect from these injection, as for me I do have. For example, headache, thirsty, tiredness and bloating feeling.

The nurse told me among these 2 jabs, gonalF cost the most, by looking at the packaging it very obvious to tell us the price of it. Anyway my review is this coming Friday, guess next week will the Egg retrieval week. Can't believe the days come so fast :) , I was so worried hence was forcing my hubby to follow me to pray just now. I seriously hope my first IVF cycle will be my last.
