And so, it begins

It's CD3 and I've taken my first hit of Gon.al-F, courtesy of my awesome husband who is always willing to help me out with the shots. Even though they're subcutaneous and via a superfine needle, I much prefer having him do the injections. Funny how we both find it so much easier to be the caregiver than the patient. Four more days of 150 units and then I go in for monitoring on Wednesday morning. I can't quite believe that this seems normal to me now, the hormones and the blood draws and ultrasounds.

  1. It's astounding how quickly the injections, the blood draws, the ultrasounds, everything become. Somehow the invasiveness becomes - second nature. I don't know how we make that shift or exactly when it happens, but it seems to happen very quickly for most women.

    When I came back to treatment the second time around, I wondered if I would be weirded out by all of it all over again, but it was... oddly like being back home again. There was a certain comfort in the routine and the process. It's strange how our minds work.
