Menopur
Vinjosmom-Menopur frequently stings for me as it's injected. Is that the kind of pain you mean?
I think it's quite common to have black and blue marks on your tummy from the shots.

Kelly - good luck with your upcoming 'cinco de mayo' retrieval! I will pray that your e2 levels come down so that you can go straight thru with ET.

Okay Ladies,
I just started stims today. The Menopur went fine this morning but tonight the big dose of Follistim was different than any other injections. This dose is more than double the amount I was using for my first IVF. The injection didn't hurt, but I could feel the medication spreading under the skin and it burns. Has anyone else experienced this?

It did sting but then it felt like someone had kicked me and I felt a lot of pressure on my stomach and chest. It went away since then. Maybe I'm just being a baby but I think I will ask my nurse about it.

Wow, they are going to be really busy! This morning was really busy too because my visit was at 7:15 and I didn't get out of there until 10:20! Every seat in the waiting area was full......  They called me this afternoon and we are set for the ER at 8:30 Mon. I hope everything goes great for you and maybe I will see you there.
