*Bang*

That time of the month has started. What does that mean? Meds, meds, and more meds. Again.

Med #1 - Clomiphene. 50 mg tablets, 2 by mouth daily on cycle days 3-7. Not too bad I guess. The information pamphlet says it is used to stimulate ovulation. I start taking those tomorrow.

Med #2 - Menopur. 75 IU, inject 2 vials subcutaneously cycle day 9. I'm not too sure what subcutaneously means exactly, but I'm pretty sure I can handle it. I have to ask the doctor whether or not I do it all at once or once in the morning and once at night. The information pamphlet for this one doesn't say a whole lot, just that it helps increase the chance of pregnancy.

Med #3 - Gonadotropin. 10,000U. The box says to inject intramuscularly. So again I need to talk to the doctor to see what days and how much to take. The information pamphlet for this one says its a hormone used to treat infertility in males and females. Yay! Hormones! Not.

10 pills and 3 shots doesn't seem too bad so far. I do feel a little overwhelmed and frustrated. But it's nothing I can't handle.

Paul's already signed up for injection administration. I think he likes playing doctor. ;-)

Right now it feels like we're at a horse race. After what seems like eternity stomping around the barn getting ready to go, we get rushed to the gate, and *BANG*  .... the gun goes off.
