You are a better person than I if the strongest thing you said was "good grief" for something that hurt so much!Skye @ Planet Jinxatronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07516561141953659264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418750682151340976.post-73172114045866769922009-11-06T22:24:47.726-05:002009-11-06T22:24:47.726-05:00You know, it isn't the needle that hurts.

I talked myself through it and did some controlled breathing. At least if they up the Menopur dose, it won't be more liquid, just more powder mix. I have another u/s tomorrow, we'll see how things are going.Wifeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00150363286304868180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418750682151340976.post-80888085077295068772009-11-06T15:35:32.669-05:002009-11-06T15:35:32.669-05:00Oh no girl! I really hope it gets better for you!...Oh no girl! I really hope it gets better for you! I am doing the Menopur also - 75 IU, (the same as you, I think) and it doesn't burn too bad for me. I found that sitting down while I pinch the skin is easier. I have read that some people ice their skin before the injection, although I've never tried that.<br /><br />I will send some prayers your way!! Just think how much all this will be worth it in the end! Good luck! Hopefully you will just have this one cycle to deal with the shots :)The Mrs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05019909701958421298noreply@blogger.com
