Meds Arrive!

Yay!  My meds finally got here!  Things are starting to get real now.  I'll explain what I have pictured, but everyone is going to be SO different so you may have a totally different concoction.

1) Gonal-F.  This is a pen injector so you don't have to draw up any medication, you just change the needle tip each time.  This medication helps to grow your eggs.
2) Lodose HCG.  This one you do draw up.  I did it in a small insulin needle so it's really not bad to inject!  This one also is helping to grow your eggs.
3) Cetrotide.  This is the most complicated one of the lot.  Each box comes with everything you need though, so that's helpful!  It comes with 2 vials, one is a saline solution and the other is a powdered medication.  You have to draw up the liquid with one needle, inject it into the powder, then redraw it in the needle and inject yourself.  This med helps to prevent ovulation so that they can decide when you ovulate.
4) Pregnyl.  This is part of the "trigger shot" to induce ovulation.  This is another one you have to mix yourself before injecting.
5) Lupron.  This came as a pre-filled syringe so you just have to attach the needle and go!  This is the other part of the "trigger shot" to induce ovulation.  More on that when we get to it.

As I mentioned previously, I bought some of my meds overseas.  The gonal-f box is entirely in Dutch(???).  Not sure exactly what language this is!!  But there are great videos online to teach you how to inject each medication.  I HIGHLY recommend checking out Freedom Med Teach before injecting anything.  They give you step by step instructions so it doesn't matter if you can't read the box ;)  

I start injecting on Friday!
