Half way through stims

I'm still stimming away. Day 8 on Monday.

So far I've had eight blood tests (one per day) and three scans. I'm on 300 iu Merional and 75 iu Puregon - a quite high doesage in total making 375 of stimulating drugs. I'm also still doing the suprefact down regulating injection. Today I had to inject myself 4 times! Two Puregon pen, one Merional, and one suprefact. My stomach is getting a little bruised.

At my clinic they don't really tell you how many follicles you have, although I asked my doctor the last time I went for a scan and he said, "a few one on side and a few on the other." Clear as mud. I guess I'll learn more at the scan and blood test tomorrow morning. It's quite a slog going in every single day, including the weekend.

I'm also still glugging away. I'm supposed to be on 3 litres of liquids a day but I'm probably on about 2 - including water, fruit tea and milk. It's not easy to drink so much when you already feel bloated. And you can't get a good night's sleep as you're always waking up to go to the loo.
