Day 270 - Ouch

I look like a drug addict! I looked down at my arm today after I took the days bandage off and was horrified by the track marks on my arms from having four blood tests in this past week. The nurse this morning asked if we needed to use the other arm as this one was looking a little well used and I didn't think anything of it, but looking at my arm now, perhaps there is a need to try my other arm. The problem with my left arm is that all of the pathologists that have used that arm have had to chase the vein around, and that either leaves a bruise or hurts so while I can get away with it, we will stick with my right arm.

It is day 18 in this cycle, on .75iu of Gonal-F and so far, it is not looking like the shots are doing anything for my ovaries. Fingers crossed that the hormones start to work soon, as jabbing myself in the stomach every night it not a lot of fun.
