four hundred!

my BIL and I did a little math this morning over breakfast. we (or I should clarify) he figured I injected roughly 370 needles this past year. this includes 4 rounds of stims, PIO, and hcg. am I missing something? if you factor in the needles used for b/w then we are talking... um... 400+ syringes. damn.

even though I may have 400+ tiny holes in my body, there are no complaints. little one is COMPLETELY and TOTALLY worth each and every "ouch!"

Ouch, but impressive! You have been beat by a kland slide and i still inject myself daily with lovenox and did a few rounds of injections hcg/bravelle

ouch!

I only had 2 injections since I was the Clomid superstar.. and they were just teeny trigger shots.

But if we throw in all the b/w.. well.. That's a lot of poking. And not in a good way. Particularly because I think maybe 3 times in my life can I think of only being stuck once for a test.

But definitely worth it.

Oh my!

I think that with my 5 cycles esp the 5th with its daily bloodwork, twice a day Clexane and gestone (that i'm still doing) PLUS the immune testing (sometimes 17 syringes per session!) and IVIg I may well be up there with you.

It's scary isn't it?!

I'm getting needle exhaustion, but, as you say it's worth every pricking jab!!

I definitely will never think twice about a blood draw or innoculation again.
