I just started on my second cycle of hormone therapy for oocyte vitrification (fancy term for egg freezing)!
Having mentioned my last cycle on another thread in the past, I wanted to start a new thread which is separate from all the other issues in the old one, to discuss the procedure, experiences and thoughts on this.
As this is my second round (first lot was about half a year ago), I guess I already have some knowledge on how this goes. But I AM interested to hear from others on this- or to answer questions!
So. Anyone else been through it?
Progress so far:
I have taken Progynova tablets twice a day for the last 10 days or so. Had a normal period whilst on it, and started on Gonal-F injections yesterday morning. They have me scheduled for a 10 day course right now, though of course, that will change depending on my hormone levels and ultrasounds. I needed a 13 day cycle last time.
Apparently, I’ve lost the knack for injecting myself. I have managed to bruise my abdomen badly with the two injections I’ve had so far- purple blotches galore!
Note to self: inject more horizontally next time. I think I’m going too deep with the needle...
