Starting today, I'm taking my last lupron and hMG/FSH shots. I also have to take my hCG trigger shot tonight. hCG is human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone that the body releases after a fertilized egg implants in the uterine lining. For my infertility purposes, the shot is suppose coincide with final maturation of my follicles.
Here it is:
The only downside to this shot is it has to be injected into my lower back/upper rear - that one usually hurts. But, I know the point of the process is to get pregnant so I'm willing to take these moments of pain and discomfort.
My next post will be on Wednesday. I'll share what happened with the egg retrieval then.
