Ye Olde Fertility Clinic had me start the Ganirelix shots yesterday, and along with that, my Luveris dose went up to 225 units (3 vials = 3 injections). So, this is what I had facing me last night when I had to prepare my nightly injections (nevermind that I’m still taking morning Follistim, as well):
I ran out of Follistim halfway through my shot, so that was six, count ’em, six injections in my stomach last night. Dividing my stomach into quarters didn’t help, I’ll tell you that! It’s all good. I could try Barren’s Smiley Face trick, but frankly, I’m not feeling extra smiley right now.

I hope the Ganirelix is nicer to you than lupron.
OUCH! I did the Follistim pen for a couple of IUIs but we did Gonal-F and Luveris for my IVF. I was able to mix them together in one syringe so there was only one shot. At the time I thought it was a pain to mix, but looking at that picture I think I got off easy.
Yow! Do you have that lovely rainbow of bruises over your stomach yet?
OMG that is a lot of shots! Your poor belly 😦 I’ve been through six rounds of IVF and I have never had to put in that many shots in one night.
ouch, that is a LOT of shots. Sorry it’s too much for the quarter system. Hoping they work their magic
wow, you are surely going for record numbers of injections there…
I had three a day and was having trouble finding new spots to stab. I dropped the alternating sides idea on the second day. My belly looked like a constellation of red stars
