Last injection of the cycle!

Paul was the lucky one this time around as he only had to give me 1 shot (with the IUIs he had to administer every single shot). This was the big one, intramuscular in the back of my hip, the trigger shot. 

Novarel contains human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) which is a hormone that supports the normal development of an egg in a woman's ovary and stimulates the release of the egg during ovulation. Side effects can include headache, feeling restless or irritable, mild swelling or water weight gain, depression  pain or swelling at injection site and OHSS. If any side effects are severe in nature medical attention should be sought. 

Novarel should be given approximately 36 hours before an egg retrieval takes place (the doctor will give you an exact time of day this medication should be given). I was injected with 10,000 units. This medication is mixed in the same manner as Menopur.
