This morning is my first jab after the first failed attempt. And it was really piece of cake. I only need to jab 0.02cc with the smallest needle you can find in the drug store! And here goes the process: Swap, draw med, check for air bubble, pinch and jab. See piece of cake right?
I'm thankful that I am not afraid of needles otherwise i cannot imagine how will I get through this. Some will enrol the help of the Hubby but mine is so frightful of needles that he will probably jab me with his eyes close! So, yes, I am eternally grateful to Him for this!
Since my morning jab is 8.30am, I will maintain morning jab at 8.30am and the evening on will try to get it administered at 8.30pm (12 hours apart).

Round 2
This morning appointment with Dr F was scheduled at 9am, and we were the 3rd to see him. I must say seeing Dr F is nothing fearful or stressful, it's quite a delight to see. Well, nothing like a friendly face that takes all those tension away :)
I told him about my 2 migraines while on Microgynon. He assured me that it can't be due to the medication since I was ok the last time, and even if it is due to the medication, it should happen immediately on day 1. Well, hopefully it will not happen again!
After a quickie ultra scan, all is clear and is good to go!
So this time, I will start my Buserelin on 20th Feb (Sun) for 0.02cc - one in the morning and one in the evening. Then the next day (21st Feb, Mon), I will have additional morning jabs of 400IU of Puregon and 0.5ml of Menopur.
Dr F mentioned that the "pick-up" date is estimated to me around mid-March.
After seeing Dr F, I waited for my name to be called for my medication pick-up. Boy, am I in for a surprise blood test!!! I can not afraid of the needles but it's such a hassle every time the nurses tried to draw blood out of my shy vein. Today, another nurse tried - she's the one from the surgical team. I only see her when I go for surgery. So her first attempt - on my right hand. Found the vein, poke and sooooo little blood slowly dripping into the syringe... I thought, oh no... not another time?? Well, the nurse was persistent and waited and poke deeper, held onto different position and slowly the blood dripped - drop by drop. The syringe was on the back of my palm for the LONGEST time. Well, at least I'm happy that it's one time got it over & done with! Yaye!
After that another nurse explained my medications to me - the schedule, the dosage, the usage etc. I'm such a good patient - I was thinking to myself. I didn't need much explanation as it was still very fresh in my memory how to administer myself. The only difference this time is the dosage. The nurse gave me my jab schedule with the dosage written on it - so all I need to is follow the schedule! And then I'm due back to see Dr F on the 25th Feb (Friday)

Feeling Differently
Today is my last day on Microgynon, and I have totally different feeling/symptoms. The last time I was on Microgynon was normal, no uneasy, no pain, no weird sensation, nothing... but this time, I have:
- Migraine - Mother of all headache! (Not once but twice!!!)
- Bloated - If you see my tummy, you will be scarred for life!
- Cramps - I've gotta feeling!

Migraine
Not quite sure if the Microgynon is giving me the migraine. I've never had migraine in my life before until last week. and now am having another one! It's even more frequent than having period!! Unfortunately the attack was after clinic hours and tomorrow is a public holiday, I wanted to ask Dr F if I should stop the Microgynon immediately. Sigh, looks like I shall continue then since I should stop the pills on 16th, just 2 more days to go!
Bloated & slight cramp
After taking the Microgynon for 14 days, all I'm feeling is bloated and I get slight cramps - the kind of feeling that you get when your period is coming. But the thing is, it has only been 2 weeks since my last period, how can I be feeling the cramps so soon? I'll be seeing Dr F this Saturday morning, got to remind myself to tell him this.
Let's see what does he have in store for me this time.
I was clearing up our room, and I found that I still have a few syringes left, I wonder if there I'll be needing the same ones. Note to self: bring extra syringes, bring ice pack.

The Meds Is On!
Tomorrow is the Lunar New Year and I will be heading home to see my parents on second day. I can't wait for Friday to come!! Today is my second day on Microgynon, no weird bloating or nausea feeling. Yesterday is my first time reading the leaflet that comes with the box! Haha! Well, the only thing I will totally hate about is that this could cost me gain more weight... gosh! I'm already puffy and flabby, I don't want anymore!!! And let's hope I don't gain too much! :)
