" is that like Ovidrel and Pergonal? I did Ovidrel last cycle and tomorrow i find out if i can do it tomorrow night. Hey, we can be in the 2ww together if that happens :)

I had no problem with the shot itself but my right ovary defenitly was hurting/uncomfortable by the time the 36 hours rolled in.

Good LUCK and keep us posted. "

" Thanks Girls! I will keep all of you posted! I suspect I will have to do the shots for about 7 to 10 days before the HCG shot.....I am keeping my fingers crossed!

Yes, I think it is like Ovidrel and Pergonal....it makes you produce multiple eggs.... "

" Hi there! No success yet but I start my injections on the 17th! Good luck to you and let me know if you have any questions...oh, we triied the arm first (and then my DH did a Pulp Fiction move) so then we did the butt for a while before switching to the stomach...which really works out the best for us. The shot does not hurt at all. But my husband does it...not me. I'm a scaredy cat! Good luck! "

" I was on Gonal F up until yesterday, but I am doing IVF. I produced a ton of follies. If you have the pen it is a totally easy shot to give. I liked it the best out of all of the injectibles. Good luck! "
