Needles and Vials and Pills, Oh My!

So my IVF drugs came in the mail today. . .not nearly as bad as I have seen, but Holy Cow! Certainly more than I have ever taken in a month. Most of it looks easy, but the 1 1/2 inch needles that go with the PIO shots are scary looking. That's the only one I'm freaked out about. I'm so glad we at least did a Follistim cycle last month so the subcutaneous needles are looking like child's play.

I start on BCPs tonight (and really, how ironic that an IVF cycle starts with Birth Control Pills?) and take them for two weeks. I guess I can officially say that our IVF cycle starts now!

I was going for artistic?
