2nd FSH injections at home

Hubby helped with the injections at home last night. The nurse mentioned that we must to take the injections at the same time every night before 10pm. The Gonal-F was fine but the Menopur was a bit painful for me. 

Some side effects of the FSH injections are like nausea, headache, bloated, sore throat, abdominal pain and mood swings. The nurse explained that all these are normal if I ever feel that. As I had went through 2 IUIs before, I understand and I am prepared this round. Previously during my IUIs, my stomach bloated, I had headache and my mood was terribly interrupted. I was so emotional; I got heat up so easily and I cried so hard both the cycles. 

For this time round, I told myself that I am ready for it. The first injections I had at the Centre on Monday, I felt a little nausea while am on the way back home. The nauseousness went off after I had a warm shower once I reached home. 

Last night, after the 2nd injections I felt back pain the entire night till I couldn't sleep well. I got up every hour until I felt hungry at about 4am. I made a cup of hot milo and went back to bed at about 430am. I am lucky that I am not working anymore now. I could have more sleeps in the day time. 

Oh ya, some daily medications schedule nowadays: 
- after breakfast: Xi Fertility Chinese herbs
- after lunch: Fish Oil, Folic Acid, Protexin Probitics
- after dinner: Xi Fertility Chinese herbs
- before bed: FSH injections

I do take some nuts and seeds daily. It says it helps in the IVF diet; I have:
- 3/4pcs of Brazil nuts daily
- a grasp of sunflower seed
- some dried raisins and cranberries

Am not really sure how much it does helps with all these. Since there's no harm, so I'll just try.
