Well we are officially back on this rollercoaster and the hormones have started again. Yesterday I put on the first patch and this morning was my first injection.
I was a little worried about this morning's injection as it is the first time I used this new medication. From googling, there actually seems to be a world-wide shortage of orgalutran so I was put on cetrotide instead which uses the same ingredients really but requires you to mix a powder with a liquid.
With the orgalutran I had a small red welt that would last a few hours at most and then go away. I was also super itchy right after the injection. With the cetrotide there was no itchiness, a little bit of burning but not too bad. The red welt however is much bigger. It's been an hour now and still very obviously there. We'll see how long it lasts! If this is the only side effect though I'll be happy :)
Good luck, girl. I'm here, rooting you on!
