- retrieving the drug from the fridge
- unsealed the syringe
- press out the air from the syrine
- poke syringe into the rubberized cap for drug tab
- draw 200ml of drug
- sanitize my tummy with sterilized cotton buds
- and jab and sanitize again
Now only i understood that my pituitary gland is so fundamental that it releases various hormones that manage my:
- growth
- blood pressure
- breast milk production
- sex organ functions in men and women
- thyroid gland function (oh oh oh...it could link to my hypothyroidism relapse)
- converting food to energy (hmm, that's why i always felt bloated)
- water balance in my body (i'm a regular victim of water-retention...oh my)
However, i have been given the long protocol presciption. It means the COH (controlled ovarian hyperstimulation) for younger women...heh heh heh...i am in the younger women group, For now up till menstruation day 2, i am on GnRH agonist daily morning DIY injection. It works just the opposite of the natural GnRH - to stop the LH hormone because early secretion of LH by my pituitary gland could disturb the growth quality of my eggs. In another word, it means to 'stop ovulation liked be in a menopause'. How marvelous is science! They can adverse natural cycle. and found ways to help the process of growing better quality eggs. Even though the COH has been around for more than 10 years, i can safely bet less than 1% of common layman knew of its existence.
