IVF # 1 - Attempt # 3

I started stimming again last night - I'm again hoping for three to six follies with good eggs. I ended up getting a really bad headache last night which lasted until I finally broke down and took two extra-strength Tylenols at 1:30 am. Granted I had the headache before I stuck myself, but I'm wondering if the meds played any role. I never take headache pills because the pain goes away after I eat, have a bit of caffeine, or get some sleep, so I was surprised when I woke up to find that it was still there.

Anyway, here's my protocol for my this IVF cycle - I'll update this as I move along (once again, "SD" means Stim Day):
