Injection Class

So as part of the IVF process you need to go to a class that teaches you how to administer the injection drugs.  The nurse told me that I should expect to be there for two hours..... WTF?! I figured it would be 10-15 minutes.  There is a lot more that goes into it then just drawing up the meds and injecting them.  I assumed that the Menopur and Bravelle were liquid but actually they are powder.  I need to draw up one ml of saline and mix it with 1 vial of Menopur then draw that up and mix it with the second vial, and then do the same with the two Bravelle vials.  In the end that one ml of saline contains all four vials of powder.  The needle hurt but I can deal.  In total it should be approximately 12 days of injections.  Up to this point I haven`t felt any different and time is starting to drag.  Only a couple more days until my down reg check and then I`m sure things will start to feel like I`m started.
