Follistim!

So, I started Follistim last night. The evening schedule is a little tricky for me because I usually work in the evening. My fear is that I get so busy with my work (we occasionally have emergencies at night) and forget about my medication. So, I decided to give the med at 8pm. It will be right before I start seeing patients if I'm at work. I take care of myself first and then go to my patients. Good plan, right? I didn't work last night so I spend lots of time at home studying the Follistim pen, which is a device to deliver the medication. It exactly looks like a insulin pen. I was actually excited to see the pen because an insulin pen usually comes with a very small needle. I thought my Follistim pen would have the same type of needle, but no. It had the normal sized subcutaneous needle just like what you see with an insulin syringe. I'm used to using the the regular sized needle so it wasn't bad, though. So far, the only side effect I've noticed is that I am dizzy! I was planning to go to Yoga this morning but decided not to. I might do some gentle yoga at home instead. But the side effect is good! That must mean that my body is responding to the medication - at least it is in my optimistic head.
