Day 1 09/08/11


Day 1 09/08/11

6:00am--Time to rise and shine.  MK has to begin getting ready for work and Bradley needs to begin his mixology of medications.  It is a big production to give one injection.  The Gonal-F (powder) needs to be mixed using the syringe of Bacteriostatic Water.  Then the liquified Gonal-F gets 250iu drawn from the vial to be mixed with 75iu Menopur.  Once these are all mixed, it is time for the injection.  Seems easy until you consider the fact that 3 syringes are used and everything, including MK, gets wiped down with an alcohol swab.

6:15am--Bradley injects MK in the upper arm.

7:00pm--This round is easier.  Draw 300iu Gonal-F; inject.  Oh yes, don't for get the alcohol swap but only one syringe this time.  This time we add one oral dose of Dexamethasone.
