Bravelle

I started administering shots of Bravelle  as part of our fertility treatment this past Friday.   Bravelle sounds like the name of a drag queen or burlesque dancer, so I can hear David Rose and his Orchestra playing in my head.    I started with two vials and after my blood work yesterday, they increased the dosage to four vials.  I know that side effects are possible and decided to take a look today to see if fatigue and insomnia were on the list only to find the following tidbit of information about the drug:

Bravelle® is a product containing a highly purified preparation of human follicle stimulating hormone (hFSH) extracted from the urine of postmenopausal women.

I am shooting myself up with the Golden Girl’s pee?
