Wait to start ivf over

[danielle33375]

The wait il for starting ivf is over.. I got my period this morning so just waiting on clinic opening to phone and book in for my scan to see if it's ok to start with my injections ..... Anyone any advice about the injections ? I'm a bit worried about giving myself them

Hi I've just finished injections and found them to be much easier than I thought they would be. Hubby did the first one but after that I managed fine myself. They are less painful than getting bloods and I luckily didn't get any bruising. When I was feeling a bit sore especially towards the end I used a warm hot water bottle on my tummy which I believe also helps the follicles grow. I also took my injections at night so I could just chill out afterwards. Once you get over the thought of jabbing yourself it's okay, the needle point is very small and thin.

Good luck with your treatment xx

Hi good luck with your treatment.

The injections are small & easy to do on your own. Just take your time & you will have no problems. After the first couple you won't even think about it. It's all a step in the right direction to getting your baby!

hi good luck. I found the worse part all the mixing - but I was on a high dose.. the injection is a largish needle but doesn't hurt. pinch up your skin and inject. Im pretty sure they said to us no hot water bottles/warm baths/heat pads etc so I would check that out. you cant feel it after anyway..
