It's scary at training but it's not too bad hun. I got my hubbie to do it, that way I could look away or if he was working a friend did it. Pinch the skin & move the injection site everyday - if u take it out slowly u sometimes don't feel it. Weirdly i had one side that felt fine & other side that just stung a bit - keep focused on why you're doing it- definitely worth it x

I know it's worth it. I know sounds silly but just didn't expect what it turned out to be but don't know what else I thought.

I've been doing injections for 4 weeks and it was fine. I was panicky the first day about the dose and putting the needle in, but it was much easier than I thought and now I don't worry about it all! I was pleased to be doing the injections as it felt like I was finally getting started :) I'm starting Gonal-f tomorrow - so 2 injections every day but am not worried, I'm just sending lots of positive vibes to my ovaries. Good luck!

Hi there I went through my injection training a couple of days ago too, and there did seem to be a lot to remember. Then nearly fell off my chair when told how much the meds would cost - ha ha! I'm aiming to start mid to end of May though in my case we are expecting a poor response to the stimulation drugs, so let's wait and see. Best of luck with yours and hope it all goes well :o)

We got told the medication would cost a lot so we were prepared.

Hope all goes well with you too x
