I did my 2nd FSH injection tonight (GONAL F) and whilst it's not pleasant injecting yourself it really isn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's loaded into a pen (like diabetics use) that you twist to allow the correct dose and attach a disposable needle to each time. It goes in your tummy under your belly button (on either side) and I was advised to pinch the skin to lessen the bruising etc. I've attached a pic of the pen to give an idea of the size. Side effects wise I've had a little bloating and felt a little nauseous but not much else but I'm only up to day 2! Hope this helps. Good luck ladies Xx

Hi Kat9lives. Good to hear that you are coping OK with the injs. If it gets a bit sore, try an ice cube on the "spot" for 10 minutes before injecting - magic! Diane
