Waiting for AF is the worst isn't it! When you want it to come it takes forever then when you don't want it it's there on time or early ha ha xx

I start my first injections 17th Jan. Thanks for the tip. Reassuring to hear it ok! Bit worried about the injections. Someone else said the down regulation injections can cause tenderness or redness so use a cool pack to hep!!

Good luck! Fingers crossed

I think it's our brains that make us think it will be really bad and hurt ha ha I've done my second injection tonight and again had no problems just breath and do it. Good luck for the 17th xx
