Start injections tonight 😳

[Diamonddream]

Hello lovelies

I start my injections this evening for our first round of IVF - anyone else with me? Or have just started or about to start? x

[KeeKee21]

I'm on day 7, ice the area which makes it so much easier, it goes so quick once you start them! Best of luck to you ☘️☘️

[Diamonddream in reply to KeeKee21]

Oh well done you!!! ok, thanks for the tip will try that tonight! I'm quite apprehensive actually!! Best of luck to you too 👍🏼🍀🍀

[City74]

Good luck! I am due to start a week today but I feel like AF is going to start really early so don't know if it will be earlier than that! Hope it goes well. xx

[Diamonddream]

Thank you so much! I'm a little apprehensive I must admit!! Would be great to keep in touch keep us posted when you start x

[City74 in reply to Diamonddream]

I will post when I start definitely. I think it is usual to be apprehensive - I feel pretty scared! I'm thinking though at least when we start we will be doing something rather than waiting for it to start if you know what I mean! Let us know how you get on. xx

[Diamonddream in reply to City74]

Yes I totally agree, just want to get it underway we've been waiting soooo long now! Yes I will indeed do updates of how it all goes!! Good luck 🍀🍀 xx

I've just had my Egg collection yesterday so did all my injections the past week or so and honestly however bad you'll think its gonna be it won't be, I had the same thoughts about injections too and I also did the ice on the area before hand which helped - good luck for your cycle x

[Diamonddream]

Oh fantastic, so egg collection isn't too bad then? Well done! Are you on your first cycle?

Yes I'm going to try Ice on the area before injections! Thank you so much x

[Laura3101 in reply to Diamonddream]

Yep Im on my first cycle and nope egg collection is probably the easiest bit so far you are awake but sedated and I literally can't remember anything about it aside from knowing I was still awake, we have started the intra muscular injections last night which I was worried about but more ice on the area and again felt hardly anything 😊 x

[Diamonddream in reply to Laura3101]

Oh great that's really good to hear! That must be such a weird feeling being awake but not knowing what's going on!!!

Brilliant, hope all goes well!! Please do keep posted! Would love to hear from you and how your cycle goes x

[Laura3101 in reply to Diamonddream]

I sure will I'll be posting updates all the time ha ha x

[Diamonddream in reply to Laura3101]

Excellent- I find this forum really really helpful as I'm sure we all do x

[MommaBear16]

Hi Diamond! I start mine on Saturday on long protocol - hope your first jab goes well this evening! Are you long protocol too? x x x

[Diamonddream in reply to MommaBear16]

Hi MommaBear oh fab only a few days apart then! Yes me too I'm a bit apprehensive I must admit but keen to get it done!

I'm also long protocol and am on burselin injections.

Is this your first cycle

Xxx

[MommaBear16 in reply to Diamonddream]

This is my second cycle so I completely understand how you must be feeling right now!! The first one is the worst, I have a few nerves about Saturday, but after that it will become second nature. You won't even flinch! I watched YouTube videos of women injecting themselves to feel more comfortable doing it, this might help if you haven't done this already. Good luck! x x x

[Diamonddream in reply to MommaBear16]

Oh ok, yeah I've found it all a bit overwhelming really and will be glad to get started! My husband is going to do the injections for me as I'm really not good with needles! 🙈

Wow I hope all goes well for you Saturday too best of luck with your cycle 🍀🍀 and thank you for your replys they've been really helpful xxx

[Diamonddream in reply to janula-]

Hiya I was booked in on day 20 of my cycle for the endometrial scratch and started my injections tonight on day 21

[Sassa1234]

Hi

I started mine yesterday , it was fine no pain nothing strange

[Diamonddream in reply to Sassa1234]

Excellent!! We started same day! Are you on the long protocol Aswell? Only weird thing I had was a metal kind of taste in my mouth!!!

[Sassa1234 in reply to Diamonddream]

Hi

Can i know what long protocol means?

I heard some women saying that you feel that metal tastes snd nausea as well like a pregnant woman.

Good luck for all of us.

[Diamonddream in reply to Sassa1234]

Hi

Just the different regimes they use for ovarian stimulation.

Yes I definitely had a metal taste but no nausea thank god (not as yet anyway)

Indeed sending everyone 🍀🍀🍀🍀

Hope your first injection went well. You & your OH will soon get the hang of it and it'll be like second nature in no time. Best not to think about it too much and just do it. It actually becomes quite a nice routine as you know your doing something active towards your goal. I'm on my second round of ivf and started my injections on Wednesday so we're buddies! Xx

[Diamonddream in reply to CheshireKit]

I hope so, I'm already clock watching for 7pm for my second one 🙈 Will be glad when it does become second nature - I hate the fear!!

Oh excellent your a day ahead of me then, please keep me posted on how your journey goes!

🍀🍀

[Sassa1234 in reply to Diamonddream]

Me too at 7pm lol

[CheshireKit]

Will do! Keep thinking about the injections helping to plump up some lovely eggs to make your baby 👍🏼 Xx

[Diamonddream in reply to CheshireKit]

That's deffo one way to look at it!!! 👍🏼 Xx
