First FSH shot done!

Despite my anxiety being through the roof last week, and not knowing if this cycle was going ahead until this morning, we've finally started injections!

Today feels like a good day! I'm feeling optimistic, and one step closer to being someone's mummy.

I hope you're all having a great day too! X

Good luck! Us too. 7am we were sat ready to do the first one. Definitely felt worse than my practice one last week with salt water. Did yours come up with something I can only describe as a nettle rash- lump and itch. Apparently it's normal but not very pleasant. X

Ah, how exciting! I didn't get to do a saltwater one...I just practiced on a kind of fake-skin-thing in the clinic. Which form of FSH are you on? I'm on Gonal-F. Can't say I've had any skin reactions, but I have had a headache for most of the afternoon and evening x x

Oh no! Fingers crossed that settles quickly and you don't suffer too much with them. I have Buserelin for 3weeks before menpur x

That`s great.

Positive mood is another step to labor.

Ask your doc what you can do in addition to it.

Some kind of massage, exercises, etc.

Just to increase your chances even further.

P.S.: hopes that everything would be fine. Good Luck
