Feeling a bit crazy!!

[Yammie1973]

Wow, today I paid for the drugs and arranged for delivery. I start the drugs protocol on the 4th and I am obsessing about every detail and the needles....yes, I know they are very thin and short but still....kind of freaking out here! No, my husband can't inject me either as he is kind of in the same boat with needles.

So much is at stake here, as with everyone else on this forum. My stomach is in knots and I'm not sleeping properly. I keep telling myself that it will soon be over and we can move onto stage two. Has anyone else felt like this or am I totally crazy!!!!

Oh, and I have a job interview next week just to add to the fun!!!

All the best Yammie,

Please do keep me posted. As hopefully we will be starting the process soon. X

Will do, no doubt I will be quite vocal over the coming month or so...expected egg collection date, if everything goes o.k, will be 2nd October....God, I'm scared

I think it totally 'normal' to be feeling the way you see. The injections aren't as bad as you think once you start you kind of get into your own routine with them - take a few deep breaths whilst doing them. Try to take each day as it comes rather than looking to far ahead, good luck xx

Easier said then done but try not to get too worked up, the thought of injecting yourself is very scary at first but after the first one you'll think 'what was all the fuss about'

You'll get into your own little routine and things won't seem as bad I remember my first ivf cycle and looking back I put myself through so much stress and worry because of not knowing what to expect, going into my second cycle I feel more prepared as I know what to expect. If you need any advice or support then this group is amazing.

Good luck xx

Hi Yammie. Just wanted to wish you well with all of this. Try letting an ice cube melt on the spot before injecting. Helps to numb the area. Oh and good luck with the job interview too! One busy lady! Diane

Hey Yammie! I'm not at the ivf stage yet but if and when I am I will be 100% the same. I can't actually believe I don't read more posts like this, think everyone on here is hard as nails!💪💪 if you and DH can't stomach it, is there a friend/relative you could ask? I think that's what I would have to do. My husband is almost ringing the doctor when I have period pain, he's that much of a woosy scaredy cat!😄 needles are terrifying to me, I'm sending you sympathy and willing you to be tougher than me!

Good luck with the interview too!
