Day one of injections

[Zowiey]

Hi all, so I started my injections this morning. What a performance. I am terrified of needles but mustered up the courage to do it which then resulted in half an hour lying on the floor trying not to pass out haha! Let's hope this gets easier.

I hope you guys are well xx

Well done for getting over this first hurdle! 👏 My first is this Friday! Hopefully now you've done the first one it will get easier for you over the coming days. Good luck. 🍀

Well done on doing your first injection. It did get easier for me so fingers crossed it will for you xx

[Zowiey in reply to Hidden]

Thank you I hope so 😂 I can't be having that performace every morning before work. How did things go for you? Xx

[Hidden in reply to Zowiey]

It will it took me 30 minutes to do my first ever one And now its done within seconds. I am currently on my second cycle of icsi and due to go in for embryo transfer tomorrow. X

[Zowiey in reply to Hidden]

That's very reassuring about the injections, thank you!

That's great news I am sending you lots of good luck for tomorrow ❤️🙏 Xx

No problem, what are you on? x

[Zowiey in reply to Crazymrsrees79]

Gonal F I think. How about you? How are you doing xx

[Crazymrsrees79 in reply to Zowiey]

I honestly didn’t realise how many drugs there were in ivf and I work in a pharmacy 😂😂 I’ve been on merional and cetrotide. That finished Monday, I had my egg collection Wednesday and I’m in tomorrow for the transfer. Can’t wait 😊. Hope it all goes well for you my lovely x

[Zowiey in reply to Crazymrsrees79]

Aww that's wonderful news. How many embryos are you having transferred? Sending you lots of good luck for tomorrow 🙏❤️ Xx

With any luck that will be me tomorrow after having a scan! Not sure I’m gonna be good at it but if it’s what we have to do then I got to do it... hope it gets better for you! xx

[Scarlett13 in reply to Squeak2]

I've got my baseline scan Tuesday! So hopefully starting the injections that evening - I'll be on menopur then adding in centrotide x

[Zowiey in reply to Squeak2]

Good luck tomorrow. You will be fine ❤️

Hi

I know how u feel Iv been injecting for over a week now and though it does not hurt that much I get myself into a panic, just breath and think it's not forever all the best of luck xx

[Zowiey in reply to strong-girl]

Thank you for your reply. I agree it doesn't hurt but it's just a weird thing isn't t having to inject yourself. My partner offered to do it for me but that was even scarier haha! Sending you lots of good luck too ❤️ Xx

[Tugsgirl]

It will. Well done xx

[Scarlett13]

Can you not do it in the evening so you have more time to relax and do it? I have my baseline scan Tuesday! I'm anxious about remembering how to even make up the injections x

[Zowiey in reply to Scarlett13]

Hi Scarlett13, no apparently it has to be morning time. I'm hoping it gets easier like people have said. The first lot of mine came ready made just the second lot need to be made up. I'm the same I've forgotten the training they gave me but all the medicine comes with instructions and I'm sure yours will be the same. Good luck with your journey ❤️

[Peppy26]

How was the injection today? Any better? 🤞

[Zowiey in reply to Peppy26]

So much better although I think I may have done it a bit harder today in a rush to get it over haha! But everyone is right it does get easier. Maybe a little gentler tomorrow though. Thank you for asking xx

[abcgirl]

Well done! I start my tomorrow night. Just back from my baseline scan and have my stash of drugs and needles. I'll be on Menopur and Centrotide

[Zowiey in reply to abcgirl]

Good luck you will do great! Xx

[abcgirl in reply to Zowiey]

Thanks - I need to hear that right now.
