Day one of injections

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

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

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

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 ❤️

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
