I just got back from my baseline scan to start our first IVF cycle. Felt like I was in a daze:.. got all the injections and instructions. The nurse was really kind and funny and answered all my questions. But now I'm just sitting here crying. I thought I was handling this okay, was looking forward to starting and progressing on our journey and I just now feel so overwhelmed. I can't believe we're at this point - I wished so hard it didn't have to come to this. I should be happy though but I just can't stop crying. This wave of emotion is so unexpected and I feel like I'm all over the place. I'm so scared for what the next few weeks will be like.

Thanks for listening... and good luck to all those starting now as well.

Hi abcgirl,

First of all congratulations that all went well and you are able to start the injections. I know it's a very scary and stressful journey, however you have the strength to carry on and succeed. Just continue having a positive mindset, the " I can do it" mindset. Before you know it, you are looking at egg collection.

I wish you great success. Remember to drink enough water and don't stress yourself.

Hello, I was exactly the same. It really hit me when the meds first arrived and then again when my last period arrived (pre-ivf). It's an incredibly emotional time and I was just so angry we had to go through it. However, once I started taking the tablets and doing the injections I was ok. Just try and focus on the end goal. And post on this forum whenever you have questions or feel down - I found so much support on here. Once you start the injections, time flies by. Wishing you so much luck and baby dust xxx

Hi abcgirl. Well, it's all down to the realisation that finally your cycle is about to get under way. No wonder you're having a massive wobble today, but you sound pretty normal to me. You will get through it all, with the help of the girls here, I'm sure. Good luck and I shall be thinking of you. Diane

Hey abcgirl

You can do this, just keep powering on and keep thinking of the positives! I know exactly what you are going through as I'm in exactly the same boat as you at this moment, but you are strong and take one day at a time. It will get easier and just think of the end goal, a precious little baby, that what's we all want.

Keep your head up and let's get this done together !
