Hi girls- please tell me I'm normal- day 3 on my first lot of buserelin injections and I am a complete emotional wreck!
Do you have to take injection at exactly the same time every night? Does anybody else get themselves totally worked up over injecting? I feel like I'm being totally over dramatic but I just can't help it & I hate needles and fainted doing my first one !
Xx

Hey, I wasn’t on buserelin when I did my fresh cycle (although due to start buserelin on day 21 of my cycle...in prep for FET). I didn’t cope well with my injections though and was a complete emotional wreck so I know how you feel! My OH had to give me the injections because I couldn’t do it myself. In prep for my FET I’ve downloaded an IVF mindfulness app and it’s already making me feel better emotionally - maybe this is something you could try??
Hello im on day 13 of injections and some days are worse then others but dont feel too bad. I cant give the injections to myself at all my oh has to!!!! But hopefully it will start to settle for you xx
No dont worry i was the same, my clinic said to inject them in the evening/night as they do scans in the morning. You dont need to be strict with timings, your period will be delayed slightly but trust me you will definitely eventually bleed. Get your OH to do them i am the same and i hate injections although i am getting better doing them myself my OH does them and i dont have to stress about them xx goodluck with everything
Hi Chatty Chuck
I was a total wreck too! Irrational, so forgetful to the extent that I actually forgot to take my ovitrelle the scheduled day before egg collection which meant the whole team needed to come in on a Saturday to do it! I had night sweats, vocabulary went down the pan so I was reduced to an infant pointing at things grunting. Emotionally I was all over the place going to angry to crying in no time at all. Evil drug but it did help me produce 1 good quality egg and embryo.
Hey your not the only one. Myself am deathly afraid of needles. I did my IVF and my doctor put me on suppositories progesterone. Which every article and research I did say that there is no difference between the intermuscular injections for progesterone or suppositories. But my cycled failed and my doctor believes that it was the suppositories that didn’t give me enough progesterone to hold the baby. It’s bad enough the subcutaneous injections plus all the blood work you have to do every 2 days. Then they want you to do intermuscular shots for 10 weeks. When I saw that big needle I almost fainted!!! I truly believed this last IVF would of worked out, I believed in my body and to only get disappointment after...😪😪😪😪 I wish you all the best 😘😘😘
OMG, I'm sorry injectibles are getting on you. For me they never seemed easy too. I had my dh to do them for me for a couple of days. Being emotonal is quite natural. This all is about hormones. And the process itself..Sending you much of luck and support x
