So finally after what seems like forever I am starting my treatment!!! 7th November I start with the nasal spray, this will be my first round of IVF, more excited than nervous as trying to keep a positive attitude towards the whole experience. Anyone starting their treatment round the same time?

Ahh how exciting for you!! I’m trying not to get nervous about it all because I’ll stress out then! Is this your first round? Xxx

I'm two days into gonal f and everything fine atm :-) I worried and worried and the injections are absolutely fine! I put ice on the area of my tummy for couple minutes before and that really helps! Cant really feel a thing! (Husband doing the injecting) :-), yeh our first round, doesnt quite seem real weve actually started! Its flying by now :-) when do you start?

Ooh, I start Gonal f 28th currently on the nasal spray nafarelin. How have you found the injections, had any side effects?

I’m getting a little nervous because I haven’t really had any side effects from the nafarelin apart from being SO bloated but hopefully everything is going how they want it too! Have my first scan on 26th to make sure all is how they want it to be.

Have you been booked in for you egg collection yet?

I know what you mean, seemed like we were waiting for ages then all of a sudden it all happening but exciting though! X

Havnt had any problems with the injections so far, felt a little emotional on day 4 but nothing else :-), had blood test today and all ok to start cetrotide tomorrow, I'm a little nervous as its a little more involved but I'm sure it will be fine, no not yet, got a scan and bloods on monday then I guess theyll kinda know when? 🤷‍♀️.

Yeh hopefully all is going well with you, and your body will be ready for injections! Not too much longer. Know what you mean, iv never been good with needles but iv surprised myself, think because what it's for you just get in with it :-) you'll be fine :-)

Not what you're looking for?
