And so my IVF journey begins...

After a couple of years various tests on both me and my husband, we’re now finally at the stage to start IVF.

Just this evening taken my first Meriofert stim injection. Spent almost an hour watching videos on how to do it, and almost another hour after crying!

Read some of you don’t have much of an issue with the symptoms but still get the results, so hoping I can join that gang 😊.

I remember the first couple of injections seemed completely impossible, but you do get used to doing it really quickly! Wishing you lots of luck xx

Thank you LCharlton. It was quite surreal last night, just kept thinking “do I really have to do this”. I’m already nervous about doing it again tonight. Thanks for the wishes xx 🧡

Hello 👋🏻 after a couple of days it will become like second nature. It’s bound to be overwhelming at first. Best of luck to you 🤞🏻Xx

Hi Rainbowdreams82, good luck! I’m taking 450iu of meriofert, find it ever so fiddly collecting the medicine from three ampules! What are you taking? 🧡

I’m starting Gonal f and then Cetrotide. The first one looks not too complicated as the dose is in a pen but the cetrotide I have to mix too. I have all instructions and video so what can go wrong 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️
