The party’s started in my ovaries!

I couldn’t stop crying the first night I took the injection, was feeling ridiculously sorry for my self. Didn’t cry day 2 but just was super anxious if I was doing it right. Day 3 injection done like a pro!!

Now I’ve done 3, have woken up today feeling some effects, a bit like I normally do a few days before my period but a bit more twingey and localised instead of dull aches. Despite that I’ve woken feeling like “i need to help those follicles grow and give those eggs the best chance of being good quality” so starting my day with a fruit and nut packed smoothie and made a shopping list of more fruit and veg, eggs and salmon!

Oh my goodness - I was almost exactly the same! I felt bloated and heavy by about day 5 of injections but found that putting an ice pack on the area really helped.

Best of luck with the treatment.

Hey Zucci! I felt the same, I’ve done my 4th injection now! I start on 2 a day tomorrow which I’m so anxious for.

But we have got this! 💪🏻

Hope you’re feeling ok x x

Oh gosh my 2 a day start on Monday and I’m trying to work out where I’ll do them both, randomly anywhere or morning on the left and evening one on the right?!!! Have been doing them on stomach but wondering if to give my thighs some action too 🧡 good luck for tomorrow! We have definitely got this, thanks for the encouragement Amy1122 🧡

I’ve read some crappy stuff about injecting on the thigh - I’m going to do my stomach for them both... and hope for the best ha ha! What are you currently injecting? I’m currently on Menopur and I’m about to start of Fyremadel tomorrow. Good luck to you too ❤️

I did stomach for both and it was fine after putting an ice pack on the area 5 mins beforehand. Worked wonders. I also did alternate sides. Got no bruising.

Hope it goes well. Xx
