This is exactly what happened to me last month. I stood in my kitchen staring at them and just could not stop sobbing. I was blind-sided. But, after a day or so and lots of lovely messages of support, it turned into determination. Let yourself feel the feels, it seems to happen to everyone. This forum has been a godsend xx

Ahhh thanks Purple. I've boxed them back up and will take them back out the week before. I know this sounds weird but I hate putting anything medication wise into my body, so this is a massive things for me , as I'm sure it is everyone. Hope your are getting on well? Xx

So far so good thanks :) Scan today to see if my ovaries have woken up to the stims so a little nervous. If it helps in any way, all of the medications (except if you have to go on the pill beforehand) are identical to your natural hormones, you just receive higher doses and some at wonky times in order to take control of your cycle. There is an app called Mindful IVF if you have not come across it - it is quite soothing to listen to and he talks about letting the medicines help your body and do their thing etc. You might find it helpful if you are apprehensive. Hope you're feeling a little better today xx

Hey Melonay . You are not alone ! I got my results in mid December and because my amh and follicles suggested premenopause I jumped the queue and was given the drugs that day . It was a huge shock thinking I would have to wait for 6 months then having this news and a great big sack of drugs !!! Because of the rush I donโ€™t feel like things have sunk in yet . Started stimulation yesterday . Injection of 6 vials of menopur freaked me out but itโ€™s via one injection so no way near as bad as what I thought ! Terrified of needles and pass out often having blood taken although Iโ€™m getting used to the blood tests now . Our fridge broke the day I got the drugs so I was trying to keep them cold with tupperwares full of ice for two weeks till our landlord bothered to get us a new one ๐Ÿ™„ we didnโ€™t get the appointment about how to take the drugs till I already started on norhisterone by which point my husband and I had already had sex and apparently pregnancy on norhisterone can lead to masculinisation of female babies so a big no no which was another load of stress ( although of course we didnโ€™t get pregnant ha ha but it would have been just our luck !). Anyway good luck and take care , itโ€™s one day at a time . X

Oh crikey, bless you that sounds very very full on. Lots of information for you to digest in such a short time.

Ill be on menupor too, think mine is 6 vials but via 2 injections, but ill need to double check that.

Do you have a rough date for egg collection? Good luck my lovely xxxx

Hey :) I think our first egg collection will be in about two weeks . You ? We are batching ( doing 3 collections for one transfer) so it will be nearly summer by that time ! Good luck with the meds , I am actually finding it better now I am actively doing something about the infertility rather than waiting. Good luck ! X

I felt exactly the same! It took me by surprise too as I was so excited to finally be starting but didn't expect to be so emotional but it totally makes sense really! Good luck, you've got this ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜˜ xx

it looks overwhelming when you get the meds!! Frankly though the boxes are mostly taken up by more needles than you'll ever need in your LIFETIME! :-) I have no idea why they give u so many!

You can do this.

we're here if you need support. Feel free to PM me if you need anything x
