Hi Elzi. Good luck with your first cycle. I agree with nicoleh that getting your DH to administer the injection may help, although it does pay for you to learn as well, just in case DH is away on business etc. Although the needle in the Gonal F is very small, if it makes you feel better you can pick up some emla cream or similar (local anaesthetic cream that you can get from the Pharmacy without a prescription) that you apply about an hour before the injection and this will help to reduce any pain.
