Well, I know that after doing IUI I was adamant I was not going to do IVF & try naturally (we fell pg with DD naturally) and I think it was b/c I found IUI very stressful at times and thought my stress and anxiety would be heightened even more with IVF. Following a discussion with my gf, my DH & I decided to do the counselling, find out the costs etc... and we are now contemplating doing IVF. My fears are not about the injections - they are the same as IUI from what I understand. The difference is the eggs being collected and then put back in. I really don't know if you can't ever not stress b/c there is so much going on & you have such high hopes that it will 'work'. I'd join in with the other gals doing IVF so you can use them and their experiences to help you along the way. You can also access counselling at any time through Monash in Victoria, but not sure about IVF QLD.
