First time IVF Start injections on Saturday

[mialou]

Hi Everyone,

I am new here also and wanted to say hello. I am very excited after my down reg scan this morning which sees me good to start stims on Saturday. I am anxious about the needles and would welcome any advice from you all. I am not squeashmish really, but just want to make sure I minimise the stress. Is it better to get your partner to do it?

I am at MIVF also and must say I am enjoying the comfort and professionalism of the clinic. Would love to hear from others at a similar stage in treatment to me. This can feel very lonely at times particularly when you are at work and its all you can think about!

Hi Mialou,

Welcome

You will find the injections are a piece of cake once you get the hang of it. I got hubbie to do it because I want him to be involve in the process .

good luck and keep us posted

MiaLou,

Is that Melbourne IVF or Monash? I'm at Melbourne IVF.

I agree with Kahlan - the injections definitely become easy after a while. Getting your partner to do it can be a great way to keep them feeling involved (unfortunately mine is needle phobic!) I really hope that your stay here is short and sweet!

Come on in to the https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ly-2008-a.html

There are heaps of us in there that are all going through the same thing. Lots of wonderful advice and support, you won't feel lonely anymore.

Hi Janie,

I am with Monash ivf. It happened by default since the FS we saw who later recommended ivf was also working for Monash IVF. I had always wondered whether I should have explored other clinics before blindedly gone with Monash. Do you mind me asking how is your experience with Melb IVF and what are they currently charging for a stimulated cycle?

Mind you so far I am very happy with Monash IVF. The staff are very supportive and I've got a very good doctor.

Injections are easy once you do a few I prefer to do my own control freak \
