Hi Leeshie
Best of luck with your cycle! I know what you mean about the needles...I reward myself with chocolate after each needle lol...so it's not 'really' the drugs that make me put on weight!!!
If you need to disconnect for a while then that's what you do...it's all about you...focus on what you need...everyone else will deal with it and there will be plenty of time to socialise when you're celebrating that BFP!!! Take care xxx
