Miss C- Great news about your follies. Look forward to hearing some great fertilization results from you and then I'll see you in the 2ww thread next week.

hj1981 - i was petrified about the needles too and worried and dreamt about it for weeks before hand. I have a diabetic friend who advised me to just get in and do it quickly and try not to think about it otherwise it is much harder. That helped me a lot. for my first needle my hand was really shaky but i just did it really quickly and found that it isn't that bad. Occasionally it feels like a little ant bite for 20 mins after depending on the med but usually i hardly felt it. I am in the 2ww of my first ivf cycle. I gave myself 42 injections in a few weeks. It really isn't that bad - and this is coming from someone who has fainted in a blood test!!! i think if you can, try and do it yourself. Now that i can do it myself i would prefer that than have a nurse or my DF do it.
