Evening ladies,

Janie - thanks for the thoughts. You're so right about this site. My DH read it with me tonight & could see how useful all the suggestions are & I finally don't feel alone anymore. Thanks gals!

Tiggerlinda/Belle - Thanks for all the water recommendations. Although I?m 2kgs heavier & spending alot my time at the loo, I?m hoping it will make a difference.

Peta - Don't panic about the staff's reactions today. I went into a full panic attack last Friday when the nurse (Claire) wanted to give us a trial run of the Puregon pen(Maybe this is where I should mention that petrified doesn't begin to explain my fear of needles). Claire was ready for the brown paper bag and decided to tell us of all the different patients and emotions they deal with everyday. It's normal for you to feel like this. I fully understand how you feel right now. Between the emotions, people's "helpful" comments/questions & dealing with the needles daily, I really don't know how people can do this for years.

Paula - It's great you're excited but I hope you get more sleep. I had my first appointment with the clinic last Friday to do the first BT and collect all of our supplies (as we're using a remote clinic to avoid so much travel for the BT & Ultrasounds). Claire showed us how to prepare the pen then once they dialled it back to 0, they injected it into my stomach to show us how it was done, without the FSH. Monday's my 1st BT & if all goes well EPU will be Good Friday! I?ll be thinking of you.

BecD/Kyles68 - I agree, I found the needle it's self doesn't hurt but I can feel the liquid under the skin, which hurts some nights & others - not at all (especially with the ice & keeping it out of the fridge for a while)

Baby Bliss - Thanks for the ice suggestion. It really made a difference tonight. Good Luck for tomorrow!
