Welcome to BB Mummy One & Two!
It can be very daunting when you first start out on IVF. My DH and I did our first cycle in October last year, and start our next one this week (starting the pill tomorrow).
Some people really dislike Synarel. It's certainly doesn't leave a nice taste in the back of your throat, but personally it didn't give me too much grief. The biggest issue I had with it were headaches. As soon as I started the injections I started to feel much better. The injections are fine. My DH did mine and they don't hurt at all, I think it was just more the idea of them that stressed me out! Towards the end of injections and just before pick up, there was a bit of discomfort in my tummy but that is just due to the all the follies growing in there nicely.

The crinone gel I disliked the most. I was so emotional on it, and just felt awful. Any little thing would set me off and I think I cried about something nearly everyday I was on it! lol

I hope all goes well. It looks like we will be going through our cycle and around the same time. I will be starting Synarel in about 16 days. There is also a LTTTC general thread. Please come and join us in there. Everyone is at different stages of their cycle and will be happy to answer any questions, and offer support.
