Hi Jules, hows everything going, all good I hope. I am 8wks and a couple of days today and have been to the hospital to start my injections today and it went well. I was nervous and thought they might let me practice on an orange or something but I put it straight into my belly and the nurse has assured me it does get easier, it did sting for a little while but by the time I got in the car it had gone but will take your advice and ice the area when im at home. Look forward to hearing from you, regards Alana.
