stims are harder than I thought

I started menopur/Follistim on Saturday... I'm normally fine with needles at the docs office.. but when you bring them out of their element and have to administer them @ home.. it's very different for me! I cried on Saturday before DH even gave me the shot and then on Sunday it took me 15 mins to let DH near me with the needle.. I was just saying please don't hurt me.. please....

my DH is a trooper.. he has the patience of a saint and I am so grateful for him

I have my period now and I'm just an emotional train wreck... I went to the RE's for blood work this morning.. I'm waiting on a call back later today if he needs to adjust any of my meds.. and then I go back on Wed for u/s and more blood work!

 the ER is going to be done sometime next week!!!!

thanks for listening....

    Hugs.

    My mom, who is a nurse, gave me my first stim shot.  I cried and sobbed for 15 minutes before I would let her near me.  It gets easier.  Hang in there.


    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

    I almost couldn't bring myself to do it the first time and poor DH went white the first time he gave me a shot. Everyone is right, it DOES get it easier.

    It gets better.  As silly as it sounds try and have something you are looking forward to right after the shots.  For example a bath or a dish of ice-cream or a good book to read.  Whatever works, it seems to help me.
