I will be doing my first injection of follistim tonight.  I am so nervous.  I go back in on Friday for my first follie check.....

Don't be!  I did my first one on Saturday night.  I was an hour away from DH that evening so I had to do it myself.  I was so nervous and then afterwards realized that it was the anticipation more than anything that had me freaking.  The shot didn't hurt and I felt like a kid when I texted DH to tell him I did it on my own and was so proud of myself, lol.  You'll do fine!

Don't be nervous - follistim is super easy!!  Really didn't hurt at all.  The worst part is the fear of sticking yourself.  You'll see - after you do it you realize it wasn't bad at all.  Good luck!!

Dont be nervous! I'm a wimp and I did just fine with them. I did them in the stomach (actually dh gave them). I was on Ganrilex, which didn't hurt at all. I was also on follistim+menopur which, I won't lie, hurt a little as the meds were being injected. But it only hurt for a couple of seconds - literally. I used ice for about 10 before getting the injections and that helped a lot. GL!

I start injections at the start of my next cycle for immature eggs.  What are you all taking them for?  Just wanted to know if it was the same thing.  What is yours called (med. name)?  Good luck!

The first one's the hardest. You'll be fine!

I was so nervous and anxious before my first injections too.  The first time is the hardest.  Follistim is a quick and easy, painless injection.  The needle is so thin I don't even feel it!  You'll do great!

The first one is always the worse, but they really aren't that bad. You will do great!

You'll do great at it! It's a cinch after the first one! More anticipation than anything else. GL!

If follistim is anything like gonal-f, it will be easy peasy.  I did my first ever injection a few days ago and I swabbed the area for about 5+ minutes psyching myself up.  No kidding I was even cold sweating.  Then, I just plunged right in and I was shocked that I barely felt it!  People aren't lying when they say it doesn't hurt.

Good luck!

Good luck, the first one is always the hardest. I was so nervous for my first one and it was much easier then I thought it would be.
