Starting the IVF process and I feel better mentally than I have in months

We took our IVF orientation class at our clinic today and I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. After 3 crushing iui failures I feel like we are moving onto something with a real chance to work for us. I'm excited.

 The needle portion of the class was a little daunting. Do you get used to it? Does it get easier?

I'm glad you're feeling better about your IF journey! I have only done one full IVF cycle (and I'm just finishing my 2nd FET) - the needles definitely got easier for me. 

I never in a million years I thought I could give myself a shot, but after ttc so long I was willing to do (almost) anything!

Good luck, I hope this is your cycle!!

Good luck on your IVF cycle.  It is amazing what you can do when you are determined.  This last IVF I did all of my own shots including trigger and PIO.  If you want something badly enough you will do anything to reach that goal.  Celebrate completing each shot and each day, celebrate the milestones like starting bcp, lupron, baseline, moving onto stims,trigger, ER, ET, or some variation depending on your protocol.  You can do it!
