IVF #1 under way!

Omega20Omega20
in Infertility

Yesterday was my injection class and I started Lupron today!  It is all starting to sink in now.  My Mom is doing my trigger shot, so she went to the class with me.  She just looked extremely nervous, so the nurse asked her if she wanted to practice.  Honestly, I didn't even feel it going in.  That needle just looks alot worse than it really is.

Anyway, there was one other girl taking the class, and she looked so confused and lost, like the nurse was speaking a foreign language.  I wanted to tell her about the bump and this board, but I stopped myself.

Do you all ever tell friends/acquaintances dealing with IF about the bump?

    Ha!  I'm here and I think I had that utterly confused deer in headlights look on my face throughout my injection training.  The nurse kept asking me if I understood and if I was okay. 

    G/L to you!!!

    to some IRL friends,  i refer to the bump as "an online support group".

    I don't have any IRL IF friends.

    Good luck this cycle!

    Wahoo!! I'm glad you are finally getting under way!

    I don't tell IRL friends about the bump.

    ETA: I don't really have any friends who are dealing with IF right now. We had one set of friends who just got their BFP on their first IVF after 4 years. I do have a friend going through the testing but she has only been ttc for 3 months... long story.

    Although I'm not too nervous about doing the injections, I still can't imagine not being able to feel it, so that makes me feel better :)

    I don't have any IRl IF friends either, atm, but would definitely tell them about thebump!

    Whohoo!! I have my injection class next Tuesday for the antagonist protocol.  I have told a few friends about my internet friends. I just told them it's a support group for infertility.

    Hooray you started Lupron today!  Good luck that is very exciting.  I actually told a girl friend who was suffering from infertility that has been trying for 5 years.  I also took her to see my doc and she did IUI and is 24 wks pregnant!  I do refer to thebump as my online support group too!  Everyone on here is so nice and everyone understands what we are going through.  I am genuinely happy when one of us gets pregnant because we have been trying for so long!  Good luck to you! I hope in a few weeks you have BFP!!!!
