I thought it would be harder than this...

So, I started my Gonal-f and Menopure injections on Sunday night...What was I so nervous for?! Lol, I barely feel the needle!  The meds burn very slightly as they go in but I imagined a pain way worse!!!  This journey isn't looking so bad after all ...

    We had  2 needles. One long to mix the meds and then a short small one to inject. It was fine, I could not even feel it. However after I was a bit sore. The next morning when I woke up it hurt for a while. The more I moved the better it felt.

    The big one is just to mix it with...there's a smaller (much smaller) needle in there.

    There is a HUGH mixing needle in with my trigger shot but the one to actually inject that med is bigger than the needles I am using for my Gonal and Menopure  Indifferent

    I just started injects on Monday, and the shots are totally not a big deal. I'm just worried for when the side effects decide to start kicking in....

    OMG, I stressed out over the trigger shot for hours and I even talked my sister into doing it for me because she is an MD.  When she finally did it, I covered my eyes and I didn't even notice that she did it!  I am such a chicken!
