I wrote a bit about it in my blog but today is an overwhelming day. I read all of these posts filled with excitement when people receive their meds.

    I was overwhelmed when I got them too. The key is to just pull out what you will be using right now , keep the rest put away. That way it makes it simpler and you don't worry about the things you don't need yet.

    100% agree with this. The amount is really overwhelming but just take it a day at a time and only worry about what you're taking that day not what you have to take in the next week and you'll get through it! GL!

    Agree with PPs. It is definitely overwhelming and I took time to organize everything. Just make sure you put refrigerated stuff in the fridge after organizing!

    I did the same thing as you! I piled them all up, took a pic, and sent pic to DH. I thought I was going to have a heart attack! I found it all to be 10x easier than I thought. You don't use all those needles, half are just for drawing up and mixing and they send you extras. I did not touch any of the pain meds. I found it easier on my brain to separate the before retrieval stuff and hide the rest so I didn't have to look at it all! Good luck and please don't be overwhelmed, it's much easier than it looks.

    Mine are coming tomorrow and I'm nervous at how I'm going to react to the amount of them.  I'm sure it's overwhelming!  I agree with pp...just try to take it one med at a time...that's what I'm going to do...but again, I don't have my meds yet so I'm sure i'll be in the same boat!

    I spent some time preparing so I didn't freak out when my meds arrived. My suggestion is to spend some time with the stuff you can control. Buy or make a cute container for storing everything, pick out funny band aids, or pick up some rewards for getting through the shots ( I did daily rewards for myself!) good luck to you!
    Me:30 low AMH; DH:30 MFI (count, motility, morphology)
    2 rounds clomid 100 mg -BFN
    IUI#1- 25 mg clomid- July 2012= BFN!
    IUI #2 August = BFN!
    IUI #3 September = BFN!

    IVF #1 November - converted to IUI #4 due to poor response = BFN
    IVF #1.2 February- converted to IUI #5 due to poor response = BFN
    IVF #1.3 April- micro dose Lupron flare with HGH; 14R, 13M, 11F! Transfer of 1 day 5 blast on 4/30, 4 frosties. BFP! Beta #1 9dp5dt= 179; Beta #2 11dp5dt= 442; Beta #3 4106 Stick baby stick!!
