  Welcome, but I'm just going to be honest here, not trying to be snarky but I'm sorry I read your post. I start Menopur on Tuesday and didn't realize it hurts. I've had pp tell me it's not bad. Now I'm more anxious about it. Good luck.

  Thanks everyone! At first, I made the mistake of telling my husband to hurry up with the injection because it stung but that just made it worse.  Injecting slowly has made a huge difference.  I also keep an ice pack close for right after.  All of these IF tests and treatments are helping me overcome my needle phobia pretty quickly.
