Good evening all. Im new here. I just received the calls from the doctor aNd emails from her team. Now I am taking ovulation tests in the morning today is cd14 And i have a dark and a very faint line.
I'm nervous about the injections.
I did a cerclage and injections when i was pg with my seven year old miracle.
Now Im here bring my partner along for the ride. He a big help and very positive.
However im nervous about the needles, and the estrogen pills, and how are going to make me feel?

    The injections are not as bad as I feared! The first one was nerve wracking, but it was easy after that. Some of them you barely feel! I did all my own subcutaneous injections, but it was an huge help to have my husband do the intramuscular ones. My side effects weren't bad; only 1 of the injections hurt, and I wasn't on that one long. The day before egg retrieval I was pretty uncomfortable with swollen ovaries (they retrieved 19 eggs!) and nausea, but it was just that last day. I didn't have any mood effects.

    What meds are you on? Is your estrogen oral or vaginal?

    Hi, I did not experience any issues with needles or meds, I think this is very individual, and you might be pretty well with them. Also, if you explain yourself your treatment is the only way to get pregnant, you will manage the situation and will focus on the final result. Hope this helps.

    Hey everyone,

    I just started my ivf journey. The shots are not that bad. I'm on menopur and it burns a l little. The hormones make me feel a little fatigue as well. I just did my trigger shot yesterday. My follicle numbers are not that great. My biggest number was a 15 but the doctor wants to still do the egg retrieval Friday. I'm so nervous.

    Good evening,

    Starting IVF can be nerve-wracking, but having your partner's support is invaluable. It's normal to feel anxious about the injections and medications. Remember to take it one step at a time. Focus on the positive outcome and lean on your partner for support. You've got this, and you're not alone on this journey!
