I start my very first injections tomorrow. I am so nervous! Not so much about the shot itself, but worried that I don't know what I am doing. I think I'll call the IVF nurse to ease my mind.
Any suggestions on where to give it? I think I'm gonna go w/ the tummy. That's the fattest area on me so it can't hurt too bad!

I chose my tummy because when I pinched up the skin on my leg it hurt more. I had no problem giving them there. Good Luck!

I also did the tummy. I tried it in my leg one time and it stung so bad I could not do it again. My first shot took me over a hour to do, I would freeze up and just could not do it. Finally I relaxed enough and counted to 3 and just did it, it was nothing! It might itch a bit, but that is normal.

I did my first one this morning. It took 30 mins! I barely felt it, but it did itch for about an hour afterward.

I do Lupron in my leg in the am and Gonal F and Menopur in the tummy at night. The Menopur stings quit a bit and the Lupron itches while going in, but none of them are too bad. Good luck and let us know if you have any questions!

hi glad it wasnt too bad, the tummy doesnt hurt as much as the leg but i wasnt brave enough to do it there, i had a very sore leg for a month also ask your doctor for a auto jector its so much easier you press a trigger and it shots the syringe in for you, you dont need to be as brave then, good luck

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
