Anyone done this?

I'm on day 1 of my first cycle today - I go in for the first scan on CD 5 and they also teach me how to do the injections.

I'm asking here to get the UK perspective

Hi Emma

I wil only be able to give you a basis irish view point on injectables as I have only done 1 cycle so far. We didnt do the full IUI as it is to expensive for us yet. As far as giving yourself the injection, I got a kit with all the needles and stuff in it plus an autoinjector which is great you just follow the instructions and away you go. My hubbie injected me as I dont think I am ready to inject myself yet, it is sore enought to start with but you soon get used to it. I was on gonal-f is this the same for you. I was only taking them every other day in case I overstimulated when in fact nothing much happened at all!!! So I am at the minute sniffing synarel nasal spray until I get a period then back onto the injectables again this time taking them every day.
I dont know did this help you any, if you have any questions I am here.

Good luck and let us know how you get on
Gypsy
