Don't feel foolish, it''s such an emotional process, outbursts are almost inevitable . What happened?

We did have a laugh when we had to sneak into restaurant toilets to inject (DH had to do it, I was too squeamish) and we got looks on the way out from the waiters like we must've been sh*gging in there!

Another time it was in the carpark at a motorway services, looked v dodgy!

You poor, poor thing!!! I think you had every bloody right to cry hysterically, terribly insensetive. I think that some people JUST DON'T GET IT........which is NOT HELPFUL....

I had a friend of mine loudly pressing me for "why is it such a big issue, why? why? people get pregnant all the time, you're making a mountain out of a molehill, etc, etc, etc" loudly, on a girls weekend away, in a coffee shop, the morning after a big night.......The coffee shop ears were flapping big style, let's just say that I didn't miss her and hit the wall (verbally of course).....and she hasn't mentioned it since. Given some of the stuff I've been through with this particular friend it was top of the range insensetive!!!

Hmm, "moments"

I sobbed hysterically on a bemused riding instructor, just had a bloody awful day, couldn't do a thing at all, let alone right.....poor woman, I told her the lot.......oh dear.......

DH turned up to do his initial SA after a nice ride on his road bike, in full lycra... given the general preconceptions about the impact of cycling I just found that utterly hilarious....otherwise I might have cried........

When the trigger shot was due I sprinted into the kitchen during the ad break of some particularly absorbing Sunday night drama, turned on the lights, dived into the fridge, ripped the trigger shot from the box, strewed bits of card and holder etc round the kitchen, yanked my top up, primed and plunged, shouted something along the lines of "bombs away" to my DH and then looked up to realise that the blind wasn't shut and a neighbour late walking their dog could well have seen the lot......classy......

I'm sure there was more, it was black humour all the way in our house.... I honestly think it is the only way.

Poor you, again, that was just rubbish from every angle and no-one deserves that but as above, some people just don't get it...

hello! this thread sounds good. I starting taking my drugs today (woo!) and I'm already looking for the dark humour in the whole thing and looking forward to many awkward injecting moments to come. I'm already a bit paranoid my snorting skills aren't up to scratch..

I'm currently flipping my mind between telling more friends why I am about to turn into mental bitch from hell or just hiding away from everyone for the next month...

It's a tough one to go through this TTC lark, it's nice that there is a place other's understand.

I've decided my sharps bin gives my kitchen that 'edgy' vibe the decor has been frankly lacking so am putting it out before I even start injecting.

Ha! I like that Devil! I better get mine ready, injection time in 45 mins! Hope I can do it

Pica I think you're right they are your friends so it's good to share. Plus avoids them thinking I'm really unsociable for never going out with them anymore. It's a bit of a bombshell to drop though!

How did you get on CatSofa? I'm a bit nervy about the injecting. Did you use the fancy pen or go old school with just the needle?

Morning Devil, it was really alright! Had a bit of a freak out but then when I did it I honestly could not feel it. I did kind of bigger it up cos I didn't press hard enough and so there was still a tiny bit leftover I needed to do. I did it again but then that time forgot to leave it in for 10 secs so I don't think I got it all in me. I'm using the pen. Reckon today I'll be fine and know what not to do. Let me know how you get on too.

I had a funny wobble this morning, (2 embies transfered yesterday.)

Man came to jet wash the drive and the patio out the back, and said "you don't expect me to clear that dog muck do you?" I snapped forget it, do what the fuck you like but I can't do it for you!

I then burst into tears and appologised, and explained all about going through IVF to this young chap who looked like he wanted to run away as fast as he could! (Did make it up to him with bacon sarnies and a cuppa or 3 )

The look of pure horror on his face! I think the explaination made him more rather than less uncomfortable!
