Ivf support. Thinking of backing out of it

[Stacey2007]

Hi everyone, to cut a long story short I start injections tomorrow. But I’ve not been sleeping because it’s constantly on my mind, I’m so so scared about it all and I don’t know why because it could be the best thing that happens to us if it works. Yesterday I was even thinking about not going through with it because I’m that scared, is it all as scary as it seems? Please help, Iknow I sound like I’m been silly ☹️

Did anyone have any side effects with the first lot of injections?

@Stacey2007 - I'm on day five and for the first few days I was super emotional- cried over the most ridiculous things (my personal favourite was I had a manicure and liked it so much I cried ) I felt tired and generally a bit wobbly.
Yesterday and today I've felt much better- feel less emotional- but still a bit tired. I have a friend who went through ivf and she said she didn't feel much at all, whereas others suffer quite badly- I think it's a mixed bag really
Hope that helps XX

Really.. isn’t it a funny thing what it does to us. Are you on the short protocol or long? I’m on the long I’m not sure if they is any difference in Medication, I don’t really understand the difference 😂. I feel normally atm I’m just so worried about the egg collection, so my mind is focused on that 🙈 xx

@Stacey2007 I'm not sure - I'm going abroad
So I think it's a bit different. I'm taking gonal f at the moment and I had a scan for follicles today which was all good. Egg extraction next Tuesday xxx

How did everyone feel on there first week of injections? Xx
