About to start my ivf journey, husband has had ssr today which was successful so now waiting for the call to start my egg retrieval process but have no idea what to expect? At my round of tests last month there were 8 follicles and my amh was 2.4. I've been told the chances are low but I feel I have to at least try! I've been taking DHEA for the last month along with supplements. Any advice on what to expect or ways to keep stress down much appreciated! I'm also terrified of needles!

Hello :) Welcome to the club. I promise, it's not as scary as it seems!

What helped me to overcome the fear of needles is watching a bunch of youtube tutorials on how to do it. In particular, there was this one lady who was so helpful to watch. Look up "How to give injections" by Phil and Alex on youtube. Such a lovely lady.
