Glad you've got the injections started loopy, even if it was a bit ouchy. I think someone mentioned injecting without pinching too (can't remember who. Maybe baking?), so might be worth trying different methods. Hopefully you'll get the hang of it soon (or dh will). I know what you mean about feeling conflicted. I felt so positive about this one at the start, it felt really strong and totally different to the last one, but then had a real panic last night as sore/enlarged boobs and bloating have gone and was convinced it was all over again. I'm now swinging between positive and negative thoughts (mostly negative).
Not mentioned the spotting to dh yet as I don't want him to think I'm not coping in case he bans me from trying again if this one doesn't work out.
Was thinking of going back to the response trial if this one fails, but as the closing date is now 1st Oct that doesn't leave me much time. Too much thinking!
