Well last night was 2012's only Super Moon... and happened to mark the beginning of our very first IVF cycle. At 10pm we calmly sat down and watched the instructional DVD on Gonal F, prepped the epee-pen thingy, I took a deep breath... and then freaked out!!!
Looking in my husband’s eyes as he held aloft a big pointy needle aimed right at me didn’t go down too well and it took about seven failed attempts, before I stopped screaming and actually let him inject me.
After my award winning performance, I must admit, it wasn’t actually very painful or traumatic at all.
Wasn't that moon amazing!! Well done on your first shot. I'm doing my first IVF cycle too. I have had 7 days of Lucrin so far, my poor hubby is a bit of a needle phobe so I jab myself. I don't find it too bad actually.
