FSH injections

[Mrs R]

Hi girls,

Can anybody tell me anything about FSH injections in 'natural conception' (ie not iui or ivf)?

I'm due to start them next month (fingers crossed) and don't know anything about them.

Do you inject yourself?

How many scans will I need?

Any idea what the success rates are like?

How long do you use them for?

Any info appreciated

I don't know anything about FSH injections unless as part of IVF. I would imagine it's a similar set up to when you were taking clomid though, and I'd imagine they're trying this option because the clomid didn't work for you. You'll probably also be scanned to see how you're responding. Fingers crossed it works for you.

Oh, and I'd say you'll be self injecting ... but don't worry about it, it isn't sore. Just like a slight scratch - blood tests are for more painful...

Don't know much about it myself Maz, and Mr Google isn't very helpful either!

Maybe it's quite uncommon to be doing injections without other treatment......

Anybody else know anything about these injections??
