Hi africa my mum will be injecting me she's used to it my brothers diabetic was just looking at all the things and them needles have put the shits up me they're massive I'm so scared of needles aswell there's so many of them aswell :/ good luck everyone hope everyone is well xxxx

 

[africaqueen]

Becky- do u get the choice of a norm needle or a pen?
I thought the needles were small... Eeeek. My diabetic friend said she could do them for me but with different shifts in work, looks like il have to learn to inject myself... more worried about buggering up the measures etc tbh... it seems so complicated xxx

 

[babys4beckyx]

calm down ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was shittin myself as well when i recieved all my drugs. youll be glad to know you do use the little ones to inject and thats it!, the big ones are to mix ur drug power with the clear solution only, they go no where near you. my husband did mine but i did a couple myself and i was fine. you'll be fine as well, know it all looks abit much but its quite simple broken down and explained by the nurse. no more nightmares about big needles and good luck xxxxx

id convinced myself it would be a negative test so was so shocked when it was positive. my husband and i cried with joy. i keep checking the test stick to make sure its positive. the ec isnt pleasant but the rest of it is ok x

[africaqueen]

lol i dont look rough just yet but can imagine it will take it toll at some point, my best mate is due in may and to hear her suffering i cant c the attraction of pregnancy but the end result will be worth everythin. hubby and i have decided on jorja for a girl and maybe bailey for a boy but that one isnt set in stone. we wont be findin out till the birth what sex it is. xxxx

i think ill be scanned around easter im waiting for my date thru the post, also ill be able to relax a little then as its the first 12 weeks that r the "danger" zone. how far along are you with your treatment? i got lost last week when i went away couldnt catch up with all the threads lol x

 

[Del xx]

Hi girls and thank u for the welcome! Hope u are all well?

Africaqueen and babys4becky the injection are really not that bad, I was so nervous when I first started to self inject, but u soon get used to it!!
My OH used to help me with getting the injection ready, but I wouldn't let him anywhere near me with the needle its self!! lol!
I bet u 2 can't wait to get started,so exiting!!

Laura - A holiday sounds fantastic!!! We also went away for a week when it failed in November and it did us the world of good! The next 3 months will fly past 4 u!

Foxydevil - Congrats on your pregnancy, I'm sure u can't belive it!! It's given me so much hope reading your posts on here!! x

AFM - counting the days untill FET!!!! Let's hope they stick around this time. Keeping my fx! xx

 

[laura25]

awww thanku Del, yeah i think a holiday will help lots a nice break away from it all!! good luck to u hun! xxx

lots of babydust to u all!!! xxxx

 

[Del xx]

Thank u Laura! I just really hope they thaw for me!
They've not told me much about the quailty of our 2 little frozen ones! The 2 that were transfered in Nov were not great.
The nurse said I should expect a phone call Tuesday morning and they will give me a time to come in!! I hope they ring early enough because it will take me 2hours to get up LWH!!! I might give them a ring in the morning if I can get through!!!

Anyone else on here with any experience of FET?? Any tips? I've gone with a natural cycle this time so no meds.

Hope all u girls are doing well xxx

[foxeydevil2]

little pee 5 days is way to early, they give you a date for a reason, i know its hard to resist but all it does it put a downer on you. my fingers are crossed for you for friday, just take it easy.

its not the pessaries causing your sore boobs hun, i looked it up. the pessaries are progestrone hormone and its rise in oestrogen that causes the sore boobs, hope that gives u abit more confidence? xxx
