Morning ladies. Its been a while i posted but i've always stock around anyway. so a quick question what is the criteria in deciding whether to go long protocol or short for IVF? Because i will really love to skip the down regging part. i gopricking myself with too many niddles cant stand it.
Yes, I did the injections myself, I prefer to be in control of things like that but others said it was better for hubby to do them. You'll be fine doing them on your own honey, once you get the first one done, the rest is a doddle. Plus my nurse had me in to do a practice one to make sure I did it correct, so it really is ok. i think the thought it sometimes worse than the actual thing!
Depending on where your FS tells you to inject it can be really easy. My Buserelin had to be done either in my stomach or the top of my thigh. I chose my stomach as it seemed much easier. all I had to do was 'pinch an inch' and inject it straight in. Simple lol It stings a bit but again you get used to it. You use the same place for the menopur injections too, but getting that into the syringe is the most tricky part - something i'm sure we'll discuss nearer the time lol
All in all it is very straight forward, so please don't worry about them. I did though, so I know where you're coming from, but like I said, the thought is much worse than the act itself, and I only bruised once, which the nurse said I must've been too rough as I got used to them!
Hugs to all

Awhile back I asked about IVF meds in a new thread and how they decide which protocol to put people on. I only got 1 reply I think but it helped me understand a little bit. Here it is... https://www.babyandbump.com/assisted-conception/882911-question-ivf-meds.html I'm not sure if it's the same thing you were wondering but I thought I would share with you. I will be asking about it at my appointment coming up.

Thank you so much! It's great to know that people can do it alone. I think they required us to take a short little class on injections so that should help me. I know I'm getting ahead of myself but it's so hard not to while I'm playing the waiting game. I do know we will all be here for support from one another when the times comes for each of us!
Blue I will go ahead and check out your questions. I think it will be great to compare and share them so that none of us miss anything at the coming up appointments.
but I think the quicker the better, then you've got less time to build it up in your mind!
So I'm asking about TESE because hubby had a vasectomy years ago, we got it reversed, but there was a very good chance it would heal up. I honestly think this happened and we will be finding this out at the appointment as well. 
It was frustrating.
to you all xx
