Help - Confused & Grumpy

DH and I attended the injection class last night, we should begin starting the repronex within the next couple of days.  BUT - DH seems to be having second thoughts now that the time has here.  He is less than excited about this entire process (especially having to give me shots.)  I am so confused - not sure what to do or say, we seem to be on edge.  This is our first go at IVF,  and I am curious if many DH's experience this prior to starting the injections.  Will it pass or should I cancel the cycle and wait for him to get on board with the game plan?  We have been TTC for over 2 years - I don't understand why he has to change his mind now, when we are approx. 2 days away from beginning.

Unfortunately men are hard to read sometimes, I had to have vit b 12 injections (im)intermuscular, which is a pretty big needle once a month sometimes twice-- well I taught him how to give them to me just becuz I am quezzie giving myself shots but the strange thing is he was diagnosed type 1 diabetic not too long ago and me teaching him how to give shots came in really handy.  Tell him not to worry about it tell him it hurts him more to give you a shot than for you to receive it maybe it will calm him down.  They say women are the more difficult species yeah right lol...

I went through a similar experience.  My dh definately wanted to help but he was real anxious-- he can't stand needles for himself.  I actually wanted to do the ones on the belly myself-- I thought that being more in control would help.  One day, he wanted to give the shot and when he did it hurt more!!  Of course, when it came time for the prog. shot, he had to give them.  It wasn't bad at all.  Someone told me that the thought of the injections is much worse than what it actually ends up being.  Believe me, I was so concerned with the whole process, once I started it was just fine.  Good Luck to you.  Stay strong!!!

My DH HATES needles.
I had to give to myself all the injections including prog.IM.
It wasn't so bad and I was actually very proud of myself.At least you are in control of something in a process where you are not in control at all!
Good luck and do not worry,it looks much worse than it is in reality.

My Dh paniced about 2 days before.i started follistim injections this month..but when it came down to it he was wonderful..he always panices a little..during stressful times and this the most difficult times in the 5 years we have been together..hang in there..start the cycle and good luck!

I gave all of my shot (in the belly),  except the progesterone.  I would have a talk with DH and decide what to do.  I think he will come around.  BTW, I also had to give some of my progesterone shots, due to DH being out of town.  It wasn't bad.  Good luck
