Is anyone starting IVF shots next week (April 28th)

[Shiraeli]

I begin taking shots for an IVF cycle next week (April 28th) . I would love an 'email pal' with someone who is going though this process at the same time. I'm worried about waking up early to go to the doctors office every other day, I'm worried about the shots, I'm worried about the needles hurting, I'm worried about the hormones effecting my mood, I don't know how I'm going to be sane at work, and most of all I am worried that this entire process won't work.
I only know a few other people who have been though this process. Thanks for posting and telling me you are out there.

I am also going through my first cycle of IVF, today makes cycle day 5 for me. I am taking clomid for the first five days(started on cycle day 3). I will begin my injectables on tomorrow with Gonal-f + Menopur + Cetrotide.

So if you wanted to stay in touch, we can follow each others process together. I also dont have anyone I can talk to about the whole IVF thing cause I am the only one in my family that has fertility issues.

I am hoping and praying this is my first and last cycle!!!!

I am going through my very first ivf cycle right now.  I am a week ahead of you.  Ivf is a daunting experience but it's durable.  Daily injections are not too bad once you figure out how to mix/use all the meds.  These days I actually like the mixing part. I am also doing blood work and u/s every other day which is very tiring since I also work full time.  I do my blood work at around 7 am before work and my u/s after I finish teaching.  By the end of the day I feel soooo tired.  So far I have no side-effects from ivf meds at all, no mood changes either. I am using Lupron + Gonal-F + Menopur.  What meds will you be using?

I am also worried about ivf not working for me but there is no cure for this axiety.
Best of luck to you!!!
