Ivf Feedback, Please? Posted: 01-09-04 21:19pm
Hi - this is my first message. I'm 38
and i'm starting ivf treatment in a few
weeks' time. I'm a bit nervous, so it
would be great to have somebody who could
share their experiences with me. Even
the bad experiences - forewarned is
forearmed, after all.
I'm pretty isolated where I live, and all
my friends and family are on the other
side of the world. My husband is really
supportive, but he has his limitations
when it comes to providing experienced
advice!
I realise that these forums are largely
used by people seeking advice, not those
who are seeking to give it... But here's
hoping!

Have you taken the shots before? Did you
start with the ganatatropens(sp?). We
did the shots three times to do artificial
insemination, but I never made any eggs.
If you haven't done the shots before I can
give you good advice about the shots. It
really helps if you ice the area for 5-10
minutes before the injection. Also if
you lean against the bathroom counter or
over the bed and relax your muscles it
won't hurt as bad. You can massage the
injection site lightly and ice afterward.
