I've done 6 rounds of IVF and am doing my 7th round right now for baby#2. Yes, thinking of injecting yourself is scary but after the first couple you get used to it and get good at it. The nurse usually goes over with you how to do them, let's you practice and/or does the 1st 1 for you. The pens are pretty fool proof. And if for some reason you do mess up they can just adjust your dosage for the next day or add or subtract a day from your plan. You will be constantly monitored by ultrasound and blood work every 1-3 days so if the egg follicles are too slow they up your dose and if they are too fast they just decrease or stall your dose.

You'll be fine! I didn't take the class my clinic offers on the injections. I didn't want to pay the money :) I watched the videos on freedommedteach.com. I like them better than youtube. They are very professional and very detailed. And like mnor said, you're constantly monitored, so it's pretty hard to mess up the whole cycle. I was most nervous about the trigger shot. It's a bigger needle and you give it in the muscle. But after icing my butt for 10 minutes, I honestly never felt a thing! My husband is scared of needles so I did everything myself. I personally thought it was kind of cool, I felt like a Dr :) I should be starting stims again tomorrow night and I'm looking forward to it! I'm kind of weird ;)
