Hi!
I just had my 3rd Menopur hormone injection..
It's all a bit uncomfortable, I still find it a bit scary and really dread giving myself the injection! Anyone else?
After all the tests we've had, we're now starting with IUI.
Curious who else is going through this and how do you all feel about it?
I'm a bit confused/chaotic/insecure because of all this haha
Hope to hear from you!

Love,
Nora

    Nora, I totally get that. That insecurity is so normal. I always pricked myself with trembling hands too. Make sure you have a fixed spot and use a needle that you can actually see. Sometimes it helps to take a quick look at the injection site before you give the shot. Stay calm, it just takes some getting used to. Good luck with it!
