Are you feeling like a human pin cushion yet? I did three injectible/IUI cycles (where was Gonal F? The pen looks doable) in which I mixed various things. It would take me several minutes to work up enough nerve to jab myself with the needle. I can't imagine having the suppression drugs on top of it and the PIO after that. You are brave. I hope those little follicles are growing and behaving themselves.

Oh Jemma I think the needles are something you just learn to accept and they really aren't the worst part once you get over the shock of the fact that you'll be dealing with them. I think the anxiety of going through all the different steps is much worse and THAT part never improves with time. And you are not a wimp. Anyone who decided to do a drug free home birth is NOT a wimp in my book!

Em yes. And the Gonal-F pen came along this year so I'm sorry you missed it. It's a life saver. Thanks for looking out for me cb ;)
