Hi everyone! I am new to the board and wanted to first tell all of you good luck and I wish you all the very best results!!!! This is my first IVF, we have male factor and bypassed everything else and went straight to IVF . We will also have ICSI. I just finished my BCP today , have been taking LUPRON since June 2 , and will start stims on Wednesday the 11th. Approx. retrieval is the 25th. I am so scared and so excited for the possibility

For any of you that have started stims, are all the shots bad??? The Lupron hasn't been that bad, I have one little bruise after a week of shots.....funny that the right side of my stomach never hurts (knock on wood

) but the left side hurts alot alot and I can't figure out why????? Anyways, i am scared to have to add shots everyday. i will be on menupur and the follistim pen. I also realized today my trigger shot is Ovridrel (sp?) and is sub Q so I don't have that huge needle everyone talks about...it is about the same as the other needles.

How about everyone else? Scared of the shots? Retrieval? Implantation?
Thanks for listening, it is so nice to have a place to ask questions.!!!
good luck ladies and I look forward to hearing all your wonderful news!
