Hi, I'm new here...Just jumping in to see if I could get some encouragement!!! Tried 2 IUI's last year both BFN (done at obgyn office 2nd w/clomid). Went to Re in March this year and found out I have low ovarian reserve and mild endo ... So we are starting with a superovulation iui. Re says doesn't think we need IVF yet...Long story short I have 13 days till I start Follistim and Menopur injections and I'm freakin out!!! I was hoping for someone to tell me if the injections are bad or not and if anyone has been successful with this type of cycle!!!

Hey!!!

I did an egg donation a couple year ago and the injections themselves weren't that bad, but my metabolism changed and I ended up gaining a ton of weight during the two weeks I was injecting... They ended up getting 18 out of me...so that was good and I gave someone a baby...that helps....

Hi Debi

I did the stomach injections a few years ago & couldn't believe how easy they were! Some people ice the area but I just pinched the skin & it was fine. Seriously, I wouldn't tell you it if it wasn't true. They were not bad at all. After about 2 weeks it got to be annoying & a little sensitive, but never painful

Good luck to you & keep us posted! Jump in on our "chatty " thread!

Hey everyone!!! I started my injections on Sunday Aug.10 and so far they hurt like hell, but I deal with it. Today the norse just called and said I'm stimming slower than expected so they upped my dosage from 125 of follistim to 150 and 75 of menopur to 150. So I start that tonight and go in Friday for U/s & B/W. I had my hopes up and hearing this it gets me down a bit... I really hope things turn around for me!!! Oh my estradiol on last Thursday was 31 and yesterday it was 111 and today its 121... Anyone had any problems stimmimg? How did it turn out?

When I was stemming for my IVF I was going too fast so they slowed me down and my e2 plummeted...but it turned out just fine in the end!
