On Sunday night we set the alarm clock for 6am. Monday would be the start of the injections and, as we wanted to fit them into our morning routine, it meant waking at a ridiculous hour on a Bank Holiday. Not that I was complaining, I was keen to finally get started. Sunday night was restless.
When the alarm went off we both went back to sleep. I was exhausted after my restless night and the husband was sleeping off a hangover. When I woke up 20 minutes later I woke the husband and told him that we needed to get on with it. His response, get on with what?
He went downstairs to make the tea whilst I made up the injection. I was sat in bed waiting for him to return and I suddenly felt very sick and nervous. I jumped out of bed, run down the stairs, flung myself on the chair, handed him the syringe and told him to get on with it.
I couldn't look.
I felt it go in.
It stung.
Before I knew, it was over.
That was it.
We had started.
Now what?
We went back to bed with our tea and eventually fell back to sleep.
Needless to say, it was all a bit of an anticlimax.

Wow! You are on your way. Though that description could almost have described any 'normal' making making process on ovulation day.
I do agree that the anticipation of the shots are far worse than the actual needle going into our skin. By the time this is over you'll have your little routine going and it will become second nature. Just stay focused on the end result. If we wind up prego, it's all worth it :)
Hurray! First one over with! Well done.
Hope all of them are that easy and take little thought or concern. You're on your way, all the best!!!
i found your site through jenn and i wanted to wish you the very best of luck with your cycle!
i am hoping my second is anticlimatic too!
I love how we make this all out to be in our mind. And then in the end it is nothing. I hope all your shots go great!
Congratulations on getting over the hurdle of that first injection! I'm sure that every subsequent one will seem a lot easier.
Thinking of you, and hoping that you don't have too many side effects from the buserelin.
