Re: IVF & injections
Good luck. I just recently started and it felt overwhelming at first but it really gets better.
This board is amazing with any questions I ever had about it (and I had a lot) .. so feel free to ask!!!

Re: IVF & injections
I had the same feelings, don't worry it really does get better. I watched some youtube videos before I did my injections and when I went in for monitoring I would ask questions to make sure I was doing it right. You should really check out the youtube videos, a lot of women have video blogs about their IVF journeys. It was very informative!

Re: IVF & injections
Once you do it once, its a non event. It becomes routine, like brushing your teeth...

Re: IVF & injections
It is overwhelming! I was very intimidated by all of the injections as well. Online videos helped me a lot. Good Luck!! They do get easier as you get used to them.

I'm a witness. 
Like everyone said, once you do it the first time, it gets easier. I am the last person in the world who I ever thought would be able to inject herself, but it quickly became routine. You'll be okay!
