Hi Tina3421, I have had many shots over the past few years. I actually do not give them to myself. My husband gives them to me. I wanted to give them, but the first shot I just couldn't do it. So my husband gives them to me. It is nice because we have a system down and it is good because we both check the dose and I feel better that we don't give too much or too little. As far as side effects, it just depends. I think the worst medicine for me by far was the pill clomid. I have done better with the shots to be honest. I am taking now Gonal F, menopur (shots) and Prednisolone (steriod pill). I have been feeling a little dizzy after shots and I can't sleep at night, but I think the steriod plays a role in that. I have had weird reactions to some meds, but others don't bother me at all. I usually get emotional my first shot because I usually can't believe I am doing another round, but then I just stay focused on the outcome and I get through it. Good luck to you! Cemp
