Injectibles are not nearly as scary as they sound. I used Follistim and the needles were so incredibly tiny I didn't feel a thing.

Best of luck to you!

Thank you Jenny for the nice welcome! I'm kind of nervous about the injections but I responded well to clomid, I assume I will as well to shots.

p.s. I love the name you chose your little girl...I may be somewhat partial though
