@deni I did IVF. I wasn’t crazy emotional. It is worse for the person who is trying to have a baby I think, because there is already a lot of emotions going on anyway. I did gain a few pounds while on the drugs, but I think it was more water than anything else.
I would not say you need a partner to give you the majority of the shots, they are just little needles, like a diabetic needle. I did have to get a couple intramuscular shots the last few days, my husband gave those to me in my butt, but I think those were to prepare my uteris, and you won’t need that, because you are not going to get pregnant, so I am not sure if you will have any of those type of shots at all? You will take a shot class, to learn how to do it. If it freaks you out you can quit. If you are most worried about that, maybe ask to do that right away, to help you make the decision. Honestly, they are not a big deal. It is a little scary at first, but you get the hang of it quickly.
I did mine years ago, so the protocols change, some of my info might be old info, but the basics will be the same.
