Im scared of pain but need to do ivf or iui,any advice on how it feels ?

I did IUI. I don't know what the plan is at your doctor's office, but I had to call on Day 1. From there I went in for internal ultrasounds every other day alon with blood draws. I started injectible drug therapy after that first appt and it went every day for almost 2 weeks. I am also diabetic so I also do daily injections in the stomach twice a day of insulin. Honestly the IUI drug needles are bigger than the insulin ones. I will not sugar coat it and tell you it doesn't hurt or that you get used to it. I can still feel the pain in my arms from the blood draws and the pain in my stomach from them pushing to examine my ovaries. The stomach shots hurt, but the Hcg boost hurts much worse. But ever single shot, painful ultrasound, and agonizing blood draw is worth it. Some how you find the strength to go on. When you think you cannot possibly take any more this strength comes to you. I am not trying to scare you. I have a beautiful son who made everything worth it. I am actually hoping to go through it again :-) It's a crazy, scary, exciting ride that you will gladly get in line for again. Good luck. Email me anytime if you have questions or just want to talk.
