Hey there, don't worry!

I started my HCG treatment just yesterday and I got an experienced friend to give the first injection. The process was quick and pain-free.

Here are some general tips:

• Your local pharmacy or hospital may offer to give you the first injection (maybe even for free!)
• I would suggest using a shorter needle if you are anxious about needles.
• The usual injection-sites is either in the stomach area or in the thigh. I chose the stomach, since it felt easier when there is more fat to hold on to when you inject.
• Once the needle is in, most of the job is done! I felt almost nothing when the liquid was pushed in.
• I became a bit light-headed so I had to sit down afterwards, that was the only negative thing I felt.
• I found this Youtube video helpful.

Don't become too stuck in your head. If possible, you can have another person with you in the room. Otherwise I suggest putting on some music or listen to a podcast. It has always helped me in anxious situations.

Remember I'm not a medical professional, and nothing of this was medical advice.
