Thanks for that Miss.B

I've just taken my first sniff! Not sure if done it correctly but did taste a bit icky at back of throat. Both nostrils thoroughly blocked up now! Waiting to take drink some juice.

Hi Sonia, Just wanted to stop by and wish you all the luck in your journey.

Also my Sister did IVF and she had a HUGE fear of needles! She doesn't anymore She also ended up doing regular accupuncture and I know she would definately reccomend it in conjuction with IVF.

Hope all goes well for you.

Hi
Just to update. I am taking my synarel sprays and so far no problems. But tonight my stomach feels crampy like I've started my period. Keep checking myself, as I know that I would be way too early.

If I am, not sure what to do apart from contacting the nurses.

Thank you to MummaSue, ferrals5, Pholi and Aussiegirl777.

I'd love to get a recommendation for Chatswood or even Northern Beaches for an acupuncturist.

Ah, the whole IVF cycle is a complete mind &^%&. Cramps and hot sweats were my main symptoms when I was sniffing the synarel. Also, just not feeling myself, like feeling really upset and agitated. It all went away when I stopped sniffing.

Always contact your clinic if you're unsure or need reassurance about anything.
