I can't believe I did it - I kinda went on auto pilot and stopped thinking and just put the needle in and pressed the plunger thingy. My DH couldn't believe it. I listened to all of his tips and followed them to the letter.
Yep it still hurts after the needle comes out - kind of stinging and itchy but I keep massaging the area. Actually I read the pack and it is Puregon I am using. I'm sure Gonal F and Puregon are same/similar.
Even though the dial is set for 450iu there is always some left after 2 jabs - should that be so?
Also I'm still not 'feeling' anything apart from period style cramps this afternoon.
I hope I can do this again on my own tonight, as DH is going out on Saturday.
Kashby and Jane - I'm going to have a good look around the LTTC thread now x
Yes, puregon and gonal-f are both FSH, so pretty much the same. There is always overfill in the vials, so that's normal. There's normally about 1000iu in the 900iu vial. If you wanted to you could use it, but it would mean doing 2 injections (100 to finish off the vial and then 350 from the new one) instead of one.
I'm a poor responder and was on 450iu of gonal-f with our last IVF, which gave us DD. My first FS wouldn't go above 325iu, but we changed and our new one said 450iu.
Have you had a follicle check (u/s) yet? I hope this cycle goes well for you.
Hi everyone,
I'm on day 3 of gonal-f today... I'm only on 100 iu and also on metformin as I had about 30 follicles last time with only 35 iu on my IUI run. I'm curious to see what happens and will be going to have the first scan on Wednesday... This is my first IVF cycle and I'm a bit nervous. How did everyone go and is there anyone out there starting this month?
Hope you had/will have a positive result!
