To all who have asked.... started puregon 200iu tonight. I do't think the neddle is bad at all but maybe I'm just used to it. Even though IVF as such is new to me,this is my 8th puregon cycle!!!I also have to take pregnyl at low dose every second day so the puregon is nothing compared to that .Nor clexane injections for that matter - they are the worst. Blunt needle and bad bruising at injection sites!!
Can't remember who aksed but the prednisolone is to hopefully reduce my risk of m/c. in simple terms, there is a theory that I have an overactive immune system possibly attacking my babies hence the prednisolone to supress my immune system. If I do fall pg, I would be on it until 20weeks.
The Clexane (a blood thinner) is for similar reasons. I have used the clexane for 3 of my pregnancies (including my one and only success) but the pred is new this time around.
BW - thanks for the info re pred side effects. I'm feeling cranky and irritable already but think its anxiety related! I'm going to be on so many meds, I don't think I'll be able to tel where the side effects are coming from.
