Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - March 2008 #1

[kyles68]

Hi Ladies

Boy, is it hot and muggy here in Perth today - I think last time I heard the temp it was around 33 degrees

plc - glad I could be of some help

Izzylou - good luck with your first cycle

Janie - Glad you are feeling better today. I had a giggle at your wish to cancel IVF if pregnant (definitely a good thing). Happy 1st wedding anniversary for Sunday Thank you for my 2WW wishes - my first cycle has been good so far - no reactions to synarel or puregon, reasonably painless injections etc - my lining however was only 6mm so had to start using pessaries 3 days before EPU and I only managed to grow 3 follicles and collect one which was such a strong little eggie that it fertilised to day 3 and was transferred 10 days ago so now waiting to see the result.

BecD - hope your follicles grow even more over the next few days - re injections I found one day painful next not so bad - I take my solutions out of the fridge about 5 minutes before injecting and find this helps - if the solution is too cold it tends to sting a lot

Hi everyone,

No personals today i am just trashed. I think the pregnyl injections are knocking me for six. Only 11 days to go. Have BT on fri to check levels hopefully all is well and no pess.

Hey BecD

I had puregon not gonal f, but I found that in the later injections they began to hurt, the last one ie. trigger hurt the most. It was odd because initially it was a breeze. But after collection I realised that I was super sensitive even the skin on my legs. So I just thought it was the effect of all the drugs.

Good luck

I'm here! Had another wobbly time this cycle but FINALLY made it and trigger tonight with EPU Friday. All a bit stressful and feels like a BFP just to make it to EPU!! So hoping like hell for a good result Friday now...

Hello ladies,

Im still just stalking as still no sign of AF

Quick question.. Where on your body do you have to inject yourself? Sounds silly but i have no idea about any of this. And also, does it have to be at the same time everyday? and is it usually morning or night? Just curious!

In the stomach, about the same time and whatever suits!! Night is most suitable for most couples, but not always. The needles are not too painful either, especially if you put some ice or a cold 50c piece o the spot first. Best of luck

Thanks for the info Kell.. The reason i asked about the same time is because i would prefer to do it at night with DH but dont they do the first one at the clinic? That would mean it would be during the day?!

Hi All
How are we this Thursday morning? Me - nervous. I have an appointment back with my [old] FS today to discuss working on my lining while waiting till May for another IVF (my choice). Strange, I thought this would have been one of the first things we did but anyway, if its only tablets that will be relatively easy compared to the whole cycle. So, I managed to fix the mess I created with seeing new FS & then not wanting to proceed with them. Phew!
Paula - I would take my injections each morning at the same time & in the stomach. I would use a different side of my tummy each day. It didn't really hurt at all. My DH made sure I was doing them myself so that if he was ever at work, he knew I would be right.
BB - best of luck for EPU tommorrow!
BecD - the only time my injections hurt was when I was close to OHSS (33 follies). The cycle got cancelled so i didn't go to trigger, but I think they hurt because my stomach was so swollen. GL for the rest of the cycle - I hope all those little follies keep growing big & strong.
Izzylou, Belle333, Janie71, Saph, Kyles, PLC & TL - hi Girls!!! hope you are all doing well.
Best go, DH is just leaving for work & I will be running late if I don't get in the shower now. Speak soon.

Paula, just wanted to drop in and say when I did my injections, I started on one side of my tummy (the right) and every day moved the injection over a little bit towards the left side, so I wasn't injecting in the same area. That way, if I got a bruise or a bit tender, I wasn't annoying that area any further.

Hi everyone,

Still plodding through the TWW final BTon Easter monday.

Paula - I find that under my belly button is the best spot for the needle or in the thighs. But as i am only going through OI my doses are relatively small. I found the trigger hurt the most as it was the biggest dose.

Peta - it sounds like you may just need a break from it all. I was feeling like that when things were going so slowly with follicle develiopment and i was having to make three hour trips for scans. Wehave decided that if this cycle is a dud we are going to have a break and move to a clinic that is closer.We have one just round the corner but wanted to go to our FS clinic but considering we haven't seen him since before Christmas what is the point.

Saph hope your Tww is going along well
Peta how are you today?
Needles different side each day worked for me trying to find a differnt spot

Hope all of you are doing well. I resgined yesterday so spending a few days on the couch before the lap on Tuesday

and for all
