Woot, AF finally came so just like myturn I am officially CD1!!!! Eeekkkk, Puregon injections start tomorrow!!!! Does anyone have any advice as to what time I should do the injections??? Apparently there can be some side effects so I thought I would ask if anyone has found a 'perfect' timing schedule!
Thanks guys!!! xxxx
Jo, I always did my injections (puregon and gonal-f) in the morning. Your Dr should have given you instructions since the timing usually depends upon their preferences.
Woohoo myturn and Jo for being CD1!! I did my puregon injections in the morning too Jo, my gonal F or orgalutran injections were always in the evening. I always got my instructions from my IVF nurse.
Hi to everyone in here, I hope you're all travelling ok
AFM, I have my IVF nurse app. on Tuesday to pick up my drugs. Our finances for the new business are still not in order, with new things popping up all the time to pay, lawyers, finance brokers, etc, I really hope there is enough money for us to do a cycle in Nov. I will be so devastated if we have to move it out, again.

congrats to jo and myturn for getting ur af! Im having pretty bad side effects from the metformin.diareohea mainly and cramping quite painful. Taking imodium to try n help. I was just wandering if anyone else who is on it had this side effect at first then your body got use to it? Because i dont want to stop it if its helping me.
Thanks Wish, Miss B and Juniper! My IVF nurse hasn't told me when to do the injections yet... I'll try to give her a call in the morning! I had heard others on another forum say to do them at night to sleep through any bad side effects so I just thought I would ask you lovely women to see what you do...
Wish: I wouldn't take immodium to help with the diarrhoea... Speak to your FS an get their opinion, but at uni we were told that immodium can cause lots if problems if used continuously... Try eating more fibre and protein and less fat rich foods... Hope this helps!!!

I used to do my injections in the morning (Gonal-f), so I could tick it off the list of things to do and wouldn't be nervous all day about it. I don't think my clinic was very strict with times as they told me to hold off till after the blood test to see if they need to up or down the dose.
Yeah Metformin and diarrhoea, it will definitely get better after a while. My FS told me to take 1 tablet a day for a week or so, then 2 a day and if I wanted I could take 3 a day, but as I'm not taking it for PCOS, she was happy for me to stick with 2 a day, which I have done since February this year. - Like n2l said take the tablet with food.
AFM today is day 2 and on for a blood test tomorrow, my first FET this month, am a bit nervous, don't want to get my expectations up too much as another BFN will totally crush me. I know we were lucky to find out we can actually fall pregnant, even if it was with help, but who knows if we'll ever get to the end of 9 months with a precious little one in our arms. After 3 years of trying we're starting to loose hope as there are no guarantees. Sorry about the whinge, just pretty sad as someone was asking me how I was doing after the missed m/c... Thought I was starting to get over it, but no such luck. Anyhow fingers crossed for everyone and sending hugs as well. And yay for AF for myturn & Jo!
Me4ever, hope the bt goes well tomorrow. FX this FET is the cycle for you.
Wish, drink water too so you don't get dehydrated.
Miss B I hope everything with the new business gets sorted quickly so you can get that November cycle in.
AFM, just hoping this cycle goes really really quickly. I have done nothing productive this weekend and feel deliciously lazy! wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.
Myturn - yay for CD1. Its bitter sweet really isn't it? For me it was like starting a new chapter, but never forgetting.
Jo - Yay for you too x I had to take my Gonal F at 9pm each night. Not too sure about Purgeon.
MissB - I hope that you can afford to do a cycle as soon as possible. I hope the new business is going well.
me4ever - Good luck with your first FET. Its a lot easier on your body than a stim. Lining up to do my last one was so easy. Apart from the daily BT. Of course the TWW is always hard lol.
Wish - I hope your body gets used to the metformin soon.
Hi to N2L, juniper, miloro, and everyone else.
AFM - I am back home now. I feel like I can feel my left ovary still. I wish it was implantation signs, but too early for that lol.

Wish and dreams- did they start you on one for a few days then 2 then 3, that's what they did for me and it helped with the diarrhea and sick feeling, info forget it now and take 2 close
Together I get the diarrhea again. Hope it settles down soon for you.
Myturn - yah for af arriving, it's awful to think we get so excited by it when we want to start a cycle.
Missb - I hope you don't have to put your November cycle off and the finances sort itself out.
Jo - I always did my injections in the morning, I noticed with puregon I got a rash where it wen tin and it itched for about ten minutes then it all went back to normal, I was less hormonal on it than gonalf.
Me4ever - hope your scan results tomorrow are good :-)
Vic - crossing my fingers for you.
Hi to anyone I missed.
Afm- just waiting for af and juggling finances for our ivf cycle as dh's car blew up today, we decided 2 wks ago to not get a new one yet and save some money....so much for that theory, new car is on the cards.
