I just gave myself my trigger injection. The nurse thought she would give me 'the good stuff' cause im a midwife and dont have a problem mixing/preparing drugs and can give intramuscular injections. apprently it works beter than the subcut ones (into tummy skin) but cause its IM you would need to get a nurse to do it for you.
well i just want to say, giving myself a IM injection is NOT something I ever want to do ever again! but now it is done! and in 36 hours we will be picking up all those eggies!!!!!!
Hi Ladies
JBM ~ hope your transfer went well. Goodluck in TWW -
Teirae ~ hon, FX'd for lots of great eggies!!
Hope everyone is well - same old same old here - I did have a very wonderful weekend though with my lovely girl friends playing tourist around Wodonga and Beechworth etc
Got our adoption information and read through all of that. So much involved in going down the adoption route but we have the time to do it and we've been through so much already I'm sure we can get through anything they would throw at us
Hi girls- haven't been in for a while so thought I would update you.
My stim cycle ended in a bfn- well, I got faint lines, a period and had a hcg of 20, last week my hcg had dropped to 10, so I was very disappointed again. Saw FS today who doesn't think there is a problem, and has arranged for a HRT FET next, as I have 3 frosties.
I have a dilemma in that I booked in for a second opinion with another FS at a different clinic, the appt is in 2 wks so I will have gotton my AF by then and would be going on the OCP. Not sure whether to just go ahead with FET ( as I feel a great sense of urgency due to my age) or see the other dr and perhaps start again with a new clinic, which might take a few more months. I hate the thought of waiting longer, I will be 39 in a month. But I don't want keep doing transfers if there is a problem that means they will never work- arrrggghhh, why is life so hard??
Will have to talk to DH when he gets home.
Anyway enough about me-
Loops- nice to see you mate, I have looked into adoption too, youa re right it is a lot of work and at my age I basically ruled it out, but you have time on your side and if you put your mind to it, you could definately do it!x
JGM- hope the transfer went well, FX for your tww hun x
Teirae- is your EPU still on for tomorrow?? Hope so! I know what you mean about work, its so hard, I get phone calls everyday asking me to do extra shifts and when I am in a cycle I feel so guilty about calling in sick etc. Most people at my work know though, its just easier that way for me. Hope it works out for you x
Hi N2L, kass, williever, tantee, anyone i have missed.
Good Luck for today Teirae, I hope you get lots of lovely eggs and that you come back to us this afternoon with some great numbers. Fingers crossed for you.
Saffy - I'm so sorry that your last cycle did not go well. So close, yet so far. It can't hurt to get a second opinion. If you do decide to go with another one, maybe you can continue on OCP until that time. I started OCP about 2 weeks ago but am waiting on genetic testing results to come back. I will be remaining on the OCP until I am ready for my next Medicated FET and wil be skippig the sugar pills as this will help keep my endo at bay. When are you scheduled to start HRT? (Is this Estrogen?)
IKWYM about time 'a tickin, I will be 37 next month and every month of waiting feels like you're adding 6 months to your journey. I hope you come to a decision that you are comfortable with and that your BFP is in one of your three little frosties.
Loops - Glad to hear you are having some time out with some good friends, it is always uplifting.
Hi to all you other lovelies, I hope you are travelling well. xxx
Sorry to just jump in but i feel like i am going insane. My husband and I have just started our first IVF cycle. I had a lot of cramping after the egg collection and then had transfer on Monday (18/04). It has only been one and a half days but it feels like it has been YEARS! Since the transfer i have continued to have cramping and pains like a stitch. Also last night i woke up in so much pain that my husabnd was going to pack me in the car and take me to hospital! Is it normal to have quite a lot of cramping?
Unfortunately, what you are going through is pretty normal. Bloating and cramping goes with the territory
I recommend panadol and a wheat bag (not too hot). Make sure you keep your fluids up. I have heard sustagen helps (not sure why!). It will get a little better each day. In the meantime, take it easy if you can. Your body has been through a lot.
Hi ntl, tmcl, tantee, saffy, loops, jbm, williever and everyone I've missed (sorry!)
Just wanted to say a huge thankyou to everyone for your support It has been so hard getting to this point and it has been wonderful to have you all here
Good luck everyone!
