Need Help!!! Syneral spray?????

i will have to keep the minties and chocolate in mind for when i go shopping next

at the moment i am using the eucalyptus & honey lollies cos that was all that we had in the cupboard and there not to bad, but i love minties and at least now i have a good reason for eating them:p

thanks for tips;)

hey

just thought i would let you know that i had my bt today to check my levels to make sure there nice and low

well i just got off the phone from the clinic and she said they were hoping for anything under 200 and my results came back at 37 :dance: she said they are very nice and low ( that would explain why i feel so TERRIBLE!!!!!)

so this means i start injecting saturday (1st November) :clap:
plus i got my af this morning while i was getting ready for work, my nurse made a comment to me just before, she said my body is working and responding like clock work :lol:

i cant believe it. after 6 and a half years of my body doing nothing but LET ME DOWN, it feels funny to finally feel like its doing what its suppose to be. I think my body might actually like me FOR ONCE!!!! its a very strange feeling when things go the way they are suppose to. for the last week i have been worrying that i have been doing things wrong with the spray and having no confidence or faith in myself or my body, but its just so hard when month after month, year after year things went wrong, BUT for today i am going to be proud of myself and my body:D

but tomorrow is another day and now i need to focus on the injections, we all know that will be a whole new thread of questions and worries and the same sort of thinking that i am not doing things right :rolleyes:

note to body = sorry that i have no confidence or faith in you , just after so many years its a little hard not to, but keep up the good work and hopefully we can make a baby together. WE HAVE DONE IT ONCE BEFORE i am sure we can do it again ( i hope)

M2C, That is fantastic news! So very happy for you :)
When we did our cycle, I got a notebook and wrote down the things that our nurse told us, and heaps of 'hints' from the net and on here on doing the injections. :)
Are you going to the clinic for your first injection?

Nic

thanks nic:D

we wont be going into the clinic for our first injection, i wish we could it would probably make me feel better knowing that there there to help with the first one, to watch over us and make sure we are doing it right. but because we dont live in rocky and the injections are at night we wont be able to go in for the first one:crying:

they sent us home with a little booklet and a dvd that tells us how the pen works and stuff.

dp is a little nervous about doing it, and i am terrified:redface:

but once we get over the first few injections i am sure we will be fine.

Hi M2C

Just wanted to pop in and let you know I think you are doing a great job. It's not always easy - especially your first cycle. As for the injections - try not to worry they really aren't that bad. I don't really like the trigger one - most girls don't :lol: but the ones from the purgon pen don't hurt much at all!

Goodluck...

M2C - don't worry, it's natural to be nervous about the 'first injection' ;)
I've only done one round of OI (not IVF) and I was ok about it right up until I was about to inject myself on the first morning!
After a bit of picking the pen up, putting it down, hopping around, picking the pen up, putting it down - you get the picture - I just pinched my belly, wiggled my toes and did it! And it wasn't so bad.

Try not to work yourself up too much or you'll tense up and it may sting more. Just breath and wiggle your toes!

I'm starting IVF in Jan so I'll be back onto the injections again!

Bummer about not having the clinic to help out for your first injection. We had the same, the girls showed us how the pen worked and sent us home. I ended up going to the local health clinic and asked if they would help me out with it. I then freaked out because the lady they got to help me, saw the pen and excitedly announced to me that she had seen one of them the week before at some course she had just done :o
DH was at work for my first one. He didn't want to do any of my injections, but he did my trigger for me and it hurt the least!

Will check in on Sunday to see how you go :) I'm sure you'll be fine

Nic

just a quick question

is there ANYTHING that i can do to make me feel better??

i am so so tired, all i want to do is sleep!!! my eyes sting all day cos i am so tired and just want to sleep, i am going to bed early and getting enough rest, but 2 hrs after waking up i feel like i need to go back, i have NO energy what so ever, which doesnt go down to well with the new job, i am stacking and packing shelves and loading and unloading pellets and i am so physically tired when i get home, i just crumble into a big mess! i have been working everyday for last 2weeks and i am working everyday ( mon-fri) until egg pick up.

one minute i am snappy the next i am crying, i am totally over it!!!!!

so is there anything that you guys could suggest that might help with my energy levels?? and to help with feeling so tired??

i need :help::crying:

moodiness is part and parcel of the hormonal fluctuations with ivf - you've basically put yourself into a drug-induced menopausal state, so think of all those middle aged ladies that are moody and horrific - and that's where you are hormonally

i would suggest, if you can, eat a low GI diet - you'll keep your sugar levels more constant, and will have less of the ups and downs. sleep when you can (for me i went from 6 hours a night to at least 8 hours when i was cycling cos i needed it) and don't push yourself too hard

i KNOW it's hard seeing it's a new job, but you need to think - in as little as 4 weeks, you might have your BFP - and you'll have to try to remember there are some things you can't do safely for that little bubba....

thanks for that bg your a darl:D

i am getting 8hrs sleep a night but doesnt really make a difference, but hey if this is whats got to happen to make me a baby then i am happy to take it.

i dont know what i am going to do with the new job, there is alot of lifting and picking things up that are heavy, just worried about how i am going to get around it in tww, plus if i get bfp? i need this job and i would feel terrible if i asked for light duties when at the moment we are so busy, plus they would want to know why i need light duties for possible 3mths if i get bfp? but on the other hand i have been through so much to try and have a baby i dont want to stuff that up either iykwim?

ahhhhhhhhhh i think i just need to go to bed and let this day be over:wall: way to tired and to teary to even try and get my head around all of this, we will just take each day as she comes and will cross that bridge when or if it comes.

Join the club - I have had one of those days!!!! I keep trying to focus on the big picture but man this first time around is very very hard!!! Stick in there - together we will get there. I know you have probably written me an email - I came home early from work today with a massive headache and tears in my eyes - not a good sight!

OMG i am freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have my very first injection for ivf tonight, in about 47mins but hey who's counting:o

i am so scared but very excited:lol:

i think the only reason why i am worried and stressing out is because dp is doing the injections and not a professional lol. its not the needle that worries me i dont care about that, i have had plenty of needles in my time, plus i have had the injections for the iui's, it just that its an amature who's doing the injecting and just worried that it might not get done properly.

well i have a feeling its going to be interesting lol and hey at least we can look back on this time and have a good laugh about it lol.

Hope the injection went well .... ??

hey cece

thank you so much for checking in on me, your a sweetie

everything went PERFECT:dance: dp was so wonderful, it didnt even hurt:clap:
it stung a little afterwards but other then that it was fine.

i think dp is feeling a little more apart of all of this now, when i was on the pill and with the spray there is not alot he can do other then be there when i am not feeling well, but now that he is doing the injections i think he is feeling like he is apart of it now, which is great cos i want him to feel apart of it.


OMG I HAVE STARTED MAKING ME A BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance: :jawdrop::hooray:

Good to hear your first one went well. It's such a focal point of your treatment doing the very first injection.

I'll keep my :crossfingers: for the rest of your cycle.

thanks for that cece:D

tonights injection hurt more, i dont know why?? it hurt the second he put it in??? not to worry its all over now, hopefully tomorrow nights one wont hurt as much.
