i am on day 1 of syneral spray and i am having the biggest melt down EVER!!!!!!!!
i had my first dose this morning and i dont think i got the full dose, dp was there with me when i done it and he said i sort of hesitated when spraying and he thinks i only got half ( if thats possible) i know some got in there cos i felt it. well anyway dp is in bed asleep and i just done my second dose and i made sure i pressed down firmly ( no hesitating) and i know some got in there but i am just worried now that i am not doing it right
maybe i am putting it into far up my nose and its stopping the spray from fulling coming out?? how far do you put it up?? and i get a little bit of taste in the back of my throat a few minutes after spraying but its nothing as bad as what other people have said its like, oh god i am doing it wrong arent i?????
please help do you think i am doing it right??
i can hear it go off but it just doesnt feel like alot is coming out??? and i know something is going in there cos i have to sniff or it will run out plus it feels wet?
god i am so angry at myself, its a simple nasal spray and i cant even get that right!!!
what am i going to do?? how do i know if this is working??
Firstly it sounds okay to me hun. I once forgot to take the cap off entirly..
Just breathe..maybe prime the spray to make sure a spray is coming out (this means just spray into the air). Like you said - firmly press down and that should be okay. I also felt it down the back of my thraot a lil too. I pusually put it about half way up my nose. Also I was thinking that you are probably getting most of the shot on the right spot which is why you aren't getting a lot of excess fluid run off...so to speak.
Also as far as Syneral being yucky I think what most of the girls are talking about is the hormonal side effects. This will take a few days to kick in and vaires from each person anyway - you may totally fine. I don't suffer too badly with the syneral either.
Try to stay calm hun - it sounds like you are doing it right....
I was told that if you get that taste in your throat it means you are doing it right
If it is the first time you are using the sprayer, as Rach says, you should prime - spray in the air - by pumping it until you see the mist. It is then ready to use in your nose. I normally just place it a little up my nose, squeeze then sniff (done at same time or close enough to it).
This can all be very daunting and I know you just want to do everything right but it sounds like you are. Have faith in yourself and your abilities . You can do this.
I can totally relate to the feeling of worrying you haven't done it right. I like Rach did my first spray with the cap on and I remember shaking with fear that it hadn't worked.
BUT my FS says it is almost impossible to do wrong (well at least with the cap off!). Your body will absorb the spray. Just give it a few more tries and things should go ok.
If in doubt ring your clinic and get your nurse to talk you through it. THey are so used to this.
Oh and if you do get the yukky taste, my sister swears that eating an orange straight afterwards heaps you through it.
That darn Syranel can be tricky! I too was unsure if I was doing it right but agree with all the other ladies have said. I called my nurse and she said as long as it is in your nose when you spray, it will work. It gets absorbed very rapidly through the membrane of the nose (gross but better than injections!). My nurse suggested I hold the other nostril closed, spray leaning slightly forward and then tip my head back and breath very deeply for a few seconds. I'm not sure if this actually does anything but it certainly helps to relax. If you can taste it, it worked and even if you can't taste it, it will have worked as well.
i though the group hug would work as we all have to stick together hun and yep sounds like you need a hug you poor thing
well i agree with all the other girls this SYNERAL can be very tricky and i to like rach have even left my CAP ON AND TRIED HEHE
but im sure your doing it right im on ivf # 3 sweet heart and i didnt even get to taste the syneral on my first cycle so i was unsure as well as some girls say you can taste it in your throat but i never, and it still worked -this time i taste the **** every single time so i think it varies.
it is so hard to actually no if your doing it rite but i rekon you are just keep going hun ,you will get use to it and i just SNIFF REALLY HARD AND KEEP SNIFFING FOR A WHILE it usually take about 10 mins for me to taste it.
you will soon get use to how you like doing it hun sometimes i stick it right in me nose other just sit in inside the nose and sniff reall hard always keeping your other nostril closed
take care and hang in there hunny
