anyone over 35 going for fertility treatments this year? IUI, IVF etc

[NorthStar]

35 Smiling I'm trying progesterone cream this cycle, it is supposed to be less effective than the suppositories that ready has mentioned, but I'm not a fan of putting stuff up my cooter

This is the stuff here, it's widely available by mail order from the UShttps://www.nhmworldwide.co.uk/acatalog/Emerita-Paraben-Free.html

Yep, I drank the progest cream kool-aid too, LOL

 

[NorthStar]

apparently a lot of women were reduced to applying horse estrogen in the past before these creams were available. I was a bit gobsmacked about that one

It's like the pigeon droppings that the Geishas used to put on their faces to lighten the skin; unfortunately, they ended up poisoning themselves instead.

I'm pretty sure my thyroid meds come from a pig..........


Anyway, yeah NS I got really tired of stuff going up the vag. First the penis, then the progesterone, then the tampons. By the time it was done, I didn't even want the penis up there anymore!

I have suppositories in the cuboard from my IVF cycle.. never used any though but I wasn't looking on the experience with excitement The thought of putting stuff up there makes me feel gross

 

[dachsundmom]

I hear that the extra cooter progesterone has to be manually "removed."

you know what, didnt bother me in the slightest! Id read people kinda complaining about it on here, but it was nothing. Just push up a couple of pills and thats it (Im squeemish about medical stuff up there). I got white streaks here and there on my panty liner, but thats not anything to cry about in the grand scheme of things and compared you go through the whole cycle!! Im glad I had the vaginal pills rather than the injectable oil I hear people taking about...sounds painful.

 

[LLbean]

I did the oil...I lived LOL

 

[crystal443]

Yeah the nurse said you have to do a finger swipe to get rid of the excess..not good

 

[dachsundmom]

 

[crystal443]

Yeah LL, that's right you did have the oil it was painful to inject though wasn't it?

 

[LLbean]

Yeah LL, that's right you did have the oil it was painful to inject though wasn't it?

it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be to tell you the truth...it got itchy and warm afterwards...but most of the time it was ok (unless my hubby was being silly and not paying attention)

 

[sarahincanada]

Yeah the nurse said you have to do a finger swipe to get rid of the excess..not good

finger swipe??!! eww sounds horrible and I didnt do any of that!!

LL ive read the oil goes into the butt or the muscle and that sounds terrible to me!!

Butt cheek so yes, upper quadrant of the butt cheek, towards the hip

I never manually removed any excess progesterone. I was never told to do it though.

Honestly, the injectable sounds good to me. I have no issues with meds and will inject myself. Yes, I'm sure it would get old, but the crinone I was taking would warm up throughout the day and start to leak out. It made me feel like I was peeing my pants. So, pantyliner was a must. Like Sarah said, it's not a big deal in the scheme of things, I mean I had to wear liners for discharge at the end of my pregnancies.

I guess that some of the 'leaky' effects could have been differed if I had choosen to use it at night. But.......um........even though they said it wouldn't interfere with sex, it just seemed weird to me.

Yes, I'm going to go there.........
Another reason I didn't like the crinone.......I wouldn't let my husband perform any oral sex while I was on it. There was no way I would want to eat that stuff, and I didn't want him to either.

 

[crystal443]

Yeah Sarah, that's what the nurse said but I never got that far with it lol..weren't you told to swipe before you added more? What a wierd conversation

 

[sarahincanada]

crystal no I wasnt! for my IVF I was inserting 2 in the morning and 2 at night so that was quite a lot...perhaps my vajayjay sucks it up or something

ready so true, I had to think about it when I read that, and Ive realized we barely have sex in the 2WW as on BDing cycles we are so exhausted by then, and on my IVF cycle I didnt want anything to flush away my blasts (semen or orgasm) so didnt BD/oral then either
