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

[LLbean]

Crystal yes, that is the trigger shot correct? I had to mix it too

 

[sarahincanada]

no thats the LH product they supplement the FSH with....I used 75 of that daily with my Gonal F. Gonal f was in a pen, but the repronex I had to mix. Crystal as soon as the liquid hits the ball of medication poof it dissolves! also I read that if you leave it to mix a little while it stings less, I found that works....I would mix it then do the other medications then get back to that one. ahhh its all coming back to me!

OH so that would be my Lupron...mine did not need to be mixed...the only mix one was the trigger HCG shot

 

[crystal443]

Oh ok LL that's what your Lupron was I used a puregon pen last time but the Gonal F Pens are disposable The Puregon one takes cartridges but isn't disposable. LL my trigger last time wasn't mixed but I haven't picked that up yet because he could still change it, so it could well be this time. Did either of you have to use the estrogen patch? This was a last minute thing when we were walking out the door. Its for the lining, I've never had an issue with my lining but he said its a preventative with all the medication.

He also said not to be alarmed if he needs to stim a bit longer to get as many eggs as possible It'll really depend on this first scan and what that shows

Thanks for the tip Sarah, I start the Luveris on Friday so I'll mix that one up first

 

[readyformore]

Sarah don't you worry about me...I will catch up at some point hehehe

you know I cant help but think that you didnt get pregnant as a little girl is waiting patiently for her turn

Oh, LL. I am so sorry.

[Indigo77]

The first ultrasound is worth the wait! I don't think it really sunk in until then.

My stoic DH almost lost it in front of the sonographer...

Hearing the heartbeat for the first time was amazing!

I will never forget that day.

I would suggest having one baby at a time! It is a lot easier to stay mobile with just one and your husband has to help less which is great. My husband did not like the infant stage. I want to try out just having one to see what that is like. Is this your first?
