Ah, dang! I watched a different video that didn't tell me about the first time prep. So no, I didn't do that. Hopefully I didn't short change myself too much. And of course I used a totally new pen tonight than this morning - so that's 2 pens I didn't prep.

Glad you sent that link - I'll make sure to do that tomorrow before the shots just to be sure!! Thanks LLBean!!

why did you use a different pen?

If you already used it it makes no sense to prep it now, I think your first shot prepped it hehehe. The next NEW pen you use do it

I used a second one because I was jacking around with the first one trying to figure out if I did it right. My PM dosage is less than the AM so when I was messing with it - I set it for the AM dosage and couldn't figure out how to re-set it so I just used a new pen.

I think I got it all figured out this morning. Have to pull really hard on the pen to make sure I'm getting the full dosage. Not sure I did that yesterday either.

I think I did my best to make it way harder than it needed to be!!

when you pull it the last arrow you should see is the one with your dosage...you turn the dial on it until the arrow aligns with the dosage you need and pull it out hard

Hockey- Can't wait for your scan My Gonal F pen was like my Puregon pen I only needed to turn the dial to the dose and that was it. The nurse said they just stopped using the pens that need to be primed so thankfully I didn't have to do that or I would have had it all messed up

 

[crystal443]

where are my reports ladies? come on tell us about your ultrasounds!!!

 

[sarahincanada]

we have a heartbeat


omg what a sound! I burst out crying straight away.

so Im waiting to go in and im already tearing up as so nervous and still feeling shakey due to being in bed all week. they call me in and insert the vaginal ultrasound. after a minute she says 'well theres definitely a uterine pregnancy' and then there was silence which felt like ages. and then suddenly a heartbeat sound filled the room it was the best sound Ive ever heard! the heartbeat was 156bpm.

Im measuring 7 weeks 4 days, no idea what that means as Im 7 weeks today going from LMP. does that mean I say Im 7 weeks 4 days now? Ive never understood how they work that out. If I do a ticker and say from my LMP is only says 7 weeks so should I go 4 days back?

so happy, just 5 more weeks to get through, and this darn sickness (but today made it more bearable) will get a photo up tonight!

FXd for you hockey
