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

[readyformore]

I've been told we use IE.

Well......I can say that it makes everything look pretty!

 

[JanetPlanet]

Suddenly, everything is center-aligned. Is it just me?

I'm a nurse, let's mention white blood cell counts okay? I can follow that conversation.​

Ready, lol That's funny.

So I just thought of a question you can probably answer. When I do my trigger shot, I believe it's intramuscular. I'm planning to put it in my quad, the middle 3rd of my thigh.​

My question is, I know there's a big vein right there somewhere, if I aspirate a bit and make sure there's no blood, is it safe to put the shot there? I put my subcutaneous shots in my outer thigh and alternate with my lower belly. I would just like to know I'm doing it right -or at least not hurting myself- Wow, I hope that made some sort of sense, it sounded like babbling when I read it back.​

 

[readyformore]

It made sense to me Janet!

Yep, no blood is good. It will be fine (Provided you mean the top third. Don't do it by your knee).

FYI-I do my triggers in my hip.

Just got back from scan and we got the go ahead to start today!!! Yaahhhhh So the spotting was my period because my ovaries are inactive and my lining is very thin I'll start the stims tonight and then we go for a scan on Tues. she said if I had a bleed and evrything looked good to go then the eggs we had would have fizzled out There was a small 1 mm follicle on my right ovary which she said is giving her hope the ovary is bouncing back because at my stim scan last time there was no activity on the right side. All we can do is try at this point and see what happens

 

[LLbean]

Janet..I really hope October is your month

 

[JanetPlanet]

Thanks Crystal, that's so sweet of you!

I've read on here about ladies picking up they're water intake while going through treatments..no one at the clinic had mentioned it to me..I know the obvious reason to drink more but does it make a difference with egg production or its just good to be hydrated. I only drink maybe a glass of water a day (or no water at all) and a few mugs of milo and maybe a coke or pepsi or a sunkist. In total I'm drinking maybe a few 8oz glasses a day altogether

 

[GreenFingers]

Hi Crystal, my clinic have been very specific about drinking 2 litres of water a day. It is meant to ease symptoms but also help stop ovarian hyperstimulation. You have to be sure you go to the bathroom lots as it can be a symptom that something is wrong if your drinking it and not much is coming out. Some clinics also add a litre of milk i believe but not mind and i can't stand the stuff!!!

Sarah great summary, great news about all the Bfp so far, very encouraging!

Afm- today is day 7 of injections, that has gone fast!! I feel a little swollen but otherwise good, next scan tomorrow morning and then egg collection Monday i hope x x

OMG Crystal! You must be chronically dehydrated. That's less than half of what your body needs.

You should have at least 6-8 glasses per day. Milk, water, juice.

Not sure what milo is. If it has caffeine in it, it doesn't count. Just like coke or pepsi.

 

[dachsundmom]

I haven't had a glass of water or milk in about 10 years...
