Hi all! I hope everyone is doing well.

I started lupron today and will take my last BC tonight. Then I have an apt for a baseline us on Wednesday. I'm excited to get the ball rolling on this cycle!

 

[scerena]

lucie fab news I bet you're excited!!! Can wait or you to get started

 

[ttcbaby117]

paracematol I think, is like Tylenol....it is acetomeniphen...geez my spelling is horrible!

Scerena - so sorry about the virus hun! I am doing ok and thank you so much for asking. I am just praying this cyst will be gone on Monday. Feel better hun!!!!

Lucie - you are well on your way! I cant wait to hear about your bfp!

Bizz - what do you think is causing the headaches? The Gonal?

 

[sekky]

Hello Ladies, kind of lost my way to this thread thought i subscribed to it

Will catch up and do personals later.

A quick update on me - day 18 of BCP to and CD 21. off to the clinic in 3 hours to get the next step underway. Don't know what it is yet but will surely update you ladies afterwards.

(A suggestion - why don't we have an update on the first page on who is doing what and at what stage we all are) if its not too much trouble

 

[scerena]

ttcbaby I'm praying that your cyst will be gone too Hun really can't wait for you to get started

sekky gl at your appointment can't wait to hear what your next step is

 

[Bma11]

Scerena- hope you feel better soon
and yeah paracetamol is Tylenol and does nothing for my headaches. I've been taking one migraine pill a day :/ it does have acetaminophen aspirin and caffeine. But my nurse said anything was fine right now. Except I'm staying away from ibuprofen !

Sekky- good luck! And good idea about the first page of updates!

Ttcbaby- Monday is right around the corner. Hope you are keeping busy!

 

[sekky]

[scerena]

Bma honestly bed away it's totally safe I will be we've got loads of condoms- not sure how that's going to work lol we haven't used them in years

Hahah... Are you supposed to use confirms!

It is currently 2:30 here. And my scan is this Monday! I should be triggering next Saturday! Wow

[scerena]

Bma I'm not sure? I read on a forum elsewhere that you should, they didn't tell us wether to or not at the clinic so thought I better get him to just incase

It's 9.30pm here....

My scan is Monday too my estimated EC is 2nd may (not this thurs, next) but its an estimate I guess depends how I'm responding to the meds etc... I need to get loads of eggs as I'm sharing them

Screens - take care hun I really hope you feel better soon.

Mission - you'll be a pro at the injections in no time

 

[scerena]

mission I never got headaches last time I was stimming, I got headaches from the nasal spray, but I have a virus that's probably what I thought the nasal spray was doing but I've a virus my gp confirmed... I've terrible throat and chest seems to be getting worse and not better

You will be fine on the injections Hun first one is scary then after that you will be a pro

ttcbaby thank you gl with your scan tomorrow I really hope the cyst has gone

 

[Bma11]

Welcome for the list!

Mission mommy- I think mine was just an initial reaction. I took bravelle before and was fine but this time they added menopur. I think the menopur gave me the headache, diarrhea , nausea. But honestly, it was really bad for one day. Then I just took pepto all day the second day and now I'm fine.

Is the lupron intramuscular ? Good luck, hope DH will get confident & do it for you.

 

[bizzibii]

Bma11- we have been told by the FD to use condoms.
Mission mommy - I am having headaches from the meds. The nurse said it happpens sometimes. Side effects

My appointment is on Thursday.In approx 4 weeks time some of us will know for sure ......how strange. Scary ;-)
