MM are you doing the shots in your thighs? I didn't have any pain issues when I did them but I got to do them in the upper quadrant of my butt where the muscle is You should ask.

 

[mmbelle87]

Brandy- no they are in my butt. It forms like a rock hard ball, and I've tried all the tips and tricks like massage, warming the PIO, etc. I don't know why I have such a hard time with them while others seem to be fine!! :/

I had a really hard time too... I had to give the injection and then walk around for 10-15 minutes to get the muscle moving and then I would put an ice pack on the injection site while I slept - that helped a little. by the end of 2 weeks I couldn't even walk!

YAY!! You will be PUPO soon

 

[Mrs. T]

To the ladies with the BFPs:
1. Did you bed rest after transfer?
2. How long did you bed rest?
3. Did you do anything else during the first couple days after transfer (ie: pineapple core, keep feet warm, watch a funny movie, etc)?
4. Any other advice?

 

[Bma11]

Mrs T-

I was on bed rest for three days starting the day of transfer. Got up to shower and eat

I watched funny DVDs.

My first meal after transfer was macaroni and cheese.

 

[~Brandy~]

I was told to return to normal activities. I didn't take anything extra. I had ohss bad so I wasn't running around much anyway for 4 days

 

[scerena]

mission fantastic news I am so happy for you

starlight & mmbelle fx'd the next few days hurry along so that your scans get here ASAP

mrsT no bed rest here I was told to resume normal activities, I too had ohss so I wasn't up running around either but I was doing normal things...
I kept my feet warm and drank fresh pineapple juice I also slept on my left side as if I was already pregnant

august, bma, brandy I hope that you and all your babies are doing well???

to anyone I missed I'm on my phone

 

[mmbelle87]

Mrs T- I was on strict bedrest for 3 days starting day of transfer, I was so sore from PIO shots I didn't mind laying around I watched funny movies, ate Mac and cheese for my first meal after, and drank lots of Gatorade.

August- I'll have to try sleeping with ice on it! Thanks for the tip

Mission- YAY, so soon!! Crossing everything for you

Starlight- any more preggo symptoms? I feel like I don't have very many, and I wish I did so I wouldn't worry as much!! Can't wait for our scans!!

Thanks Scerena!! Did you buy things for your little girl yet?!

:hello: to everyone else!!

 

[Starlight2012]

Mrs. T - after the transfer, our doctor advised to rest a bit but mainly resume normal activities. Transfer was done at 9am, and later that afternoon, I went on a girls trip for the weekend (one of my best friends was getting married so felt bad about getting out of this since we didn't tell anyone about IVF!). It did help to keep my distracted though

mmbelle - no major symptoms!! just sore breasts and very tired, but I keep looking out for nausea/morning sickness and disappointed that I don't have that, haha, silly, I know!! can't wait to hear about your scan on Friday

mission--so excited for you, next week will be here in no time!!

scerena - can't believe you're 17 weeks already!!!

hope everyone else is doing wonderful!!

 

[mission_mommy]

Brandy,scerena,mmbelle ,starlight-Thank u so much!!

Hey everyone

Mmbelle ~ I didn't get any symptoms until 9weeks! And when the morning sickness came it came like a flood... I'm only now starting to feel a little better.

MrsT ~ I was told no bed rest but I did anyway. I was in bed the day of transfer and five days later! I got up and let the dogs out, cook eat, shower and in the evenings my husband would take me out for dinner or desert. I just took it very easy meaning I did not go to work LOL

As for me ~ Tomorrow is my first appointment with the specialist (high risk doctor). I'm having the NT / Sequential Screening done tomorrow during this appointment. I'll be 12w2days tomorrow. My next regular obgyn appointment isn't until Sept 16th and I'll be 16 weeks so I hope they can tell me the genders then. I'm dying to know what these babies are! Well... dh and I decided on cloth diapers! I know it'll be hard work but it will be more economical for us especially with 3 babies! Pampers would cost us $6000 for only 2 years!!!! I live on ebay and esty looking and researching the cloth diapers and makers
