Clomid & male factor infertility

[MySillyGirls]

Lupron is a suppressor apparently. They also use it on women who had a previous low response to stims. It is a shot in the outer leg. So, I'll do this today through next Thursday along with the pill. Then, I'll stop the pill, start my cycle and then start stims on cd 1 or 2. I should start stims on 1/10...

Oh really! I'm happy ur starting again xoxo have a great nite tonight everyone- happy new year girlies... No drinkies tonight for me !!! Xoxo

 

[Mamamirfy]

What a great way to start 2011! I really hope it works for you this time....i know it will

Have a wonderful NYE...I'm staying in and going to bed early. I've been too tired lately to even try to attempt staying out until after midnight. xo

 

[pink32]

We stayed at home too... Fell asleep on the couch till 11:58pm and woke juz in time to watch the fireworks on tv...

Lesley how's the lupron doing? any side effects? Is it an injection?

 

[MySillyGirls]

Hey, Miranda! The lupron is an injection in the outer leg...sort of the same place you'd have an insulin injection and it uses an insulin needle. I have been giving it to myself, but, tonight, I hit a vein. ICK!!! I hope that didn't mess up the shot...

I don't think I am having any side effects..maybe a minor headache, but I had that with all the stims last time. My neighbor said the lupron rocked her stomache...

How are you feeling??

 

[Mamamirfy]

Oh no!!! I hope it didn't mess with it either. I was always terrified I was going to hit something and I was just doing them in my tummy roll I'm glad your stomach isn't feeling the Lupron...I had mild headaches from stims too.

I'm feeling a bit better today. I finally got my prescription filled for the Diclectin - my nausea has been better and I didn't get sick today. Woohoo! I have been taking Materna this whole time as my prenatal but I noticed my Dr gave me a Rx for a prenatal vitamin...it has 5mg of folic acid instead of 1mg like in Materna. I didn't even notice because I just thought he was writing me a Rx for the nausea. Do you think I have to take a higher dose bc im carrying two? I think this is my last week for the prometrium vag pills!!!! I'm soooooooo happy about that but also nervous.

 

[Mamamirfy]

Just a few more sleeps til you start your stims! Yay!

Pink - How'd the move go?

 

[MySillyGirls]

Yes, I finished the bcps today!! How are you, chica??

 

[Mamamirfy]

I'm tired and bloated BUT soooo happy because today is my last day of the vaginal progesterone pills! I'm sooooo excited. I've been doing them three times a day since egg retreival. Wooohoo!

Have you gone in for blood work ultrasound yet? Can't wait to compare this cycle with last for you. I'm so excited for you xo

 

[MySillyGirls]

Yay on the end of progesterone!! I had to do prog shots my last cycle but, with my iui, they had me do suppositories. Ick...I preferred the injectable. They have already sent me the injectables for this one. I have had two ultrasounds so far and have another ultrasound and bloods on Monday. I believe I start the stims on monday. YIKES!

 

[Mamamirfy]

Couple more sleeps...can't wait to hear how you react to this protocol

Have you heard that ICSI usually produces boys? I'm so desperate to find out what I'm having.

 

[MySillyGirls]

haha..well, the two little girls across the street were both icsi

 

[Mamamirfy]

someone just told me that ivf is more boys and icsi is more girls......curiosity killed the cat

 

[MySillyGirls]

I am getting MAJOR cold feet on this whole thing...

 

[Mamamirfy]

oh no...whats wrong???

 

[MySillyGirls]

Nothing in particular. Just an emotional rollercoaster...
I started the stims last night and go in tomorrow for my first check-in. Let's hope there are some follies responding.

 

[Mamamirfy]

OK good...i was getting nervous you were thinking about not following through. I can't wait to hear about how you're responding

 

[Mamamirfy]

Any good news? How'd your appt go?

 

[MySillyGirls]

Hey, Miranda! The appt was fine. I had only stimmed for two days so all follies were tiny. She counted 12 tiny follies. In going back through my records, last time, they counted 10 tiny follies at 5 day of stims...so I am hoping that these will grow fast for my Friday appt.
