What meds are you on?

 

[Rosina]

Here I go! beneathmywing, you were right. The needle = no problem

The SHG on the other hand... owwy. Nothing compared to a cyst rupturing though.

amoreamy starts tomorrow! Are you doing long protocol?

 

[beneathmywing]

Yay, I am glad to hear that, Rosina!! I am having a SHG done as well, not looking forward to that!

Nope, i am on short protocol. I have a day 2/3 start when af shows mid February.

 

[wishingforjoy]

Are any of you doing pre genetic testing. Mine is being setup now I'm still only on BCP have not gotten my protocol yet of what my meds will be. My retrieval is for the second week of March.

Is the testing the blood work?

 

[wishingforjoy]

No they test the embryos on day five of fertilization. There are various things they can test for but I am getting a 24 chromosome screening to check for abnormalities. So my embryos will be a frozen transfer because the lab that my clinic uses is across the country

Oh, okay. I'm not going to get that done. My doctor did not recommend that for me. I know a lot of girls on here who do get that done though. Good luck!!!

What meds are you on?

I'm on my last week of the pill and buserelin (Suprecur). Do you go straight to stims on short protocol? Not sure how it works!

Forgive me if I'm being daft, what is SHG?

So I'm on long protocol so down reg started today! I did my first injection this morning. It was okay. The needle is fine but the buserelin burns a little which is a bit creepy! I got a slight ras afterwards which I know is completely normal. In a weird way I was quite excited to do it!

It's a sonohysterogram, which is pretty much a vaginal sono where they put in saline to look for any fibroids/cysts/etc.


Yay on starting down reg today! Sorry the buserelin burns =( hope it gets better or you. How many days do you have to down reg for?

 

[Rosina]

The buserelin burned a bit for me too. I did the injection myself this morning and couldn't get it through my skin. Third try worked

Ow. Not fun. The nurse said she also found my skin tight and to try my thigh. I don't really have anything to pinch on my thigh though :-S

I was excited a bit too

Hopefully your SHG is less painful than mine

The Ganirelix is like that. The needle is very dull and you have to stab yourself!

Thank you! I've heard of that, I obviously already have Buserelin brain! Ha! My down reg is for two weeks, with a reduced dose after the pill finishes in around 5 days.

Oh no! Sorry it was a struggle for you I wish I didn't have anything to pinch on my thigh!!

Hope it was easier today

So I should be starting my stims at the same time as you!!

 

[Rosina]

My mother-in-law is a RN. I asked her for help with the injection. She said instead of pinch pinching my fat, I should push pinch my fat... went right in! No pain aside from the burning from the Suprefact.


She also showed me how to inject on my thigh... now I get it... def have somewhere to inject! Lol. I'm such a newb

 

[amoreamy]

Beneath- that's really cool! It'll be great to have you guys along for the ride all the way through! How are you feeling about it?

Rosina- I'm so happy you've found a way! It will hopefully much easier from now on!

So the injecting is going fine for me, I actually don't mind it so much but I'm getting the dreaded side effects I'm getting really nasty cramping/stiffness/pain in my muscles in my arms and shoulders. I've been googling and it's definitely quite common but ouch! Didn't think it would happen this soon!
