Did any of you ladies have Norethisterone? If so, how many days after stopping did your period start? I mean I stopped Friday, but my normal period should start tomorrow anyway. Wondering if its mucked it up.

 

[Wallie]

Yes, I was on it for my fresh ICSI cycle and if I remember correctly it roughly came when AF was due anyway.

Just checked and came when AF was due.

 

[Foxybabyhg3]

Thanks Wallie

Good, means this cramping is proper AF pains and not the half loaf of bread I've eaten this weekend!

 

[sandoval_star]

I took it, I had a bleed 4 days after stopping. It delayed my normal af by a few days. Not long until prostap foxy! x

 

[Foxybabyhg3]

Will they still give me the Prostap if I've not bled? Is the Gonal-F like epi-pens?

Sorry for stoopid questions. Having a mini freak out!

 

[sandoval_star]

I think you have to have a bleed before the prostap, but don't worry you definitely will. The nurse told me there's only something like less than 5% of people who don't. The gonal-f are pens, and honestly you actually don't feel the injection at all. By the 2nd day I was doing it myself, no pain or discomfort whatsoever. And no question is stupid... that's what we're here for! x

 

[Wallie]

Hi ladies!

One day to official testing day by clinic and I got a feint positive on an HTP today

Just been to the docs, got blood taken and it's now in the post to the clinic. FX'd clinic confirm my

 

[Foxybabyhg3]

This is indeed a lucky thread

Congrats Wallie

I'm still waiting to bleed-stopped taking Norethisterone Friday-nothing-I do have EWCM though

 

[sandoval_star]

Ahhhhhh! So so excited Wallie!! Hope it gets confirmed for you - what a lucky thread!

Foxy, I had no sign of a bleed until lunchtime on the 4th day after stopping norethisterone. I finished the tablets on the Sunday and did not bleed until Thurs lunchtime, I was getting worried too. It will definitely come, I'm thinking by tomorrow it will be here x

 

[macca197831]

Wallie congratulations that is fantastci news, I am so pleased for you!! This is definately a lucky thread!

I have my 8 week scan on Wednesday, im hoping I stay lucky and get a good strong heartbeat!! x

 

[sandoval_star]

Wow Macca, time has flew in! I'm sure you'll get a lovely strong heartbeat (or 2 lol!) You must be so excited x

 

[macca197831]

Thanks Sand, I havent allowed myself to get excited because im terrified of something going wrong. I am quite nervous about the scan but if I get that heartbeat on the screen I know I will relax and will probably be beside myself with excitement!!! If I get two then I will most likely pass out!

 

[Wallie]

Oh wow, imagine two in there! Good luck!

 

[Minno]

Ladies, not good news from me I'm afraid. After getting the positive beta on Friday I've been spotting on and off and today am now bleeding more and red. Think it's all over but going to clinic tomoro for repeat bloods.

Wallie, good luck tomoro hun. Hoping you get a good strong positive!

[Wallie]

Oh no Minno, I hope everything is okay! Ahh... this is so difficult and such a rollercoaster!

 

[Minno]

Not a lot of blood but enough to worry me. Really hate this. Up one minute and down the next. It's awful!

 

[sandoval_star]

No Minno! Oh I really hope all is ok and it's nothing to be concerned about. I'll be thinking about you and praying everything is ok xx

 

[macca197831]

Minno hope everything is ok, will be thinking about you and keeping everything crossed!! Xx

 

[Minno]

Thanks girls. Bleeding is picking up. I'm sure I'm out. Ah it's just too cruel after getting a positive on Friday

 

[Wallie]

Oh no...
