Hey Disney, Plex and Sammy,
Many thanks for your reply.
spoke to the nurse, she said that often during summer, mild bleeding happens due to heat. And she said that we should continue with the med. So I took my first nasal after speaking to her.

But you know the problem is that we did have intercourse, although not when I was ovulating, although I am sure that its not implantation, but there is this doubt of grain left in me. What if?
It really feels like life is playing a cruel joke on me. Why just few hours before my treatment? and I never have this kind of unusual bleeding.

Also there is no preg test that will detect it so soon. But dh has already gone looking for a test that is sensitive, so I can take a test before the second nasal round. Just for our peace of mind.

Many thanks lovely ladies for your reply. I am very down, and on top of it have guest at home...grrrrrrrrrrrrr...pray for my sanity please.

Mind if I join?

I'm in the process of setting up egg sharing at the Lister clinic in London. I'm 22, and have PCOS and hypothyroidism I was only found to have hypothyroidism through my egg sharing bloods, so they want me to try and get it under control before we start, so taking thyroxine for 4 weeks. Getting blood retaken in two weeks to see if it's worked!

Hope we all get our bfps soon!

Welcome Shosho and nlk
Shosho have you heard from the clinic yet?
Sunshine I had a similar thinking happen to me before I started down regulating I think it's our bodies playing with us. But take the test just incase.
Sammy lucky your not bruising,
Plex not long now

Afm
I start stimms today,

 

[Shosho]

Hi bundles thanks for the welcome. No still heard nothing as get they said upto 72 hours if I stare at the phone any longer I think I will go crazy!!!!!. Where are you upto with the process??. It's great to talk to other in the same boat.xxxx

 

[bundlesofjoy]

Ah ok and is today the first 24 hours?
I have been down regulating since the 15th July, on buserelin started Simms today will be going to the clinic on tues for my baseline scan

 

[Shosho]

Yeah today made it 24hours the longest of my life lol. How have you found the medication? I'm getting excited but nervous got a bit of a needle phobia but sure I will be fine. Where are you having your treatment? I'm at st Mary's Manchester.xxx

 

[MishC]

Sunshine - Glad you've gone ahead with your treatment. It's all so exciting i'm sure everything will be fine. I bet the spotting was just caused because you'll be excited/stressed/Anxious etc about the treatment and hopefully the positive outcome that will come with it.

Shosho - Hi and i'm looking forward to hearing your news regarding your phone call. Did you make the call yesterday?

Bundlesofjoy - Good luck with the stimmin. What does that do again? I think I've had the baseline scan. Is that were they check how many follicles their are?

A little tip for you... Make sure that you don't make the same mistake that I did my first time around. After you swab the injection spot with an alcohol wipe, make sure that you allow enough time for it to dry completely. It will BURN otherwise. I'm not a fan of needles, but the injection part isn't really so bad once you get used to it. Press the plunger on the syringe very slowly, and count to 10 before you pull it out. I make sure that I have a gauze pad ready to cover the injection spot as soon as I pull the needle out, and then I use that to massage the spot for a few minutes afterwards. Good luck!

 

[bundlesofjoy]

Shosho i have been ok with the medication the only thing I have had is tiredness. I am a wuss with injections so dh has had to do them while I look away.lol if you get dh to do the you should be fine.
I am at bourne hall in Cambridge.

Mishc yes the baseline is where the check how many follicles are there. Simms is where after down regulating ( basically putting body into menopause) all the eggs are stimulated so that they can mature at the same rate and time

 

[sunshine8]

Lovely Ladies,

I have another important query, I am starting my down reg on CD22, instead of CD21.

I am doing this as I experienced some unusual spotting just before starting the medication and freaked out. The nurse said to go ahead an continue with my down reg med. But I wanted to take a preg test before I start-just to rule out.

Would it matter greatly starting down reg on a long protocol On CD22 ?

Much Thanks

 

[Shosho]

Thanks for the advice Disney I'm sure once I get the first one out of the way I will be ok dh has said he is fine with doing them for me so hopefully closing my eyes and counting to 10 should do the trick. Sending lots of love and luck to everyone night night.xxx

I find it easier to do it myself as I can control how slowly everything goes in. I don't trust DH.

DH is extremely helpful, though. He mixes my meds for me, draws it up in the syringe, and swaps out the needle for me so that all I have to do is inject it.

Good luck with your first one. Hopefully it's not too bad for you.

 

[sammy1987xxx]

Hey just checking in to see if everyone is ok?

Sorry to hear thSt your having to work at the moment have you got some time off planned?. How have work been with you? I've been lucky enough to be able to take a few months off work.xxxx

 

[Plex]

Sunshine - Its good to know that its the meds causing the bleeding. Did u take a test in the end just to make sure? xx

Nik - Im in a very similar position to u, pcos, hypothyroidism and on the egg sharing journey How far along the process are u if u dont mind me asking? xx

Bundles - How are u finding the stimms? xx

Shosho - Yay!! Not long left at all now hun xx

Disney - Thanks for the advise about injecting its a really good thing to know about as its bad enough injecting without a burning sensation xx

Sammy - Hope work goes quick for u hun, must be awful in this heat too? xx

Im suffering in this heat majorly cant wait for some more thunder storms lol xx

 

[sammy1987xxx]

I plan to take er and the day after off then come back depending on the eggies. Then after et I'm going to take more time off maybe 2 weeks maybe less depends how I feel.
How about u.
My boss has been amazing saying take what u need. He sed he was privileged I had told him xxxx

 

[Plex]

Sammy - Ur boss is so nice! I havent told my immediate boss but have informed HR and theyve just told me to take it as sick, which i will do as im lucky to get full pay when off Not looking forward to telling the boss though as not sure what to say

How did u all approach ur managers? xx

 

[sammy1987xxx]

I'm a manager myself so I had to tell my area manager who is male and this helped as they don't really know what to say. I just sed I was having Ivf and may need time off. I get full sick pay too and he sed not to use my holidays but going to take scan days as hol as I live away from the clinic and its even further back to work but he just sed whatever I wanted. He sed he wants to reduce my stress bless him xxxx
