I am taking mine 3x a day. Morning, 5pm and before bed. Everyone sure is different.
 
We're definitely all different! I was told to take my progesterone 3xs a day, vaginally, and to be sure to take it even the morning of ET.

Update for me...Faint line on the FRER this morning. It's very faint but it is a line. Hubby even texted me to confirm when he woke and found my test. If he can see it, I know its there. Crazy excited and hope it just keeps getting darker! Beta is on Friday

PRAYING FOR YOU :happydance:
 
Congrats Rae. Will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you that your beta will be great! I go for my first us and bw tomorrow since starting Stims. Any advice? Really not feeling much yet so I'm hoping something is going on.
 
i was told to use one the morning of et and then bring one with me to put in after, i was also doing pio.
 
Also how long did everyone's period last once they started meds? I got mine Sunday and still have it today. Tonight will be my third night of Stims so I just wanted to make sure this is normal.mmy nurse said it should stop soon. Just worried I'm not responding to meds if my period is still here. I'm so paranoid about everything.
 
Exciting news Rae! Hope to hear more good news soon!!

My period was really light after coming off BCP and only about 3-4 days. But, I was only on it for 16 days since we had to change my dates suddenly and I also have PCOS so I normally don't have a period for 3 months.

I don't think I started feeling anything working with stims until almost a week in, then things started getting a little crampy and full feeling. My advice for the blood tests is don't look if you don't like needles and if you have an arm that works best, stick with it. My right arm I pretty much never felt the needle and hardly ever bruised but I tried switching back and forth to give it a break...my left arm was terrible. My veins were much harder to find in that arm and they kept rolling. I bruised so bad. Good luck!

familygal- did you hear back about the beta yet? good luck! It does sound very scary but I'm sure you are in good hands with your clinic.

missannabelle- 8 fertilized is a great number- good luck with the transfer on Thursday!

Hopeful girl- good luck with the ER today. I'm just getting ready to go into mine now and trying to remember not to eat anything (I'm a big breakfast person). ps. I'm also in Maryland!

Thanks amylou123! Just catching up on posts. 12 eggs and anxious for tomorrows phone call about embies. I'm remembering the ovary pain from last time now *ouch*
Awesome you are in MD!
 
I didn't even notice you girls are in MD! Me too! Are you going through Shady Grove?

Missanabelle- I was told not to take them until the evening of ER. So I've only had a few so far. Everyone gives different advice. I'm on 400mg of cyclogest. 200mg in am and 200 in pm.

Afamilygal- how are you? When do you go for your beta and get results?
Praying that it's not an ectopic!!

AFM- 6 eggs retrieved and 4 fertilised. Hoping they continue to do well!!

Congrats on the four that is great! Good wishes comin' your way!
 
Wow Rae!! horray! that is wonderful, cant wait to hear your beta results!!! GL dear!!!

afm, I am not pregnant after all. it was between 0 and 1 so thats a big fat no for me. :cry:
TBH, I am mostly relieved since I REALLY was dreading another ectopic but I still cant help but feel sad that it didn't work. although I didn't really think it would, I still had some hope. :cry: I am just so scared that IVF won't work at all and I won't be able to have my own children. It's all just too much right now. stupid ovaries. crappy uterus...

and so now I am officially taking a break. oh man, I need it. yesterday alone aged me a few years!! (they didnt call until WAY late in the day- not cool)
I meet with my Dr a week from tomorrow to discuss where to go from here, what the new protocol will be and all that jazz.

and tonight, I am having a drink. I nice big glass of bubbly prosecco and that is that my friends! :):drunk: Ill take a good sip for all of you who are pg or working hard to get there!
I'm going to try hard to REALLY enjoy this time before September. massages, hiking, yoga. NO worrying and temp taking, no shots, no blood work. (and won't go too crazy but I WILL be using the hot tub and drinking a little on my birthday!!!) :winkwink:

AF was terrible yesterday but is actually fairly light today which is odd but I think I might have bled out the majority of it yesterday (seriously it was hideous...)

GL to all of you that are now in the 2ww or getting to ER soon!!
 
afamilygal,
im so sorry you are not pregnant..hugs down the web to you xxxx
enjoy your time off and have fun, i sometimes feel life is on hold......i know it is for a baby but, it can be hard.

we will get there its just going to take a bit longer that other people....

take care xxxxxx
 
Familygal- I'm sorry it didn't work but glad you are not going through another ectopic!
I hope that your meeting with your specialist goes well next week and that he has a plan for September!
Xx
