Yay!!! What Doctor? I go there on weekends and will havr IVF at that office. I think u will be happy there. Where do u live again? They used to have bagels there on weekends during morning monitoring...soo good. Last time u went they didnt have them and i was so sad..haha..its the little things. Oh yay im so happy u are making a change..they are pretty aggresive which I like

 

[BlueStorm]

So funny that we are all in a row...how wierd!!

 

[BlueStorm]

Hey ladies just checking in and seeing how you all are doing. Also what kind of questions do you have written down so far?

I am so bad I dont have any questions yet..haha

 

[azlissie]

I'm so jealous that you all have appointments already! When I called my RE they told me just wait till cd1 in July and call them for a day 3 appt. It seems weird to me that they don't want to see me until then. It makes me feel like I'm not doing anything to help.

I've been reading a lot about CoQ-10 and Royal Jelly - supposedly they help egg quality, but then I've also read that the eggs are already as good as they're going to get. Maybe one of you with an earlier appointment can ask about any supplements/vitamins that might be helpful.

Good luck at all your appointments!

 

[MrsC8776]

azlissie I will ask about that. It will be info to know anyways. I can understand that they just want you to call on cd1 but it would be nice to be able to get a little bit of info in the mean time. Maybe you could go in just to make sure everything is up to date.

 

[smiledreamer]

Hi ladies, sorry I've been AWOL - work has been hell this week!
Hello to our new ladies, sorry to see you here, but glad for your company through all of this.

Got my thrombophilia blood results back and they were all clear
So just got to wait for chromosomal blood results in about 7 weeks and that's all my extra testing done! Hoping they'll be clear too as they can abort the IVF if they're not But i'm trying to remain hopeful.

remember this is my second IVF ladies so if you have any questions please ask, I do try and get on here least every other day. The injections really aren't bad at all, first one stings a bit but you get used to them so quickly.

Speak soon, love to you all

 

[MrsC8776]

JDH so glad to hear your other test came back and it was all good. I'm sure the other one will come back good as well and you will be getting started again.

I do have one question for you... I'm thinking a little ahead of myself I know but I can't help it. Hubby works in Afghanistan and I have a feeling I will need to start the meds while he is gone. This will mean giving all the injections to myself. Were you able to do them yourself or do you think it's better to have someone help you take them? Honestly thats my only worry (besides finances coming together) right now.

 

[BlueStorm]

Smiledreamer - Yay for another March appointment

JDH - I'm glad your test came back good, that is a step in the right direction. I'm sure we will have tons of questions soon!

Lissie - That would be a good question I will ask as well when I go

Mrs C- when I did my IUI's I did the shots myself. I don't know if IVF will be very different or not. I have not had to do any IM though so that may be harder but I"m sure you could do it. Do you have any nurse friends nearby?

AFM - I decided to start a journal to try to pass the time. Stalkers welcome! It actually felt good to write it all down...

 

[MrsC8776]

Thanks Blue! I did a trigger shot with one IUI and it wasn't bad at all. I do know some have to be IM with IVF and those are the ones I'm worried about. The ones in the bum ya know. I don't have any nurse friends near by but my brother does live with us... although I don't think I want him anywhere near my bum or even anywhere near me with a needle. I will have to add this to my short list of questions for the appointment.

Going to check out your journal!

 

[jchic]

Hey ladies! Thats so great we all have our appts in a row. Talk Abt updating that week, huh?
Mrs, blue- whats ur plan with questions etc. To ask?

Blue- im in Wanaque. I cant wait! I have heard great things abt rma. I forgot my first appt doc name but shes a woman, that I remember. I want to ask for clomid instead of femara and only 1 more cycle of iui since i have done 2 already with other doc. Then ivf!

 

[BlueStorm]

Jchic- thats right Wanaque I couldnt remember. I dont have a list of questions yet but plan to start a list this week. I will write it here when Im done then maybe we can all compare lists so we dont forget to ask important questions.

 

[MrsC8776]

Jchic you are right that week will be full of update but they will all be good one. I really don't have an official list going yet but I will get started on it very soon. Mostly mental notes so far.

Blue I think it would be a good idea to compared questions and notes!

 

[azlissie]

MrsC, you might look on Youtube for videos of tutorials for how to give yourself the injections. I know I've seen some before and the women have to kind of twist themselves like a pretzel but they get it done! I'll be doing all of mine myself because I live alone (I'm doing this with donor sperm).

I can't wait to hear how everyone's appointments go in the next couple of weeks!!

 

[MrsC8776]

azlissie thanks for sharing that with me. When time time comes I will look them up. I might even watch them sooner if I get bored and begin to drive myself crazy during this wait. I'm sure I will have to do some of them by myself but if we are doing them at the same time maybe we can compare notes on what works best.

 

[sekky]

Morning ladies. Its been a while i posted but i've always stock around anyway. so a quick question what is the criteria in deciding whether to go long protocol or short for IVF? Because i will really love to skip the down regging part. i go pricking myself with too many niddles cant stand it.

 

[jchic]

HI Sekky! I think its different for everyone....I can only speak for myself, but I know that I am pretty much ready for IVF in May because I have done 2 IUIS and will do one more next cycle....then thats my personal point to want to move on to IVF.
