Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

It really isn't too bad. It's mainly like a smear or transfer really. I had about 7 seconds of sharp pain first time and this time nothing but a bit of poking.
I actually had to check when he said he'd finished as I was waiting for the 7 seconds of scratching. Just had some AF cramping on and off since.

You'll be fine and I really think it's worth the benefits x

Thanks! Makes me feel a lot better =) Someone wrote once it was the worst pain they almost felt and I almost died in fear lol

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words. There's been a lot of action on here since yesterday, and I feel badly that I don't have time right now to respond to everyone.

I had good news today. My estrogen suddenly jumped up from 1900 to 2800. This makes no sense to me after dropping yesterday, but I'm not complaining! I triggered an hour ago and am looking forward to retrieval on Friday!

Bumpsparkle - glad it went ok and starting on Tuesday - eek lol!

Nimbec I can't get over that Nurse, that's awful!!!

As for you other ladies thank you for the well wishes, eyes still swollen BUT I feel tons better today I don't feel so horribly ill now, it's manageable. I am so relieved!

Bumpsparkle, I'm so excited for you to be starting and about the scratch, last time I had a few seconds of pain but hope I dont this time lol, beneath, it will be fine, doesn't last long at all and is like a smear test
It doesn't feel real to me either that I will soon be having transfer after waiting for so long

First, good luck for Friday and thats good about the estrogen

 

[FirstTry]

Comfy: congrats on getting started! I do the shots myself (except trigger) because I actually find it less scary because I know when it's coming. Good luck!

Lizzie: I'm glad you're feeling better. And I hope it keeps going that way!

Bum: I'm glad your scratch wasn't bad. I have seen lots of women on here who had implantation problem and the scratch helped them get their BFP. Good luck to you and BMW!

Bump, when is your transfer?

BMW, 1 more day

First, yay for trigger and that's awesome estrogen level.

AFM, Ganerelix shot is painful! Grrrr...it feels that the needles is not as sharp as others. I wish that I could change needle. The meds itself is fine. Well, hopefully I can trigger soon. E2 level yesterday was 1034 and it doubled in two days. Back to scan and u/s tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

 

[MoBaby]

Yay! So much happening here with triggers, scratches and soon to be retrievals. Can't wait to hear updates!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mobaby, how are you doing?

 

[MoBaby]

I'm good just on bcp waiting for the 20th!

 

[lizzie78]

First - great news about your oestrogen, can't believe it's EC tomorrow! Hope everything goes well, very excited for you.

BMW is your scratch tomorrow? Good luck hon.

ILT I dont understand why they can't make all needles sharp and pointy. You wouldn't have thought it would be that hard! Hopefully tomorrow's scan will mean they can confirm your triggering soon.

Mobaby, it will be here before you know it i'm sure.

Ilt, I had that problem with the anti blood clot injections, they were so blunt, 1 day I didnt think I would do it, tried 3 times to get it in and the 4th time I literally forced it, the nruse wasnt joking when she said they were blunt!

 

[beneathmywing]

First -- Great news on the estrogen rising again!! Retrieval is almost here.. woooo!

Lizzie -- Glad you are feeling better. Yes, my scratch is tomorrow! Thanks, hun!!

Ilovetomatoes -- EEK! I know. I can't believe Friday is finally tomorrow. lol Ganirelix does suck. The needle is pretty dull. Good luck at your scan tomorrow!!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

You'd think the manufacturer would make the needle much sharper!! Grrrrr

Thanks BMW...not too long for you too! Definitely let us know how it goes w/ the scratch

You would think, right?!

Will do. I will be updating on my bus ride home! loll

ILT: that's strange about the needles. Hmm. Your nurse can't give you sharper needles?

BMW: are you transferring tomorrow?

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

First, ganerelix comes in prepackaged. The needle is fused with the container and can't be changed. I do have plenty of sharper needles. Today, I emptied the meds in ganerelix to an empty syringe tube and was able to use the sharper needle. It works much better

BMW: are you transferring tomorrow?

Nope, I wish! Lol im having my biopsy/scratch done.

Bmw: ah, scratch time! Exciting. Means you're almost there...

ILT: smart!

Yep! I had a IVF that resulted in a BFN in September with my old RE who didn't believe in scratches... my new re does so here I am doing it now! lol.
