Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[MoBaby]

My clinic says not to ice the spot because it interfers with the absorption of the meds. They really should give you the numbing cream before shots because some of these hurt. My menopur hurts like crazy. The gona f and microdose lupron are easy and dont hurt but the gonal f site always bleeds. What we go through for these babies!!

I think ill give them an email, they only told us how to do the injection in my thigh. I guess ill just keep battling on and wait for their response.

Hmm I know my trigger is already in the fridge, I only got a 5000. What's the reasons that we get different levels of triggers? Iv never thought to ask as I'm sure my last trigger was 10,000

 

[lizzie78]

19 no idea on the trigger actually I have never thought to ask,. I guess its just like our dose of the other meds vary depending on how they think we will respond?
For those of you that asked I think i should be done with injections and tablets etc well until i start the post transfer ones (sigh lol!) in around 9-16 days hopefully. It's all a bit hazy tbh depending on how well i respond. Having not done a FET before i'm not sure what to expect.

19, yea...ask your RE. Not sure about the trigger amount .

Lizzie, woww...that's a lot of injections. But I am sure there is always a reason why they put you on certain protocol .

Part of me hopes they find something and can treat it quickly for you so that there is a reason iykwim, i'm not wishing illness on you honestly i just think that putting everything down to "chance" is more difficult than having a reason that we understand sometimes.

Lizzie, lol, you've read my mind! I don't want to be sick again but I wish they would do that and find a simple reason that can be fixed quick before we go for another round

Thanks girls!

First- that excellent news! Congratulations!

19 - my trigger was 10,000iu Pregnyl. That one stung!! Not sure why the difference, but I've been on quite high doses all the way through.

Libby - good luck for tomorrow! Hope all goes well for you.

Hi everyone! Grrrrrr I just typed a really long post responding to everyone and my battery died and I lost it! So apologise if this is a bit brief or if I miss anyone, I need to try and log on more often!

So there's been loads of great news on this thread!! I agree lets hope it's a lucky one!! Ilt it sounds like your betas are strong, congrats! Not long until your scan now if its at 6 weeks! Did you put two eggs in?

First that's great news that you have 2, are you putting both in or freezing one? I hope your dream was a good omen!! I've got a good feeling for you!

Jaybo and Libby good luck tomorrow! Let us know what the ec is like for those of us who don't know! I was dreading it as the conscious sedation sounds horrible but it's good to know Lizzie that you liked it!

19 ouch that sounds painful. I'm not looking forward to the injections! I had to inject for a week after my c section and it wasn't nice.

Aurora yay that af came and your plan worked haha! Hope you can get started asap!

Afm - had blood tests today at the clinic (just redoing bloods we've done before as they need up to date screens for HIV, hepatitis etc). Monday we have our nurse consult to learn how to inject and find out more about the drugs etc. I'm looking forward to that one as I'm excited about getting started!!

Going to go back now and see if what bits I've missed but going to post before I loose this one as well!!

Mrs W Sometimes the injections are perfectly fine like my first icsi other times like this time their not nice think its depending on which ur prescribed.

And well girls iv some answers about trigger doses according to my clinic iv a 5000 because I'm labeled as a high responder the same as my menopur or however spell it injections are only 2powders instead of 3. They have me on less due to a higher risk of over stimulation. It can also mean however less eggs at collection but quality should also be better. So guess time will tell.

Other advice I received was to just monitor the next two injections on each side and see if the same happens to my right as it did to my left and then the following injection on my left tmoz see if it has a burn and lump for as long if it does and my right doesn't react then only carry out buserelin in my right although it cam be common for the reaction to keep me most comfortable that's they advice. She also said to not ice beforehand as it can stop the meds dispensing as well.

 

[beneathmywing]

I always iced before my injections, I guess maybe I shouldn't do that this cycle??

 

[FirstTry]

Thank you, everyone! The news is still sinking in.

Transfer will be in early March, I think. We need to figure out whether to transfer one or both s. My gut is that twins would be too much for me to handle with a toddler also.

BMW, iv heard of others doing it and still been fine so I don't know but I suppose maybe it could be each clinic to their own x

True!! I am going to ask my nurse before I start up again. Curious on what she says.
