Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 I am reading into every little twinge. But how can you not. I am sure its to early to have any real pg signs. Implantation would have been Friday or Saturday. Then they said it takes a couple of days for the HCG to start its thing. I wish I had implantation spotting. But I guess a lot of women don't always get it. Thanks for the +++++++thoughts. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 Pam, I've been sending you e-mails to your address, but they keep coming back. I'm sorry. I've checked and I think I'm sending them right, so sorry. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I've been thinking about you every step of the way this last week. I know the waiting will be even harder, but I'm glad everything has gone well so far. And what' s all the talk about twins around here - I'm waiting for you to announce triplets! LOL!

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2001 Report Share Posted January 30, 2001 Pam, Unfortunately they have to list every possible side effect because the drug companies can be sued if they leave any out (atleast that's the way I heard the story). I haven't had hot flashes, but have felt like I was having O pain - the strange thing is switches sides every day!!! Does that sound wierd? maria > > > I started breaking out after I took stims.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Share Posted February 1, 2001 Dana The HCG shot is given right when the egg is almost mature. It matures the egg and you O 36 hours later. It is a butt shot. Its not that bad. I had to do mine at 10:00 at night then go in at 9:30 am the next two mornings for IUI. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 Pam, But how do you know WHEN to give it? Is that done by u/s? We already do one u/s at cd12 to make sure there are follies on the left side to know if we should even proceed. Remember I have shipping concerns. Then would I have another one, say around cd13-14 to see how big they are? Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2001 Report Share Posted February 4, 2001 Keri 2ww is two week wait. It represents the two weeks after O when you are waiting to see if you are pg. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 Hi Pam, I'm actually taking Follistim (not sure if it's the same as Gonal f). The box comes with a little vial of something that is mixed with the powder. It has to be mixed 3 times: each new mixture added to the next amp. I'm just soooo relieved the big needle is only for mixing purposes - that thing was really scary looking. How long were you on Gonal F for? I'm just trying to get a rough idea when retrieval will be. maria Re: > maria > > Thats awesome that you are starting stims. I was also on 3 amps of > Gonal f and dropped to 5 units of Lupron.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 I don't know for sure but I would think w/an ep AF might be trying to kick in. My progesterone was higher than my ep to. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 Hi Pam, You're making complete sense, that's actually exactly how the nurse explained it.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2001 Report Share Posted February 6, 2001 Hi Pam, I'm so sorry the 2ww is so tough. I'm amazed at your willpower to not hpt. I don't know if I could be as patient. Did I read correctly, you go for a HcG on Thursday? If that's correct, that's wonderful! So you only have 2 more days to go!!!!!!!!! Keep as busy as possible. I do my injections as soon as I wake up (this way I'm too tired to realize I'm giving myself a needle). The mixing part wasn't too bad, a little squirted out when I was transferring from vial to vial. Did you wait for the powder to dissolve before transferring it? I kind of shook it up, then it was all foamy. I was able to get all of it from the first 2 vials, there was a little foam left in the third vial that I couldn't get in the needle. I was sooooooo happy that that big ugly mixing needle didn't have to go into my body, I definitely wouldn't be able to handle that! maria > > > I thought the stims only stung while go in and for a few seconds > after. The 2ww is the hardest part. > > My dr put me on progesterone suppositories w/my ep. My progesterone > was only 7. It probably would have resolved itself if I didn't take > the progesterone. But then maybe I would not have known it was an ep. > > Good luck this morning w/your injection. > > Pam > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2001 Report Share Posted February 6, 2001 just wanted to put my 2 cents in about progesterone and ep... this time with my pg when my prog. was dropping, I asked about going on prog. supplements and my dr. said he doesn't like to give them until he knows the baby is where it should be , because it actually prolongs it if it is an ep.. and that would make sense, especially if AF is trying to come, it would stop it..... lisa r T.T.F.N.
