Hello All,

Very sad to report that I had my u/s yesterday and could not find my baby's heartbeat :cry: ...I was supposed to be 10w3d and baby only measured 8w6d. My RE suggested doing a D & C. Needless to say, I am DEVASTATED. I found the Misdiagnosed Miscarriage website and that coupled with the ...

I am 10 weeks today and due to stop my progesterone shots in 2 weeks and I cant wait. My butt is sooo sore and bruised from the past 2 1/2 months of shots. Matter of fact when I go see my RE (for the last time) on Monday, I may ask him if I can change over to suppositories for the remainder till Im ...

I did my own stim shots but I cant do the progesterone shots. Just the angle to try and poke your own butt and the fact that the needle is so much longer, I dont think I could bring myself to do it! All the husbands learn how to give it and although they may be nerovus at first, they usually realize ...

Hello ladies!

I had my ER on 9/19 and my ET on 9/22. I had 1 follicle, 1 egg. That egg fertilized and right now I am 10 weeks pregnant and already saw my baby's heartbeat 3x on U/S. This was my first IVF cycle. Best wishes to all of you!!!! Never lose hope! :D

I draw up the progesterone with a 18 gage needle but inject it with a 23 gage needle that is 1 1/2 inches long.....but beleive me, it doesnt hurt as much as you think it will! I was terrified of the shots at first to the point where I was crying before my husband ever ...

I may call and ask my RE if I can go on suppositories because the shots have become more painful being that I've been on them for 2+ months. My butt hurts so much now, there is no place to give the shot that doesnt hurt and sometimes blood just spurts out after the shot. I am 9w4d right now and due ...

Lady J- I gave myself my own stim shots but my husband gives me the progesterone. With the location and angle (and that long needle!) I just cant give it to myself although Im sure there are women on here that give their own. Just have your husband do it, have him stretch out the skin with his hand ...

On Tuesday I had lower abdominal cramping with pressure and some back pain. It was pretty severs so I called my RE. They were closed already so I decided to go to the ER. Then I had the idea to go to my friends OB office and see if they could see me. After hearing my story the OB agreed to see me ...

Lady J- good luck with your cycle, hope everything goes well for you. I too was afraid of the shots and quickly found out there was nothing to fear. The stim shots were painless and the progesterone shots (even with that long needle and the location of the injection) is not even close to as bad as I ...
