My first cycle w/stims was in amps because that's how they came from europe. I'm not sure where you are getting your meds from, but maybe that is why he is using that lingo. But mine didn't come with filtered needles, yikes!

Angela- a lot of people have spotting due to implantation bleeding, so I recommend to keep taking the progesterone, stay strong, and fight to the very end. Good luck and God Bless.

I just finished my first IVF, they retrieved 5 eggs, injected 4, but only one actually fertilized (started dividing, growing...). So I only had one to transfer, but it only takes one, I'm proof to that. We did a 5dt since we only had one. I'm not sure how they determine if they will do a 3dt or a ...

Mia- if the stomach hurts too much use your thigh. It's easiest to do sitting down, b/c the fat bunches up. Not the top/front of your thigh, but the outside (where most of us get some stretch marks, except for you since your still lean :D )
Also, you can request emla cream from your dr. It's a ...

What size needle are you using? I alternate between the 22.5 gauge 1.5" and 23 gauge 1". Also, try putting a heating pad on the sore area for about 20 min. It does get better, I know that's hard to believe, but eventually it will all just become numb

Hey ladies, for all of you on PIO, I'm not sure if you do this or not, but the nurse recommended that I set the med container in a small amount (don't submerge the top) of very warm water for a few minutes to warm up the oil. I think it helps a million. I am not as sore and it goes in easier. Hope ...

My first cycle (IUI w/ stims) I used IVFMeds in Europe (www.ivfmeds.com/order or 800-341-0464) and there prices were great.
For my IVF cycle, I had to use a US based pharmacy b/c my clinic is a university and they require that. They recommended a pharm out here and they were literally half the cost ...

Actually my dr preferred we didn't transfer more than 2, and kept repeating "you only need one" (even before we knew we only got one fertilized). So he was really optimistic and kept saying we had a 70% chance, which is what I needed to hear to stay positive. I went to Loma Linda University in San ...

Hi ladies- I just wanted to let you know that my test today came back BFP and I am still in shock. I don't feel different, I don't have symptoms, I'm having a hard time believing them but my numbers were 595, so I guess that's a definite :D
It's difficult not to get discouraged, I know. We produced ...

kbat- I am so very sorry for the emotional rollercoaster you are going through. Is this the only clinic that you can use? Perhaps this is all to reaffirm that you need to go someplace else for your last try. I just fear that later on you will always wonder "what if we had tried that last round..." I ...

I'm praying that I will be one of these success stories, I go in for my test tomorrow. I too only produced 5 eggs, they were able to inject 4, and 1 of them fertilized. I did a 5dt of a 10-12 cell embie, but it had not yet become a blast and we didn't do assisted hatching, so of course these past 2 ...

I'm sure it's fine, my doctor never had me stop the aspirin at all. I continued taking it every day, even on ER and ET days. So I wouldn't stress about it. Good luck!

Congratulations Angela! I am so happy for you. I go in for my test tomorrow I'm still not sure I feel any symptoms...Did you?

God Bless you and your upcoming baby!

kbat- I'm sorry for your emotional rollercoaster, but the best things in life are the hardest to obtain. I feel like good news is coming to you so stay positive (like you haven't heard that enough, sorry).
I'm in my first IVF cycle and it's been a bumpy road too. I'm 27 and all I keep hearing is ...
