Angellica, Congrats! Doesn't it feel great to be able to move on to the next step? When do you start stimulation meds?
I really do hope I have lot's of kids. I would still consider triplets a major blessing, no matter what the risks. I'm older now and I don't think it's practical, but I used to say I wanted 10 kids! I'd be super happy with just one now!

Thanks Cheeky, I am really looking forward to this cycle. I'm excited that I'm doing acupuncture this time. I really am hoping it will help me. I'm already feeling pretty good.

Hey everyone, Please let me know if you are starting stimms so I can move you up on the list. :) It shouldn't be long now!

Jeck, I'm praying super hard for you! I can't wait to hear the good news!

10 imagine that, I couldn't cope with reconstructive surgery I'd need after all them :lol: Triplets would be fantastic, I read somewhere that increasing your dairy products intake increases your chances of multiple births... would probaby just increase my stretch marks and the size of my behind! :lol: I hope you get as many as you feasibly can... and if theres only one then think of all that love you'll have for him/her!!

If baseline scan and blood tests go well on Thursday then stims wil start Friday....the 1st time I had IVF I went from a 28" waist to a 32" and looked 3 months pregnant due to having OHSS they told me I had over a hundred follicles but the more I read on this forum I think I must have misheard, I could hardly walk!! they are more careful with me now as they are apparently more concerned with keeping me alive, so sweet of them :D due to egg donating this time I am happy to be pushed to the limits, I know it isn't my time yet so stim all they like I have to give the recipient half so I want 30 at least!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hope you are well...

Angellica xx

Hey thanks cheeky monkey, you are spot on with your reminder. Started the injections this morning, DH is a doctor so he plunged it into the fat roll when I hesitated. I didnt bother icing it but I couldnt feel the needle - totally painless. I just need to pluck up the gumption to do it solo.
Feeling excited to be finally underway.

Jeck - thinking of you tomorrow!

lupron/af/stims

Post by jsm7502 »

Hi,
I am new here, and have a ?.

I have been off bcp's since 10/7, and on Lupron since 10/2. I have an appt. tomorrow, and was originally to start stims, however, I have not yet gotten af. Do I wait for af to start stims or will I go ahead and start?

Thanks

Hey everybody, did not write in 2 days and a lot is going on!!.

jsm7502, I would go to the appointment anyway, that it what they tell you normally, to go even if your af did not come yet, they will advise you what to do next...

Jeck, I wish you a BFP for tomorrow!!!!! :D

I just gave myself the first dose of Lupron, I have to say I was kind of nervous, but everything went ok..........but days are going so slow lately!!!!!!!!! :shock:

Good luck to everybody!!

Angellica.. Hey we have baseline on the same day.... woohoooo ; ) I take my last BCP tonight so sweet little AF should be hre in a few days.. JOY... but that will be the last time I see her for a LOOOOONG time.. lol

Jeck... I am soooo excited for you... I will be thinking of you tomorrow...

JSM... do you have any spotting???? that seems like a long time to be off BCPs with no AF... .. hummmm last IVF I only had slight spotting before I started my stims... I bet it is really more about what your linning looks like... best of luck...

Vicky... good for you... Way to go.. giving yourself that first shot is very stressful.... now i should be easy.. ; )


I had to give myself a Lupron shot at my DD's soccer game on Sat.. I thought I had walked far enough away from everyone.. but just as I stick myself a lady walked by...lol... I felt like a junky.... Rotf.....

Hope everyone is well....

WELCOME jsm! I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow and you'll be able to get started. I suppose whether you get to start or not depends on your protocol. My clinic always tell me my schedule won't change regardless of what day AF starts. Good luck!

Yay wannababy! Good luck with starting. I think our ET dates are going to be close?

angellica, I know what you mean. I went up about 2 sizes after stims last time. Ugh, I still feel so fat. I'm sz 5/6, but have been avg sz 3 most of my adult life. I don't want to lose any weight now though, it's not a good idea when TTC. I'm just trying to eat right so I don't gain anymore.

Well I went to my appt. and found out that I have a cyst, and therefore will be on Lupron for another week before starting stims. Apparently the cyst indicates that I am not sufficiently suppressed, and that is why I will continue with the Lupron.

I really hope things are better when I go back. My appt. is scheduled for next Tues. Unless I get my AF by Thurs., then they said I would come in on Fri.

I guess you just have to go with it...

jsm7502 don't be discouraged, I know we are all anxious, but one week is nothing, don't worry, everything is going to be ok!! :wink:

jeck, good luck, wishing you BFP!!!!! :D

Nicola, I am sorry to hear you are feeling so bad, but as you said, this is all for a good cause!!, just think about the BFP at the end of this journey!! :wink:

Ladies, don't you feel like this are the slowest weeks of your life!!!! :lol:

Good luck to everyone!!!!!!

I'm so sorry to hear it. I know how you feel. I got cyst last cycle and got cancelled because my cyst was producing hormones. Hopefully, your cyst will disappear. Good thing is that your clinic is trying to do something about it. I was told to continue Lupron for only 3 more days before another US. 3 days didn't change anything. Actually my hormones went up more... I don't know why they didn't want me to do more Lupron. They just cancelled my cycle. :(
Now I'm paranoid that I will get a cyst again....
