Post by mumtojazzie »

hey guys,my appointment yesterday was all good.i start Lucrin(10units)and puregon on the 29th jan i stop taking the ocp(pill) a couple of days later,i have to then ring IVF when period starts and have a blood test on the 5th feb then ring them back after for the nxt instructions,I then take more blood test and internal ultrasound.the trigger injection of Pregnyl will be 36 hrs before the egg collection which will be on the 17th feb and 5 days later will be the transfer so we are looking at the 22nd feb and a pg test will be 16 days after that,so the transfer will be two days before our wedding. the nurse had mentioned that i may bloat and swell i am hoping it will all go down by the 24th,or my wedding dress will not fit :( have no idea what to do,if we cancel we have to wait till next cycle in april!! so we have decided to go with feb cycle and hope for the best my tummy will look ok on the day :oops: i have been told i have to drink 2 litres of water while i am on this program, we had to do lots of filling out,going through the money side of things and signing papers and we got to pratice the injection shots...lol we had to make sure there was no air bubble in the needle and we put the right amount of ml etc.etc...then insert it into a pretend tummy like sponge...not looking forward to doing the real thing,and i haven't as yet convinced my dp to doing it! but give me time... :wink: so thats it my update, now i just sit back and try and relax and wait for the 29th jan.
cheers

Hello Debbie...

I liked how u sumed it up!!!
Well as I know you need to rest after the transfer for at least 3 days...wouldn't you be stressed out on the wedding day?? So try and take it as easy as you can!!! not too much dancing and jumping though!
Unfortunetly your tummy might be a little bit bloated but not too much, so I am sure your dress will fit well!

Btw for the injections i used to do it with the needle also! but this time my dr. gave me the Puregon Pen...its so pratical and so easy to do I think you can get it from the clinic...

Well lots of good luck! I am currently doing my 5th IVF...no kids yet! I have the retrieval on Friday (Jan. 12) and they'll transfer back on monday...

If you need anything we are here for you!!
Hugs

Debbie, good luck with your cycle. Hopefully we can keep in touch throughout this. I will take my last pill on Jan 27th and start my 10 units of lupron then. Don't worry about the shots. They are not as bad as you think. I think the ones in the tummy are the easiest! It is just a little pinch- easier then getting blood drawn.

Keep in touch Mikal
