My DH is the bomb ladies!!! He gave me my 1st PIO shot tonight and I didn't feel a thing!!!! :D He did soooo good. I'm really proud of him. i made him practice on an orange first! Then he said he was worried about hitting an organ :lol:

I have figured out however that it's not the shot that hurts - it's afterwards! :shock: My RE told me to use heat. Put the PIO in hot water for a few mins and then after the shot use a hot moist towel for 20 mins. I didn't do the towel but now I'm thinkin I should've :? I feel like such an idiot for my behavior over these shots :oops: I can see how you would get really sore after having these day after day.

kcraven & shelleyj5 - good #'s on your ER!!! After mine I felt fine. I was suprised at how awake I was. My belly was a little tender but not to bad. I am still bloated but I guess that's to be expected. Good luck on your embies!!

Well, I thought my sonohyst would be uneventful, but I was wrong. He saw what he thinks is a uterine polyp. He said he will confirm it at the hysterocopy tomorrow. Does anyone know anything about these or what else he could have possibly seen? He said if it is a polyp, he will probably have to surgically remove it...I hope this won;t delay my cycle, I am scheduled to start stimming in just over 2 weeks.

shelley: I'm glad to hear your ER went well this morning!! I too can not wait for that phone call tomorrow morning. I did have to take the progestrone shot today. I really thought it would be bad. It stung a little more than the stims shots did but not bad at all. I'm worried we did something wrong. I am not in pain afternoon the shot either. I don't even feel anything where the shot was given. My stomache is still cramping. I hope it gets better by tomorrow because I'm going to be sooo busy at work! Well let us know as soon as hear something tomorrow and I will do the same. Wishing you the best!!!!

tburks: Glad your dh is being such a good helper. Mine feels bad that he could not be here to help me but with the economy the way it is I hated for him to miss this important meeting.

Brown01: Glad to hear from you. Good luck with your trigger. You are well on your way!!! So do you have ER on Friday then??

aspotoftea: I was a nervous wreck when they taught me how to administer the shots. But once it came time to actually doing it, it wasn't so bad, besides the fact that I found out I was too scared to give the shots to myself, but I eventually got over that. I did all my shots in my stomache. It wasn't painful at all. After about a week though, I felt so full and swollen that I would start feeling bad afterwards, but you will do fine!

kcraven - I was so excited about being able to trigger that I forgot to include the information on my ER. :? Yes, I go in on Friday at 7am with retrieval at 8am! My RE does 5 day transfers, so our ET would take place next Wednesday!!

aspotoftea: I found that the shots hurt less closer to my belly button region (if that makes sense). When I moved away from the area the shots hurt more. After the first couple of shots you get semi-use to them...you will become a pro in no time! Also, I switched from the right to left side every other night. That way I wasn't shooting myself on the same side repeatedly.

CT_Michelle: The growth could either be a polyp or a fibroid. Your RE should be able to remove it during your hysteroscopy tomorrow. The recovery time is very short, back to regular activity the next day. Should not delay your cycle. Some REs beleive that any uterine growth, polyp or fibroid, can interfere with implantation. Others think this is nonsense because women who don't KNOW they have these growths, get pregnant and have uneventful pregnancies all the time. Just think of your hysteroscopy and polypectomy as " re-paving" your uterine lining nice and smooth. Hopefully, it will increase your chances that your IVF will be successful!

Good luck everyone else!! Just can't keep up with everyone's progress, but I'm thinking and reading your posts every day. Lots of PMA and sticky baby dust.

I am on my third day of Lupron today. So far, so good-- no bad side effects. Am I too early to be expecting side effects?

nursegator- thanks for the info, I do hope they are able to take care of it tomorrow. You are the 2nd person to say that, but that is not the impression RE gave me today. He said he would remove it at the hospital. So I am still a bit worried, but will find out tomorrow.

CT_Michele- I had a polyp a couple of years back, and it does have to be surgically removed. That is the only bad part of it, and you will be fine the next day. This shouldn't delay your IVF at all. Best of luck to you.

Hello Ladies… Well, it’s Wednesday night and I am so tired. I woke up this morning with a killer headache, allergy, stuffy nose and sore body. Noooo, dejavu from my last cycle. I had an allergy cold that never went away until after my BFN. I was hoping not to get sick this time, cuz with the meds, our immune system shuts down therefore I am not looking forward to this long lasting allergycold. Oh well, I hope this wasn’t the reason for my last BFN, and I hope this won’t cuz me to get a BFN again. Well, I stayed home from work today to rest but still have a headache and now I am wondering if the headache is because of the Lupron shots. Oh well. Well, I see we have a lot of activity on the forum. It feels so great, and a lot of you ladies are making progress. Tomorrow is my last BCP so after I just wait for my AF to arrive so I can start stims…. Yipee!!!!. I hope I can keep up with everyone.

Barbd… Congrats on your FET… 4 embies, that is amazing. I really hope you get your BFP!! Just imagine If all 4 stick? Lucky girl. As for the HPT… at least we know the trigger is out of your system, but at least wait 10days or more to try an HPT again, or better yet, just wait for your official Beta, no need to stress yourself out hun. Good Luck.

Molly… 8 cell is a great number. As for implantation, they told me it takes about 3-5 days to implant. Good Luck.

Sue.. Congrats on starting stims. I agree, doing the Lupron shots is a breeze. Its just the way I am feeling that I am not liking. I don’t recall feeling like this last time.

Rosario… Good Luck with ER tomorrow. Hope you get a lot of good embies.

RosiePosie… Never too late to join. Well, at least u are ahead of a lot of us… u r in the crazy 2WW. Good luck with your test on the 11th. Hope u get your BFP.

Valdez… Welcome to the board. U have come to the right place. Good Luck Friday with your scan. Happy Stimming.

Espinoza… I am glad that you are doing good. And that your Ins covered everything. I don’t know about FET cuz I haven’t been through that route, but hopefully someone else can guide u. Good Luck with your FET in March. I really hope you get your BFP with this cycle, I really do.

Jenn… Congrats on the Embies. I am glad everything went well. Right now u will feel a lot of pains and twinges cuz your ovaries are trying to go back to normal. Good Luck hun.

Tburks… good luck tomorrow at ET. Hope everything goes well. I will keep my fingers crossed. And tell DH he is wonderful. My DH was shaking so I got scared and did them myself. I was scared he was going to break the needle in my butt. Ouch!! :shock:

Brown… I was wondering where u went. Well, congrats on triggering. Good Luck on Friday at ER. Hope u get a lot of good embies.

Kcraven… 18 Eggs!!! Glad ER went super well. Now u rest. I hope you get a lot of fertiliozed ones. Good Luck.

Shelly… 15 eggs… Super Er also. God I hope I get so many eggs this cycle as well. Pour some Eggie Dust on me as well. Good Luck!!

Aspotoftea… Congrats on starting Lupron Friday. Good thing u went to the trng. Wasn’t it fun and exciting and scary??? Good Luck.

Ct_Michelle…. Sorry about the poly thingy, why don’t u pm To-HaveFun… she had one just removed last week and it went well and didn’t effect her cycle. Good Luck with it.

Well ladies… I hope I am caught up with personals… if I missed anyone I am so sorry. I am going to go lay down cuz my head is pounding and my nose is stuffy.
Good Luck everyone and Baby Dust to all.
