Sorry to be all freaked out ladies but this is my first cycle and my first BFP so now I'm over analizing everything. :roll: Thanks as always for your support and well wishes
It's going to be ok Hope it's going to be ok... hugs.

Teresa - Please don't ever apologize for anything ... we are here to support each other and if that means asking question after question then that what we will do, ok? I am just praying for you! I am so very glad that you got in contact w/ your RE's nurse at least that could ease your mind because you have to try and relax. Put your feet up and relax or if it makes you feel better you can put your feet up and chat w/ us! Here is a big hug from me!

Angela and Helene thank you for being there for me. I don't know what I would do if I had never found this forum. Its such a crazy ride from start to finish. Always something to wonder or worry about. I do feel better so I am just going to try to relax and focus on something else. Maybe I'll just blink and Friday afternoon will be here. Love you ladies!

Hi Everyone - hope everyone's doing well - I love to see all the positive comments people leave!!

Teresa : ((hugs)) I hope everything goes well for you - I've been praying every day for you & I hope everything works out. Lupron is still going - no more bruising since my one incident! ;) You'd think after so many shots I'd learn. I can't believe I can do it faster than my husband now - the other day I said "Come on dude, let's get it done!" :) I think I took him off guard. Gotta love him for all his support

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Hello everyone! Hope all is well

I am working long hours these couple of days but I did start my shots last night and I have a few questions if anyone can help out??

Menopur came with a 30G needle and seems very difficult to push it thru and it burns bad...any advice? It seems like a lot thru a very small needle.

And just wondering remember that cyst I had....Can that cause problems for my stimulation? Just curious I forgot to ask the office. Wondering if it can cancel me if it starts growing again with the shots...

I APPRECIATE any feedback!!

Lauren- I have always done menopure with a 27 guage needle. To get rid of the burn mix it and then let it sit for a few minutes. If you r mixing several vials I would let it sir for about 5 min. ThAt should help
a bit.

Lauren - I noticed that they are sending smaller and smaller needles for SQ injection than they used to in the past few years. The 30 gauge needles that you received are supposed to minimize pain and bruising because it isn’t as big, but the big drawback is that the medication goes in slower. Some patients can’t use those needles and they need to switch back to the typical SQ needle size of 25 to 27 gauges. If you need to, you can switch to those sizes but if you stay w/ the 30 gauge needle, then ice before you inject the medication and slowly inject the medication because the faster you inject the more it will burn. But, no matter what, my sites did burn anyway.

As far as the cyst, that question would probably be best answered by your RE as I think it depends if it is functional or not (if it will be affected by the stimming meds.).

Ladies: wow I have so much catching up to do! I had a busy day at work & there are so many pages to read! But I love reading everyone's updates as they keep my spirits up. You ladies are awesome :)

Franny: Woohoo for your perfect little embie! You and your DH crack me up! Get some rest and enjoy being PUPO! I will keep you in my prayers!

Angela: I called my RE regarding my pain & he said it's due to my endo. The shots triggers my endo therefore causing the pain. I have my 2nd U/S tomorrow & they are also drawing blood - so he said they will check to make sure I did not OHSS. Thank you for the advice :D

Bei: I have 2nd u/s & blood drawn 0n 04/08,

I know I missed a lot of personals, but to everyone being PUPO a big WOOOHOO!! Even though I have never met you guys I feel like I've known you for a while! I will be praying for all you ladies! Hugs & Kisses!

hopeforbabies and Angela - we are all here for each other. Sometimes it's me that's online and can help out other times it's someone else that is there just when we need them. We are all helping each other as soon as we can... this forum is surely the best I have seen also. So positive and non judgemental people... I love it and I am thankful for being part of it... thanks everyone.

mcfarland - you are just too funny... you made me laugh :) it's good to laugh sometimes hey!!

Lauren - you have to use ice BEFORE you do the shot dear. Are you doing that? About your cyst not sure but I am sure they are monitoring it... so try and not worry so it doesn't grow bigger :)

Franca - 3 survive wow so you will still have one frosty then... way to go. I can't wait for your report today. Keep us posted girl...

emmax - cramps are normal I am sure I would not worry dear. Are you relaxing YET?? Your period is NOT going to come girl.. you are pg... so don't you worry and start relaxing girl :)

latrell - oh dear sorry for the pain... it's going to work don't you worry... everything is going to be ok dear.

Have a good day ladies.
