Good Morning Everyone,

I had a bad day yesterday. Started out with hubby giving me his parting injection "subcutaniously" has anyone ever done that? It's when you don't put the needle in the right angle and a big bubble forms under your skin, then the liquid and BLOOD start pouring out :shock: He left for China an hour after that last shot, good thing for him :lol:

Today I'm going to see if my 15 year old daughter can give me my shot, if not i'll have to go to the hospital because I just can't physically bring myself to do it. I know this might sound silly to some of you but i just can't.

Anyways, I forgot my sniffer by a couple hours yesterday, hope that doesn't wreck anything. Then I fought an almost migraine like headache all day. Was a rough day all round but i'm feeling much better today :D

No more teeth falling out dreams. Thank Gawd! I had this same type of dream years ago. Only that time I had just flown out the window of a car and I was laying in a ditch. I was spitting out teeth and blood and just staring at my teeth on the ground in amazement and shock. Horrible horrible dream. It is very unsettling Tracii :lol:

Coleen, I'm hoping it means something really good. I'm interpreting it to be good since there was no blood :wink: Also, getting pearly white dentures is almost like a fresh start isn't it?

Smita, how are you doing? I don't know how you do those injections yourself, your so brave. You wanna come over and do mine? :D

Sue, how are you feeling? Managing to get any rest? How's the house coming?

Brs888, how's your headaches? I"m not sure about acupuncture either, i've never done it.

Kim, where are you in your treatment? Hope your doing good.

Hope I didn't forget everyone. I'm still trying to remember who's doing what when. Maybe we can start a msg saying what stage we're all at in our sept treatment?

Well girls, i'm off for now. Hope your all doing fantastic. Sorry if I missed anyone.

It's very hard to keep everyone straight...althought I'm starting to get it down as the month rolls on :)

I don't know if any of you have endometriosis, but it is horrible. I am usually a positive person, but when AF comes and a few days before and after, I am a miserable person. Now, being on the Lupron makes me cry instead of just getting sad. I think my husband thought I was losing it when I started balling in the middle of dinner tonight. I guess what I'm trying to say is that on these days I feel hopeless, and "why me'. That's why I'm on here, because I know you guys won't let me feel this way for long :lol: The good news is that now I will get to start stimms soon...probably Thursday depending my base-line appointment.

Where is everyone else at in their cycle?

Hi brs888,

Awwwwwwww *hugs* don't feel bad! I've done the exact same thing as you, on a few occasions. I've been driving through the drivethru of a fast food joint and my dh has asked me what I wanted and i've sat there and started to ball and say "I don't know"! It happens to all of us and your not alone! Hope you get a little bit cheerier knowing your going to start your treatment soon. That's exciting!!! :D I started my short cycle last week. I have a scan on mon, and maybe thursday. Blood on thursday as well and then if all is going well i am set tentatively for aug 31-sept 2 ec. Then egg transfer on sept 5th.

Hi Ladies,

So exciting to hear you are all ready to go, when I was last on the board this was a real sleepy thread :wink:

I am joining in here as we can go in September :shock: :shock: although I am still wondering whether to wait for October... The question is if we go back to Barcelona or we try the new clinic in Kiev which would mean then October..The bugger is that dh has been working mega full time the past 5 weeks, including this week, and we have had no time to really discuss it. I guess like you Randa and a lot of us, I'll just have to make the decision.

Anyway for the sake of not missing out :wink: when we go in September back to Barcelona, then Af would come 17th Sept, which would mean ET on 27-29th September (depending on the PGD)..crikey!! :shock: she says guiltily sipping her Beauj :roll: :roll: soooooooooooo

Hello everyone,

I joined the August buddies but actual EC/ET will not be until september so I thought i'd join you September buddies :D

Started Buserelin injections on 27th July. I had my baseline scan on 17th August thankfully everything was OK. I started on my Menopur injections on 21st August. So far I am not suffering from any major side effects. My tummy is a little tender and is starting to feel a little bruised from the injections.

Is anyone else on Menopur, how are you finding the mixing. I tend to get air stuck in the needle by the time I mix the third amp. Any useful tips!!

Looking forward to my next scan - Just hope everything goes to plan.

Hi everyone,

I posted in introductions a while ago but I have now had my initial consultation and should be cycling in September so I wondered if I could crash the party??

I have to have a scan on 1st Sept to check my dates and if correct I start down regging then. As I have PCOS I will prob. down reg for a bit and go for EC in early Oct. I thought I would join this thread even though I am both months because it is my first attempt and I will need all the help I can get!! :D

I have read these boards for a while now and feel so excited that I am part of it all. You all seem so friendly and generous with the PMA and babydust!

So PMA to all us Sept buddies,

Hope we are ALL successful :D :D

BigJ! So good to see you out and about! And an extra thrill to see that you will be part of this group!!!
