WeHaveHope- our clinic always using PIO instead of gel or anything else. They said they prefer to do it for a min of the first 2 weeks, then, if your levels are ok, they consider switching to the suppositories, but don't offer it as an option, only if you freak out and can't handle the shots. The only reason I know, is because I really, really freak out about shots, BUT, they prescribed me some numbing cream, and I put that on for 1 1/2 hours before(if you decide to do it and they will prescribe you the cream let me know and I can tell you the best way to use it) and then 15 mins before the shot, I put an ice pack over the spot, and I don't feel the shot at all! For me, that was the part that scared me the most, was the pain of the shot- but I don't experience that at all! And, I've had no side effects from the meds, now my estrogen, that's another story, I feel like a crazy constantly annoyed person! Everything is making me nuts, my patience level is negative 5 right now.
Mandarae- I only had one ovary that wanted to play, and from the one ovary, I only had 6 follies that grew and then they got 5 eggs out of that, and then 3 fertilised and we transferred all 3. I am believing that ours will be the sucess story and that they all stick and that all my betas are great, doubling, etc. But, I can tell you that I don't have much left as far as eggs, but it's definately quality not quanity! You can have a zillion, but if they are all crappy, doesn't do you much good, you just need 1 to get that BFP!
LYD10- That is not true that you HAVE to feel something or feel different. So you know that I've had 2 kids, my first one, geez, I was sick the whole 9 months, but with my second one, the only reason I even tested to see if I was prego, was because I had missed a couple of periods- nothing made me sick, no craving anymore than I normally crave when I'm not pregnant, etc. Everyone's body responds differently to pregnancies and all pregnancies even with the same person can be different. I know it's hard, but close your eyes and just visualize holding your precious baby in your arms, believing that you are pregnant and that he/she is growing more and more everyday and be thankful that you aren't feeling any of the "negative" aspects of pregnancy. I will be thinking and praying for you!
AFM- So my beta is tomorrow and I broke down and bought several hpt last night at the store, and then proceeded to pee on two different ones (2 hours apart). Both came back positive!! I'm causiously excited....who am I kidding, I'm just excited. I can't wait to hear what my beta number is tomorrow! I am praying for big ole honkin numbers that even freak the nurses out
5 is good. Can't wait till tomorrow am when they call with the fert. report. I hope all you girls have a wonderful weekend
