Ladies,

Only have a second for a quick post..question...

So here I am away on a business trip and I have an outrageous rash at both sites on my backside where I was taking the progesterone shots. Mind you, never had a rash when taking the shots, but started after I stopped them. Called the dr. and he said it sounds like cellulitis. Has anyone ever had that or experienced a rash afer stopping shots? I want to rip my skin off! It's itchy with all kinds of raised red bumps, looks like giant hives. UGH!

hugs,
Ange

Oh Ange,

Doesnt sound too plesent

The only thing i can think of is (excuse my spelling) its an anti something or other (lol) not our aunty obvisouly, im sure she wouldnt want to be rubbed on ur bum lol - anti - an-phet-im-in or summit its called - people usually take it for chicken pox to stop the itching, but it can make u drowsey so best to take it at night time - which is prob the worst time when ur in bed, it will help u sleep. Take cool baths, is there any cream at the chemists u can use, over the counter ones should do the trick - and the most obvious - dont scratch, it will make things worse ......
Mind u, im not sure also if u can take anything right now? Are u on anything at the mo? Better check with ur DR.... Sorry cant help no more, but i hope u get better soon - nothing worse than an itchy arse lol

Hello ladies!

Well, be busy a couple of days in a row and look what happens! Boy, have those little fingers been active in the last two days! :) I hope all of you are doing great! I sure am; AF's calmed down and I think I might even get lucky and not have to wear pads tomorrow... who knows? And, oh luxury, maybe only a little pantyliner during the night? Guess who'll be happy about that! ;)

OK *takes deep breath* let's get personal!

Jackie Oh, sweetie... two hard blows in a row... :( I'm so sorry to hear about the news! Those little furry balls of love do take so much place in our hearts and homes, that when they leave... both feel empty, something's definitely missing. I hope with all my heart that people around you are sympathetic to your loss and give you the comfort you need. I send you a big hug!

Fed I was given the opportunity to shoot myself in many places, but I'll also only choose the stomach. The nurse told me that, as long as I change sides each and every day, and that I rotate the injection sites (one inch apart), everything's fine. On the picture I was shown, I have two dotted full squares on each side of my belly button, three rows vertical and horizontal of thee injection spots... make everything an inch apart and there you go. That makes 18 injection spots; plenty to rotate.

bigwhitehapydog Oh, wow! Your clinic is SO STRICT! What right do they have to refuse treatment to people unless they lose x pounds? Did they at least give you a good medical reason for that? If not, I even wonder if it's legal! Sheesh! Hang in there!

bec hello sweetie! :D You preggie sweetie! (I love your ticker too!) Thanks for elaborating on your dreams; hehehe they're funny indeed! And thanks for your nice wishes; I hope the days go fast, too! So far, so good, though the ET seems far away... :)

Bec and SS You and your baby bellies! ;) I'll be lucky if I show in my third trimester, almost! I'm 6' tall and I was told I would not look pregnant before quite many months. An acquaintance who's as tall as me told me she only got her preggie belly at EIGHT months! She said she was still not over her belly when she started labor and she was disappointed, lol!

Aunty Hey, look at that! What a nice surprise! Always better to be surprised that way than with delays, huh? I'm really happy for you! :D And gee, you get the double of my Lupron dose! I hope you don't have too many side effects.

Silva Congratulations on injecting yourself! Two thumbs up for you! Believe me, I know what it's like the first time you do; my hands were shaking! ;) But you really get into it with practice.

shantala about the spermogram, you wrote "DH tried it on but didn't get very far... no way!" Erm... not sure what you meant here! ;) Other than that, how are you doing? Hey, only one week to wait until the open day! :)

meg Like Aunty, I'm hoping for a miracle and if not, well... jigging with you like crazy! And I know it sucks to wait after something so trivial! It will come!

Ange hello my friend! SO nice of you to check on me! Thanks, the shots are doing just fine! Officially started the second row on my tummy ;) 7 down, 9 more to go... until the shots are doubled, mind you, lol! did not realize my review was so enthusiastic! :oops: And yes, the thread will be pretty crazy in a couple of weeks don't you think? Boy, we'll have to post every two hours to keep up with personals! lol!

Sassy congrats on starting to grow a nice little pillow for your embies to snunggle in! :) Go girl!

jemima I'm reading the Perfume book right now. Started it before the movie, but did not finish it before. I've heard that the movie was very close to the book. Not sure if it's a good idea to read the book before or after the movie; I guess you do what feels right. Both are very original oeuvres d'art!

AMD Hey, Lupron is officially out! Good for you! How did your appointment go today?

TansRN guess that sore booty won't do any AF jig... or endulge in any recreational spanking either as it is... ;) Sorry to hear that; my acquaintance told me she had a pretty bumpy bump with all the injections because her skin just did not absorb the meds well... poor thing. Can you find comfy positions a little bit at least?

Ok, gotta gulp my dinner and meet clients! Fast! :) Take care ladies, and have a great evening!

All right ladies, I told my DH your "suggestion" about sex as a nice prompt for AF, so he proudly "took one for the team" as he called it.

And....still no stinking dice!

I've decided I'm giving it a few more days before I get too excited--the longest I've ever gone is 42 days between and I'm at 36 so still not in the clear. And I just can't make myself take an HPT---I mean really, we've been having unprotected sex for 5 years without result, so I'm not getting my hopes too high. But you never know...right? :wink: Ha! Have a great evening, everyone!

Hey meg!

:D sorry the oldest trick in the world didn't work! Eh, at least you had fun (hope so... that was actually the point in a way! :lol: ), and got your DH to participate!

It's agonizing to wait, knowing that the chances of a natural pregnancy are so slim but having that tiny little part of you that still hopes that maaaaaybe... while still having to wait, counting the days... I sincerely hope you won't get to 42 days hun. I had to wait 37; that might be the magic number for you!

Take care!

HI Ladies,

Just got AF again. So that means I need to call my RE tomorrow and go in for blood and ultrasound on Thursday morning then I will find out the next steps from them later in the day. Also on Thursday my DH and I have to take the antibotic that was given to us. So I will let you guys know what the deal is once I know.

Also, I had a question for fellow lupron users. Is anyone or did anyone get bloated while taken it? My stomach feels bigger than usual but I though the stimming drugs would make you bloated. It could be just me getting fatter but I am hoping to blame it on the meds! (Aunty you always told me to blame the meds!) So any info would be great.

Sorry for no personals but I am missing Law and Order CI!

Talk to you all tomorrow.

Love and baby dust,
Erin

Hi Meg- we also took the advice last night too :wink: - but nuffing, nada, zlich for me either - it's only day 31 for me and I'm always irregular if at all - but it was just that whole ovulation episode 2 weeks ago - which I NEVER get normally.

Anyway it's annoying as I will probably have to take the drugs to bring it one -will just wait a couple more days.

Jiggy jig jiggy jig jiggy jig for you too!

Fed7281, I am so bloated right now. I am also getting bad headaches and I can't seem to stay out of the bathroom... I pee every 30 mins to an hour. Everyone also notices how tired I look and I have to agree and say that I am.

So no worries, you are normal and it could be a ton worse.

I am probably not going to hit everyone... but here goes...

my: ER tomorrow. Fantastic!!! Wishing you a comfortable and successful ER!

Jemima: gl on the wt loss. Sounds like you have quite the routine going...sounds like you are on the right track!

AMD: Didn't you have an us today? i think the post was so far back i'm not sure now. Anyway, if you did, hoping the news was good.

ssalgado: your story made laugh... thanks for the giggle!!! :lol:

raintree: congrats on having your ER over with... and on 6 good eggs. Looking forward to your ferts.

jodic: sorry you are feeling so crappy!!! Is it the meds, or do you have the stomach flu? Did i miss something?

Vickie: oooo excited to hear about your follicles tomorrow.. gl on us!

Ange: are you sure that your bumps and itching isn't an allergic reaction to the oil????? That often occurs a wk or two after you stop PIO (at least i have heard other women mention it). did RE mention that at all??? Esp if it is on both sides. Either way, hoping it feels better soon!

Angie65 and Meg: Hmmmm. Evil beotch AF! she either needs to show the H@ll up, or stay away for the next nine months :wink: .

All those stimming.... and there are a bunch of you... wishing for all of you that the bloating isn't bad, the ovarian pain is tolerable, and that the follicles are growin' like crazy!!!

ciao!

Evening Lady's
well i have to say im not doing well on these meds at all (not a complaint id take it ten fold for my bundle) im shattered just drained and headaches so bad thankfully its only for 10 days (8 to go) we can do this i know lots of us are going through the down reg torment...not long lady's

Fed your right its a rule repeat after me "the meds made me do it officer" you can try drinking V8 and gatoraid to help with some of ther bloating and how much water are you drinking?...(oh and if its got tea or coffee in you cant count it...so im told...LOL)now you cant drink V8 or gatorraid once you start stimming so we have to cope with the bloat untill after EC but it might help for now...you must be drinking at least 1L of water a day we will be fine its not for long remember..hugs

Sophie yeah it was nice to be started just shocked at the speed like you say its normaly delays...i dont mind Lupron too much not loving these pills im on but its all good...how are you feeling?

love to all....Aunty
