Hi Jules- Thats ok that you don't know what to expect either, having someone to go through it with is just as good. :) It's nice to have someone to talk to that is going through the same process. I see on the other board that you posted on you are already on the lupron. Sorry to hear it is making you sick. :( How long have you been on it? and what dose are you on? I have only had 3 shots of 10 units so far. I take my last bcp tonight and go in for my first scan on sat. I think I start fsh stimulation on the 26th or 27th. Where are you in the cycle? and what kind of protocol are you on. I am on the long protocol. |

Julie- You are exactly one week ahead of me. So far so good on the lupron but it has only been 3 days and I am still on the birth control pills (tonight is the last bcp). Where you on anything before you started the lupron? Can it cause your period to be late? I am expecting to get mine within a few days after I stop the bcp. That usually brings it on, so i am thinking by friday or sat. What day of your period did you start the gonal? I will be taking gonal and repronex with the ovidrel trigger shot. Dh and I weren't given any antibiotics. I have doxycylin for after the ER, and medrol around the transfer. I am ok with all the shots and meds but I am worried about the progesterone shots. I have heard they are difficult to give and dh is not a fan of needles so he wont give them to me. |

Nose spray in place of what? Progesterone? |
||
|
||

Julie- the nasal spray is in place of the lupron. My periods are very regular -like clockwork. My Re put me on the bcp because I didn't want to test for ovulation and he needed to control my cycle and hold off my period. I was due the 15th, but the timing was not good. So I have been on active bcp for 4 weeks now. I had to skip the last week in my first pack (blanks) and start a new one right away to keep me from getting my period. Dh will not even entertain the thought of giving the injection, he gets sick just watching me give myself the lupron. He is really stressed out by the whole process. |

I think I wrote shits instead of shots - my bad! |
||

Julie- I think shits is more fitting. LOL! I have been trying not to think about those too much, but I am concerned. I am going to find out if there is another spot that I might be able to do on my own, otherwise I might have to have my mom do them. Are you doing the lupron and gonal shots yourself? I live in New York . If you don't mind me asking, What brings you to IVF? Do you have a specific cause for you difficulty getting pregnant. If you are not comfortable discussing it I understand. |

Funny you ask - some docs let you do certain shots at night while others make you do them in the morning. In my other chat, someone else can do thier progesterone shots in the morning - I only have the choice to do tehm at night which sucks because you are better off moving around once you have them done. |

Hey guys, |

Mo - thanks for the advice. I admit the stomach shots are a piece of cake. I know you draw blood but did you actually do the IVF as well? What do the butt shots feel like? |
