Ladies doing IVF or IUI - 2015 (9 BFPs!)

[CDAbaby]

I had all my injections in the morning, they were done at 6.30am every day by my lovely hubby
I was very emotional the whole way through, and even now I'm still not right. This forum definitely helps you through the tough times xxx

 

[MariaIsabella]

Stupid question perhaps but will ask

When doing the injection this morning I filled it up with buserelin to 0,5 ml according to directions.. but when I press it in a very small amount stays in the end and impossible to press in.. should I fill it up a little more than 0,5ml to cover for this or perhaps this is how its suppose to be? Sorry if it doesn't make sense.

Did you get all the air out? I can't remember having any left when we did it but I was probably busy eating a chocolate button! Maybe ask the nurse?

 

[MariaIsabella]

Yes, got all the air out.. it just seems a very tiny amount gets stuck at the top where the syringe gets thinner ( needle part ).

will ask x

 

[Blueflower]

Had my scan today and we're off! Last pill tonight, start nasal spray again tomorrow, scan next week then hopefully Menopur injections next Thursday!

Can anyone remember how many 2015 IVF BFPs we've had? Previous IVF threads have had the number of BFPs on the title and I thought I might add them. I was getting despondent and thinking I was giving everyone bad luck but we do have a few now! (I will retire from hosting this thread at the end of this year whatever happens and someone else can bring some luck!) Anyway so we have Kkheartsbaby with her FET BFP, Poispinner with your amazing 1st time BFP! Can we count Keepitcrossed with her natural BFP after IVF?! Any more I've forgotten?!

 

[MariaIsabella]

Thats great you can start now!! So you start stims next Thursday?? I start next Friday if all ok on my scan 😊.

Sorry, joined a bit later so not sure about BFPs but lets hope we can add a lot more!!

 

[KeepItCrossed]

I don't mind if you count me in our out. But if it helps people stay positive, go for it!

 

[Blueflower]

Yeah it boosts the numbers! Thanks! You were an ivf lady but then managed it on your own!

 

[kkheartsbaby]

Thanks blueflower! Go for 12 wk scan tomorrow so here's hoping I bring some positivity to you ladies. Before me there was couple bfps from nicky25 and also babybumpwanted that may have been mc good luck to you all xx

 

[KeepItCrossed]

Good luck everyone. x

Hey lovely ladies ... I think it's finally my turn to join this thread.
I've been quietly stalking for a while.

AF due today (defo on its way) then I'm starting the pill all ready for this coming cycle of my first IVF.

I'm finding it really hard to digest the process of IVF and what it all means (feeling really thick with all the terminology)
xx

 

[Blueflower]

Great to have you with us Mel! Hope your journey is a nice quick one!

 

[Loubalouba]

Welcome aboard Mel and the best of luck to you xxx

 

[MariaIsabella]

Good Luck Mel!!

I am on my 3rd day of Buserelin and feeling extremely emotional. Yesterday I started a fight with DH and was crying for no reason, is this normal??

I just want to be relaxed now and making all the effort with reflexology etc. but then I can't control my emotions!

 

[Blueflower]

When I start the down regulation I feel as if I am sinking underground. Have you warned your DH how you might feel? I told mine that I might be feeling emotional and it would be great if be could be extra understanding. He has moods so I told him that if he is feeling down I might misinterpret it and could he try and tell me to reassure me, and amazingly he didn't indulge in moods after that! I think it had been something he had been allowed to get away with as the youngest child in his family and never grown out of! If you warn your DH it would be pretty mean if he didn't take it on board considering what you are going through. Its something they can do to help too instead of feeling on the outside too.

 

[MariaIsabella]

Thanks. Both DH and I are temperamental and have our moods so its a challenge . He is so lovely and supportive but sometimes he forgets that I am the one that has to go though all this and he acts like a little kid wanting attention

Have spoken to him. Basically, even if I am out of order he has to control his reactions to my mood swings during this hard time. I am not saying he can't tell me off but more in a calm way.

I am feeling good one moment but then something triggers my emotions and I start crying..

 

[Blueflower]

That's fair enough. You won't be reacting to things as you normally would due to all the drugs! He needs to develop strategies to cope. Some blokes think ivf and pregnancy are just as excuse for us to be mean but that's not the case!

 

[CDAbaby]

Welcome aboard Mel!! Yay Blueflower finally you can start!!
Mariaisabella I was so moody, my DH thought I was asking for a free pass to be a bitch when I asked him to let me rant, cry or scream during my cycle lol with Buserilin I always had a bit that got stuck there with an air bubble underneath! Once I changed the needle it was fine. 2 weeks tomorrow until my nurse consult to plan FET!! Can't wait!! Xx

 

[MariaIsabella]

2 weeks is nothing!! Time will fly by

Asked nurse about the injection and she said as long as I draw up 0.5 and inject the whole lot then I have had the correct dose. They allow for any that is left in needle or syringe. I hope I do this correctly..

 

[MariaIsabella]

I am thinking of going all in on treatments before and during IVF ( have benefits at work which allows me to have free stuff ). I am already doing reflexology but thinking of also trying Acupuncture as well .I know you have tried it Blueflower but anyone else have any good things to say about Acupuncture?

thanks!!
