TTC check in 7/11

[JustJudy]

What's up this week all?

[JustJudy]

Stims start tonight! I have injection training at 2:30 and then I'm 225 each Follistim and menupor and a tiny bit of lupron. I'm preparing myself to feel crappy but excited at the same time. Eek!

[dannigirl]

Oh!!!! That's exciting!
I'm going to be on 225 GolanF also, but only 75 for Menopur. at least at this minute I am. Wednesday I go in for my baseline and we will see if that chances.

I'm super nervous about the stems making me feel really gross too. I was told by my clinic that a lot of women say that Clomid made them feel worse than the injections, but I don't believe that. lol

I'm off my birth control now, so we will see if I start my period again. #JustJudy, did you start again?? It's so weird taking birth control! lol

[JustJudy]

dannigirl, I got cramps yesterday but I haven't started again. I stopped taking them on 7/7. I was expecting too. Oh well. My mom thinks it is hilarious that I was on BCPs.

[wittyandwaiting]

Sorry for lurking but I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you all and sending you all sorts of positive vibes.

dannigirl- I felt worse on Clomid (bitchy, tired but unable to sleep, restless and starving) but looked worse on injections (bloated, puffy faced and acne). Sorry.

Thanks lady!

Night one is done and it was easy. Now we just have to wait until Friday for our first monitoring apt!

How are you doing Dani?

[dannigirl]

I have had zero side effects from any meds I've done. Clomid, Letrozole... Those are the two main ones. Well.. I was likely moody, but that was the only thing.
Which is why I am so scared that these injections are going to turn into a sick, moody @ss b*tch.. lol

Things are good here, I've been off the BCP since Sunday, I started spotting this morning, but it seems to have gone away. We will see what the next two days bring since I normally spot before it hits.

JustJudy, so happy things went well with your first night. I plan on injecting as last as possible before bed so hopefully I will sleep through any side effects.

[dannigirl]

I go for my baseline tomorrow. That's when I will pick up my mounds of meds... Ugh! It's going to cost so much $$$.. Makes me want to cry.
But this is going to work!! I must be positive!

Seriously, it's ridiculous. I told my dad how much this is costing us and I think he almost had a heart attack. But we have to do what we have to do, right?

[dannigirl]

You got that right!!
I would give my right arm to have our family.

[dannigirl]

Well yuck.. Looks like my period is going to start.
Doing tranvaginal ultrasound while bleeding does not sound like fun at all... Gross

[JustJudy]

Oh no, that is the worst! I've had to have them out the puppy pads down before. :/

[dannigirl]

Drive 4 hours to Saskatoon for a 20 min appointment. And now 4 hours back home...
I can not wait for the day we never have to make this drive again!

All went good with the ultrasound. Meds for 4 days have been picked up and I start tomorrow. Ultrasound booked for Monday morning and I'm hoping I will be staying on tr same dose.
I can't believe the 900UI Golan F pen is $918.00 each!!

Oh well... Whatever it takes!!

[JustJudy]

Good Luck!!!!!!

[dannigirl]

#justjudy, how are you feeling???
I start my injection tonight. Rather nervous...

[cetcar]

Good luck you two! We're sending good vibes your way!

[JustJudy]

I had a migraine today that I'm pretty sure was from the meds. I did take one aleve since that's the only medicine I've found that helps and took a nap so it went away.

The injections aren't great, but I just do it as fast as I can and try not to think too much about it.

You can do it!

Thank you!!!

And I'm sorry you weren't feeling good today. I'm glad it cleared up with some rest.

I just did my first injections!!!
225 UI Golan F
75 UI Menopur

I accidentally wasted a small amount of Menopur cause I had a big bubble at the top and when I tried to get rid of it, about 5 drops came out. Oops!!
Hope that doesn't cause too many issues.. will have to be more careful.

1st round down!! It wasn't too bad... The Menopur stung a little, but nothing too bad. The epi pen didn't hurt at all, which was nice.

[bexincanada]

Thinking of you both JustJudy and dannigirl! Glad night one didn't cause you too much grief Danni, hope the rest of the night went well symptom-wise.

The rest of the night was great! I had an awesome sleep. Hope today is good. I feel bloated already though.. So we will see how that goes.

[JustJudy]

I did that with my lupron the first night! I was so annoyed with myself, but I didn't redraw, I just crossed my fingers I didn't waste too much.

First monitoring is done! 14ish are growing in there, 7 on either side and the two biggest are 10.5 so they're growing pretty evenly. Next apt is Monday. Eek!

That is awesome!!!! Yay!!!

Today was good except for about an hour ago, I started to feel pretty nauseous and thought I was going to throw up. I am still laying in bed... Think I'm feeling better though.

Made appt to see the RE in August. First available for "repeat customers " . Im mad I didn't push harder to make an appt sooner- life is so busy these days but now if we have to do hsg, etc etc again before monitoring we may not be able to start in September like we wanted. We hope to get back off dw insurance in January ($$$) so we don't have much time. And here we goooooo......

Exciting! The hurry up and wait aspect of TTC is the worst for me. I was able to do an HSG in the beginning of one of my IUI cycles so hopefully that can happen for you too.

[dannigirl]

Like JustJudy said, you might get lucky and have your HSG the same month. I got lucky twice for that.

Day two on stims... Last night went much smoother and I didn't waste any meds, which was nice. Although I felt drunk from too much sun. We went to an outdoor concert and there was no shade anywhere. We shouldn't been out in that since we're both on antibiotics right now... So that was a stupid decision for us. Oops... We will be more careful today as its another sunny day and we have a lot happening today too.
