so.... very very soon you will start these lovely injections..... did you notice that when you were taking the injections last time that you felt like you were getting sick at all? Since i started the injections i have felt like a cold is coming but just hasnt yet and wonder if its a side effect of the meds or if i am getting sick. I think i remember feeling like this last time but i 4got.

I can say that i am sooooo freeking glad to not have taken the lupron the cuz i feel 1000 times better than i did at this point last cycle.

how are you with that mega dose of lupron, bet i wouldnt be able to walk if i were you! Are your joints sore at all? Uggg, hope you are feeling good!!!

Tomorrow I will take my last BC!!! I am so excited. Hopefully, AF will show by Friday. Lol...I did have some congestion with the injectables and I felt like I was coming down with a cold, but I thought it was just the change in weather. Actually besides the dull headache I am experiencing no side effects. My nurse said the the lupron depot side effects are not as bad as the micro dose lupron. I have been a little moody but thats just me in general!! How are the stims going? Do you go in for b/w and u/s tomorrow?

May 05, 2008

i still feel like im coming down with a cold but i very well could be - we will see.

Yup, 2day at noon i will have u/s and b/w done and then i think i will start that gan-something injection 2night along with the follistim. Get to see how many of those little eggies have grown big and strong!

So today is the last b/c pill.... you will deff have AF by friday, i predict spotting wed night and full flow by thursday morning! lol!

Im bloated but really not all that bad and halfway done with this now so that is always exciting :)

You will be injecting by this time next week!!!! Yeah!!!

Stims are gonadotrophins. They are made up of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) that will stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Gonal F, Bravelle, Follistim, Pergonal and Repronex are the most commonly used gonadotropins

oh, Thats what I thought, but wasn't sure. My Dr wants to wait to use any injectables. If we fail IUI 2 times I am demading injectables.
