Nurse just called, E2 is at 3218. I did the HCG (Novarel) last night. I'm a little sore in the backside :O) Tonight I get a night off, no meds or shots of any kind. Eat or drink nothing after midnight, tomorrow wear comfy clothing, no make-up, cream, perfume or jewelry, take Levaquin in the am right before leaving the house and be at the office at 8am for a 9:30 retrieval.

Jenstar.. YW hun! I really hope that this works for u after everything that u have been through.
Im currently 5 dpo and feeling nothing but I know that its to soon to be feeling anything at all. I took Clomid this month and did Robitussin to help with my CM and it worked wonders so Im happy about that.
AF is due for me on SEpt 10 so I have a ways to go! Good luck and sending loads of prayers to u and ur DH!

OMG OMG Jenstar! This is great news, I am going to be right behind you!!!! I am praying all will go great with the retrieval! One Q- what is Levaquin? I do not have that in my med pack??
Sorry about your sore bum with the novarel, I have been doing all meds in the abdomin, seem to be workingo ut fine, I did the Novarel last month with clomid in the abs and OMG it hurt so much, guess it really does not matter where you do it, it hurts! Post tomorrow after if you feel up to it!

Caryn, Thanks for the wishes!!! Levaquin wasn't in my "initial" med pack but the nurse gave me 6, yes 6 RX to have filled. One included the Doxycycline that we have been taking. The Levaquin is one pill to be taken with a sip of water before leaving the house for the retrieval, it's an antibiotic. I was also given:Medrol (once a day for 4 days), Tetracycline (four times a day for 4 days),Valium (not to be taken until the nurses instruct me to do so on morning of transfer) and pain meds in case I need it. I'm glad we are going through this together, I am thinking of you :O)
Katie- I'm hoping that AF stays away!!!!! *****BABY DUST****

Thanks so much for all the luck and good wishes!!!
Caryn, I wouldn't worry about not getting the same meds cuz all the offices do different protocols but you might want to just ask because it could be in your file and possible a nurse forgot to give them to you. You will be going back many, many times I went four days in a row the last four days. I would think they would want you to have some kind of antibiotic. Maybe some of the others on here could tell you if they had them too. The Valium is for the transfer, I think because you are awake during that procedure and the retrieval we are "out".
Chels--THANKS! Looks like there might be around 11 that they can take out, the others are probably too small. That is just what one of the nurses doing the U/S told me. I'll keep you posted. :O)

The valium would be for after the retreival. I was given codiene. Its just a little bit of cramping and minor pain, not bad, but you'll be down the rest of the day.
The transfer is super easy..just like an iui but they will use an u/s too while they put the catheter in to make sure its in the right spot..they have you go in with a full bladder and you lay for 30 min after.
GL girls!!!

both caryn :)
They just give it to relax you for both proceedures - i dont think you have to take it but i didi. I wasnt really nervous but it was nice to be a bit ore calm when i was so nervous about the eggs they would be able to get and fertilize.
I took antibotic but i dont think every doc does that, its a precaution cuz they are making a little hole in your tubes so in rare cases you could get infections.
I wasnt offered pain pills for after the retreval but i asked for them the 2nd time i did IVF cuz i was a little uncomfy but not terrible.
The think that sucked SOOOOOO badly for me is they said to come with a full bladder so i drank WAAAAYYYYYY too mcuh and was in pain while they were doing the transfer..... OMG, i thought i was going to pee and cry at the same time. The 2nd time aroudn i drank fluids but not as much and it was much better, i actually did lay there after the transfer for 15 min like i was spose to.
