AGP, follies, fetuses and Mojitos - Life is good
You ask, I deliver here's the new post:
Dee - sorry the nasal spray makes you gag. What is your next step?
Heather - We need to start a birthday chart! Don't you think?
Helen - Happy, happy birthday!
Ladies, please post your birthdays so I can start a chart. I don't want to miss any of yours!
I did ask about 2 IUI's versus one. I got the same answer I always get. "There are no studies that suggest 2 IUI's are better than one well timed IUI. We will certainly do 2 if you want two, but we don't believe it is any more helpful than one well timed IUI." Since I'm being monitored daily with u/s now and taking the meds to stop ovulation. I'm pretty confident this IUI will be very well timed.

I had my u/s yesterday and ......... my ivf is postponed indefinitely. I have an ovarian cyst probably from taking clomid last cycle. I cannot start anything till it goes away. Last time I had an ovarian cyst it stayed for months and had to be surgically removed. My next u/s is in a week but I am not holding my breath. So for now everything is off :(
SamLB: Welcome. I always try to warn newcomers that we are a somewhat crazy bunch. We often go off on tangents that have nothing to do with TTC -- but it helps keep us sane (relatively speaking of course). If you can handle us, we welcome you with open arms.
Fiona: I can't believe your RE never told you about injecting into your stomach. Even though all the med handouts say either abdomen or thigh, my RE told me only to do them in the abdomen. It seriously doesn't hurt at all! I am glad to see the 12 is at least trying to grow. If your hormones haven't levelled off yet, maybe you'll get one more night of stimming. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Hi all of you guys - I'd love to join in here...I'm still getting my head round who's just had a birthday, who's done how many IUIs so far, who's on meds, whose dog is called what...!! just be patient and I'll get there! EMPTY: Tks for refering me and anya to here from the forum.
having 'left' (temporarily) the 2WW thread, it's great to have contact with all you guys as we're all IUI or IVF...just to fill you in quicky, I'm on meds (first Puregon injections) but gave me problems so couldn't have first IUI. moved on to Menogon (same as Gonal) and had first IUI. Unuccessful (obviously, otherwise I'd be on some pg thread by now!). had second IUI about 2,5 weeks ago (after menogon plus trigger) - only to see AF's ugly face last Sunday. So I'm now injecting again and will have my 2nd IUI around about the same time as early (in approx. 2 weeks - depending on how my folloies decide to behave!). nice to meet you all and will continue to read up about you all!! good luck to anyone who's near test time (well, good luck to alll of us of course - only one reason why we're all here, after all!!). hugs to you all, ladies :)

Amy, I'm so sorry about your news. I hope the wait time flies by for you.
Mary, only a few more days. How are you feeling?
Ladies, you probably know this already but I read on a website the other night that you get better absorption of meds if you inject in the stomach. I asked my nurse yesterday and she said yes. I wish I'd know this before because I've been using my thigh. I used my stomach last night and this morning and it hurts way less too!
Had to take 600 gonal f last night and 300 this morning along with antagon. This morning follies were L 18, R 19.5, 13. Little ******* won't grown fast enough. Waiting for b/w but will go forward with ivf. Will probably tigger tonight and retrieval will be Sunday.

Sorry for back to back posting. Somehow, I lost the end of my last post.
Lisa: How's everything going with you. I know it is early in the 2WW, but it can be maddening. Hopefully, Sparky will be very needy and allow the time to fly by.
Helen: Did you start your injectibles last night? If so, how was it?

Dee: The waiting game is so tedious and torturous. I am hoping they give you the green light after the next round of b/w.
Fiona: I am thinking about you as you go back in today. I'm hoping the 12 grew a bit and that you are able to go forward with the cycle.
Heather: I am sure this whole scenario must be really overwhelming. FWIW I think you are taking the right approach with trying to remain relaxed and rested. You and your babies have been in my thoughts constantly, and I will continue to send positive thoughts your way. I am here if you need anything.
