Afternoon girls
My boss is away out this afternoon so lots of time for catching up on FF!
LouLou - I am on the Flare Protocol, which consists of 10 days of Norethisterone tablets to dr, then a couple of HCG injections (to help the eggs i think) then stim with 225 gonnal F for around 7 days. The drugs package is quite low so don't get many side effects. Hope your feeling a little less stressed? Have you tried the Zita West relaxation CD's? I found them really good first cycle, good visualisation techniques and helps clear your mind if your having trouble getting to sleep. I listened to mine on the ipod but one night my dh was so curious i payed it aloud when we were going to sleep . . . not good, he could not stop snickering thoughout, not very relaxing
Here is a discount code for her website if you want to buy anything - ED1082063
Lillytiger - My dh does the injections, makes him feel usefull
I did mine in the thigh last time as i thought my legs were a bit tougher but thinking of trying the tummy this time as its closer to my ovaries
Think you can go mad with all the food & drink do's and don'ts. I recently heard a litre of milk & 2 litres of water a day is essential. I asked the nurse and she said as long as you eat a healthy diet and drink water to help flush out the drugs thats the best you can do, nothing else is proven. Saying that i do have a bowel of Brazil nuts on my kitchen table and sure the Pineapple juice will make an appearance at some point
Kuga - Hows the positivity going? The odds are more in our favour this time
this WILL work! Are you sniffing with Buserelin tomorrow? How long for?
Babysteps - I'm on Pregnacare and fish oil just now. The fish oil has to have high DHA and Omega 3 which i have found really hard to find. Pregnacare Plus (which you can use from conception & throughout pregnancy) has a double pack with fish oil but the Pregnacare conception doesn't which is really annoying. Because of that i have been taking the Pregnacare Plus but worry i should be on the conception!
Don't you love all the staff at GCRM
Marco is so caring & lovely, hope i have him again for ec/et.
Your all right about friends not knowing what to say. So many of our friends know now and i wish id kept my big mouth shut! We have only told our parents about this tx though so hopefully will keep the pressure off. Thats why its so good to chat to girls in the same situation, good for you mental state!
I'm going down to see the folks tonight and set up itunes for them, I'm sure if they put their mind to it they could do it themselves! My mum is really worried for me in case this tx doesn't work. Last week she had bought me loads of stuff for the house and even made me cushions for my bed that match my curtains!!! She is the best
