Nope I havent started mine yet. AF is supposed to arrive on Thursday so that would mean that I would start them this weekend. What injectables are you taking again Toni?

Oh no! I'm sorry you're having side effects already Toni! And I'm sorry Steve didn't end up helping you out like he said he would! Just try to stay positive and hopefully you'll only have to go through all of this once. It will all be worth it in the end when you get your BFP and are awaiting your beautiful baby(ies). I hope you're feeling better soon!

At least until Friday, that's when I go for another U/S. I'll know more from there. I have felt really nauseous too.... grrr.... LOL this will so be worth it though. I just keep reminding myself of my goal. Maybe I'll just get used to the side effects after a couple of days...

Thanks! DH helped me tonight ... and it was sooo much easier than trying to do it myself. I think the anticipation of stabbing myself is what gets me.... and then I tense up alot.

I also talked to a woman at work who has taken the same drugs as me.... and she says that you never get used to the s/e. LOL Let's just hope this is the one and only cycle I have to do this for!!!!

I hope you are feeling better today hun!! I will start taking Follistim as soon as AF shows which I am thinking will be any day now. I started getting cramps off and on this afternoon so I am pretty sure she is on her way! I hope this works for us both and we both end up in that June DDC!!!
