Hi guys-- I have good news and bad news. The good news is that my numbers are good: up from 588 to 964 at 16dpiui. The bad news is my blood pressure is WAY up.

They come and go, but I have been having these weird sensations, as if I just worked out, or someone scared me--my heart has been thumping very hard, I have been shaking, and my ears ringing. I asked the medical assistant to take my BP, as I was wondering what the deal was. My normal BP is like 110/70. I was just sitting there, not even feeling the symptoms, and my BP was 142/94. I told the assistant this was high, and she said, "Oh, you're just nervous about your numbers." And I said, "Uh, no dude, I'm really not." Well, she kepy arguing with me about MY OWN FEELINGS and I just decided I'd talk to the nurse about it when she called.

I told the nurse, and she freaked. I am waiting to hear back about what the doctor wants me to do, but the nurse said I may need to go to the hospital and be evaluated. She said to stay in bed and not move until she called back. It's scaring me a bit. (Yeah, lady, NOW I am nervous!)

Anyway, I had to log on and tell you guys, despite the fact that I am supposed to just sit here. I have been sitting here for an hour and am about to jump out of my skin. If everything is OK, you'll hear from me again soon. If I have to go to the hospital, I don't really know when it will be. I'll let you know, and thanks in advance for your love and support. I can feel it already, and it helps, more than you could ever know.

I posted the results of my data collection of prescription drug prices on my other post.  Prices vary from pharmacy to pharmacy and across drugs as well.  I am not sure what injectables you will be using but I hope that the info helps you to select a reasonable provider.

hi helen and heather - i found some info on the spray

Synarel contains an active ingredient called nafarelin. Synarel belongs to a group of medicines called pituitary hormone analogues (specifically, gonadotrophin-releasing hormones) which work by decreasing the secretion of sex hormones (such as oestrogen). It is usually prescribed by your doctor to treat a condition called endometriosis or as part of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) programmes. When oestrogen levels are low, endometriosis tissue shrinks or may even disappear, and the symptoms of endometriosis ease. Synarel will temporarily reduce the level of oestrogen in the body, thereby temporarily relieving your endometriosis symptoms. In IVF, the low oestrogen levels and other pituitary hormones provide a more controlled situation for subsequent stimulation of the ovaries to produce eggs.

so i think its just like femara like you said heather.

helen - i guess you are me this week  on the drinking :)

... and now I am drinking to Heather's second HCG test.  I hope your # is sky high!!!!

Empty,
injectables worked for so many ladies on this forum, including Lexima and Heather.  If you look at IUI success rates they are the highest when combined with injectables.  I think you are on the road to success!!!

I'll am drinking to your upcoming BFP as I am typing this message!!!!!

Dee,

I have never heard of this nasal spray, but it may be an estrogen-suppressant like femara, which is what I took in additional to follistim. I have seen a lot of gonal-f success stories on here, and the combo-cycle sounds very proactive. it worked for me:-)

Best luck ole' buddy ole' pal oh my darlin' clementine. . .

(Sorry, lack of sleep is making me more LOONEY!!)
