AGP International House Of Pregos and TTCers

[HeathJo]

Yes, we have now added Pregos as our other Featured Items (Heather Jo, Lexima), but still have TTCers going strong to become Pregos. As always, pancakes, coffee, companionship, advice, and friendship served fresh 24/7!!!

Fiona,  I'm really glad no cysts this time.   Hallelujia!!!!    I'm not familiar with IVF protocol, but it would make sense that once you start meds your follies will increase.  I'm sure that is the goal with the meds you'll be taking to get those follies producing. What will you be starting and when?    

Yes, the shots are a breeze, yet I hesitate and sort of the dread the initial "poke" each time, even though it is virtually painless.  Guess I'm just a big wuss.

Just got back from u/s and b/w.  No cysts, thank God.  I was very nervous about that.  Waiting for b/w results, should have by early afternoon.  Question for you ladies.  There was only 5 resting follicles.  Will I produce more when I start taking the meds or is that it?

Helen, shots are a breeze so try not to worry about them.  I've have no side effects to speak of from the meds.

Well, I've typed you all well thought out messages twice now and each time I lose them before I can post.  My d(*& computer is aggravating me.  I can't seem to figure out what it is I touch while typing that makes me lose messages, but it happens all to frequently.  

I was just finishing up with answering Helen's question about side effects from the injections.  The one main affect is my patience is short, I become aggitated much more easily as is evident by my surpreme irration at my computer right now.  And, hold onto your seat this may be tmi, but my libido is MUCH increased.    

I'm not up to retyping the full messages a third time, but just know I am thinking of you all.   Heather, I'm very happy your pg is progressing well.  Dee I hope your parents are spoiling you.  Fiona, Please keep us updated on how your suppression goes.  Helen, will dh be going with you to your injection class?  Will he be helping with the injections?

HeathJo,
I am glad that your symptoms are growing since that means your HCG is going up!  It's a good news although it may not feel like it  :)

Fiona,
I know that your suppression test is on Monday or Tuesday.  I hope you get cleared and can start injections some time this week.  

Lisa,
I bet you are a pro of injections  by now.  Is it becoming routine?  I hope your panic attacks are gone and you are feeling better.  Do you have any side-effects?  Mary seemed to have none but everyone reacts to fertility meds differently.  

Nothing new with me. Waiting for my shot lesson on Thursday and some additional info.  My ivf meds should also arrive on Thursday.  So, I am still waiting....

Dee--I probably WAS sleeping--I seem to be only awake for very brief periods of time! I forgot you were in Singapore. What is it like there?

Lisa--I am so glad I am ot the only one who blew up a car! I did the exact same thing, ignoring the oil light. In the Txas summer heat, it is really not a good thing to do!

I know I have a couple more weeks before morning sickness kicks in, if at all. I am also very surprised at how tired I am, the horrid headaches, the painful/burning bbs, and other unmentionables. In terms of the sciatic pain, apparently as your ligaments stretch to accomodate your growing uterus, the muscles connecting to the sacrum, pelvis and pubic bone get stretched and sore. I am predisposed to muscle spasm, so this is what is supposedly causing that burning pain. It luckily does come in waves, and it passed aftee about 24 hours. I hope it stays away! Just this morning my sense of smell seems to have amplified itself by 500%, and I get a bit queasy from time to time. Maybe because I am old, or have such high HCG numbers this is why I am feeling so much so early. Anway, I am glad the ijections are going OK. I found them a bit difficult to administer also, but luckily I had some fat on my belly to help! You probably don't have that cushion, as skinny as you are, so I hope it's not too painful.

LOL.  Dee you are so very funny!!!!    

Heather, I'm sorry about your sleep disturbances and sciatic pain.  I know sciatic pain is very common in pregnancy.  I didn't think it started that early though.  I don't recall if I mentioned to you that both my sisters said they didn't feel any preggo symptoms until about 8 - 10 weeks into their pregnancies.  They had 10 pgs among the two of them and this was a fairly consitent patter with them all.  Everyone is different. But, you may have a few weeks to go before the morning sickness really kicks in.  Something to really look forward to!  I know I am just chomping at the bit to have my head in the toilet. (-:

Did my 1st injection last night.  I was actually really scared!  I sat there for a minute or two with the needle near my belly saying to myself "Oh, I can't do it". Then of course I did and it was like, "OK.  No biggie.".    I did wake up twice with panick attacks though.  So, now I'm thinking this is going to be a bumpy 2 weeks.  Hormones F&%# with us so much!!

Oh Heather, one more thing we have in common.  I too blew up my 1st car when I was 16 by forgetting to put oil in it!   I saw the oil light on and I kept saying, "Oh, next time I drive I'll remember to do that.".  Loddy, doddy daaaa.....driving away...another day goes buy.  "Oh, tomorrow I'll get that oil."  Loddy doddy daaa...driving way...day after day this went on, until finally, my car could no longer go on.  I LOVED that car.  A Datsun B210, Midnight blue, with blinkers that made this lovely clicking sound that was very soothing to me.  (-:
