Hello ladies, any information or advice you can give me on these medications? Will be starting towards the end of august.
I was a bit shocked about the size of the needle for cetrotide. The needles didn't bother me before, ( I guess it's mind over matter and all for the best!!)
I was on different medication on my previous cycle.
Thanks

Hi are you doing the short protocol then? I started on the short on sat night - I started with menopur which is the same as Gonal F I think and I will be adding in the cetrotide on weds. I have to mix a lot of the menopur together so that had been a little tricky but the cetrotide is just one I think. The needle on the menopur I cant really feel. I can feel it slightly when its going in but nothing major. have you had your training yet?
Hi! Yes I'm on short protocol this time-i think I've just gone ahhhh!! As the meds are different to last time, and I was fine with the injections before. We are off to the hospital on Thursday to go through the meds.
Hi Hannahb84.If you are particularly worried about any pain caused by injecting, then pop and ask your GP for a prescription for some “Emla” cream or similar. This is a local anaesthetic of Lignocaine that you put on in a big “blob”, don’t rub it in, then cover it with a clear patch (need to ask GP for those too). Leave for 20-30 minutes and wipe off. Result – pain free injections! This cream comes in a single dose tube and you squeeze the lot on in a big “gob stopper” lump. No need to suffer! Good luck and I hope this helps. Diane
Been there and done that... it really isn't anything to worry about. It stings for a second and then it's done, once it's done it feels a bit itchy but it's nothing to worry about trust me Good luck x x x
