Me myself & ivf diary, advise feeling it in?

[Leesalou]

Maybe a really stupid question,

It says down reg

Start date

Medication

Dose

Long / short protocol

Then few pages later it has down reg results, the next page stimulation

So unless I'm being really stupid

My care fertility book doesn't mention anything about down reg, it says start menopur stimulation medication on 18/07/17 so do I not feel in down reg details in confused which doesn't take a lot lol,

On the 5th day of menopur I also then have to take cetrotide

And it says on my care fertility book Cetrotide Protocol (I've not once asked if long or short)

Just wanted to feel in my book before Tuesdays appointment,

So be most grateful for any help

Hi, its sounds as if you are on a short protocol without a down reg. Have you been taking Norethisterone?xx

[Leesalou in reply to bluewanderlust]

Hi

I was on microgynon instead of norethisterone, I started that on 14/06 & took last one 13th just waiting for my period to arrive,

Have baseline 18th and if all ok start menopur that evening then day 5 menopur and cetrotide

Thanks for your reply xx

[bluewanderlust in reply to Leesalou]

That all sounds like a short protocol without down reg. Have you had your injection training yet? xx

[Leesalou in reply to bluewanderlust]

Yes had that on 3rd July, drugs come on the 8th, so hopefully all good to go on the 18th

That's cool I'll check with them on Tuesday and I'll just leave the down reg section blank

Thanks again for your reply

Xx

The clinic will regulate your period so if fits in with their schedule. I had the same, just pill to regulate then straight onto stimms. It is all a bit overwhelming at first and I felt like I was doing something wrong or would get the injections doses muddled up. After a couple of days you will be a pro! If you need any help or advice just ring your clinic, I am sure they will talk you through it all xx

This is my 2nd cycle, my first was unsuccessful 6 years ago, and it was totally different to this time I didn't have to go on the pill last time I rang on a certain day of my period and then started,

Very over whelming this time round, the injections are all different too I've got to mix them myself, I'm just worried that I'll cock something up, I wish it was easier and guaranteed, xx

I've got the same book and I'm on short protocol like you so you just ignore all the pages about down regging. It's a great little diary x

[Leesalou in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for your reply, it's a lovely book isn't it, and I see that I was like o I can't see anything in my care book about down regs, x

[Hidden in reply to Leesalou]

No I didn't get told whether I was on long or short. Mine said certricide protocol like yours. I had to google it. I'm glad I'm on short as the down Regging side effects sound awful. Good luck for your scan on Tuesday x

[Leesalou in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, good luck on journey too,

Xx

[bluewanderlust]

Don't worry Care will give you injection training, they will show you how to mix it all. When its your first time to inject go somewhere quiet and lay everything out carefully. It will all make sense as each one has its own syringe. Just take your time and relax, it will be fine xxx

[Leesalou in reply to bluewanderlust]

I've been shown just seems really over whelming I'm sure I'll be fine once first one is out the way, you at care too ? I'm tunbridge branch xx

[Gemz29]

I have the same book too, first pic ready of meds, as I started my first injection today😊. When do u start? Xx

[Leesalou in reply to Gemz29]

I've finished my journey of ivf on the 15th of this month, for a BFP,

Good luck with your cycle xx
