I've got my 1st scratch on Tuesday and to be honest I'm petrified βΉ, then start the pill ready for next round. To be honest I haven't got my hopes up I'm totally turned off from my clinic and dreading going back, they have put us under so much pressure to start this round before the new year due to egg quality, I'm taking DHEA and coq10 to trying to improve egg quality.
I just feel like everything is against us, egg quality and despite loosing weight I'm still at my heaviest weight π.... I feel so ashamed about my weight too.
I suppose what will be will be just wish we could already fast forward to the end and deal with whatever result we get.
Hey cocker _ crazy I had the scratch for this cycle and honestly it was fine. If they told me I had to have it again I could no problem. I'm not going to say it's enjoyable but it's horrendous either x
Gas and air really? I took 2 paracetamol an hour before and nothing after. It lasts seconds. The way I looked at it was I want a baby and that baby had to come out one way or another. That will last more than a couple of seconds. My husband couldn't come to the appointment so I just manned up and before I knew it it was over. X
I've had the scratch twice and honestly it's over pretty quickly, it's a little uncomfortable like a smear. You could take a couple of paracetamol before if you wanted.
Sorry your feeling so pressured by your clinic but don't feel ashamed of your weight - it's hard to lose weight whilst on IVF drugs. Sounds to me like your doing everything possible to give you the best chance xx
Iβve had two. The first one was fine and much like a smear. Very quick. The second one they had issues with my cervix and I found it more painful. But still it was over fairly quick. Iβll probably have another one sometime after Christmas.. But listen, if I can do it then anyone can xx
I'm having my first scratch on the 20th and then start round 4 so know your pain! I'm having mine under sedation as I can't have internals, they knock me out for everything! I'm sure if you're worried you could ask your clinic? If you don't have to have the extra pressure then don't! Good luck for round 4 πππxx
Had mine 2 weeks ago and it was fine. Just like a slightly more uncomfortable smear π. My clinic gave me a NSAID pessary to take an hour before. Took nothing else after it. You'll do great! xx
Like a smear test, the thought of it is worse than reality! It's clearly not a pleasant experience but it was really absolutely fine. Just try and relax and chat to the nurse with you and it'll be done before you know it! xx
