My RE's office said to stop when I get uncomfortable which they thought would have happened with Lupron (thank God it has not) but they definitely have on the schedule that absolute last day is the Sunday before ER. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter day and I will check in again tomorrow.

Meds went much better tonight. I did the menopur last and it still burned a bit maybe because I am doing 2 vials... tomorrow night I go down to 1 vial... I am sure it was all it my head that made me feel yucky... I went into tonight's round telling myself I can handle this and I want this so bad.
Cathy... I know how hard it is to deal with a dog with problems...my baby is actually 7 years old today and she has a muscle control issue and has trouble walking we give her steroids sometimes but then she has accidents in the house also...  Hopeful.... Dr never told me a day but I am pretty sure the Lupron took most of my desire away.... I would love to know what you find out incase I get mine back.... LOL

Cathy..sorry about your dog
I had to put my kitty down last year because she had end stage cancer..I know how hard it can be with a beloved family pet.JerseyJ&J...It sounds like the needle(s) might be dull. Switch the needle out after you draw up the medication because drawing up the medicine dulls the tip of the needle. As far as rotating, I just moved to areas all around my abdomen. You can try your thighs as well. Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter

Cathy, I haven't been on here quite enough lately, but I don't remember those names.
Hopeful.......We are supposed to abstain starting the 31st. ER is supposed to be on 4/3. They said at least 4-5 days before ER.

marcia- glad your meds went better last night!
hopeful- i'm on lupron right now which is not causing any sort of discomfort during  . but on my last IVF cycle, about a week into the stims (follistim, menopur, ganirelix), all the follicles on my ovaries made it very uncomfortable... so we completely stopped around 6 days before ER.
